Timothy Stoike, age 57 of Holland, passed away unexpectedly on June 27, 2019.
Timothy was a people person, who found joy in talking with others, getting to know them, and being around them. He spent most of his life in sales, and even owned a few restaurants over the years. It is no surprise then that Timothy was also a wonderful cook! He enjoyed serving others, and the family will cherish the memories of their crab leg dinners after Christmas Eve bell service. He was a graduate of Davenport University, where he earned a degree in business and sales. When he wasn’t working, he enjoyed tinkering on all things mechanical – cars, boats, motorcycles, you name it. He also enjoyed enjoying the outdoors on everything from watercraft, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and quads. Above all though, Timothy valued his family and the relationships he held with other. He was an amazing father, brother, son, and friend, and will be missed by all who knew him.
Timothy was preceded in death by a daughter Alysha in 2003, father Emil in 1980, and brother Steve in 2014.
Timothy is survived by his children: Ryan and Lori Stoike of Zeeland, Erika and Brian Brondyke of Allendale, Meghann and Russell Boerigter of Holland; Mother Norma and Jarvis Dozeman of Holland; Siblings: Kevin and Kathy Stoike of Holland, Terry and Magaly Newmeyer of Maitland, Florida, Greg and Carol Stoike of Grand Junction; 6 grand-dogs and 1 grand-cat; Many nieces, nephews, cousins, and beloved friends
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, July 1, 2019 from 4:00-7:00 pm at Immanuel Church, 326 104th Ave, in Holland. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family, care of Erika Brondyke, for end of life fees.
