David De Jong, age 50, of rural Hospers, was suddenly taken to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, in a traffic accident south of Hospers.
David Wayne was born on September 27, 1962, in Sheldon, the son of Franklin and Wyllean (Wideman) De Jong. He was raised in rural Hospers, where he attended the Christian school. He graduated from Unity Christian High School in Orange City.
On August 6, 1983, he married Barbara Lee Dering in South Holland, Illinois. They made their home in rural Hospers.
In earlier years, Dave was employed by Bandstra Furs in Sioux Center and Demco Manufacturing in Boyden. He also helped bale hay and do chores for area farmers. He was currently farming with his brothers.
He was baptized and made profession of his faith in the Hospers Christian Reformed Church, but was currently a member of the Redeemer United Reformed Church.
Mr. De Jong enjoyed cutting and splitting firewood, planting trees, and woodworking, especially with his sons. What he built was sturdy, made to last.
Survivors include his wife of more than 29 years, Barb; four sons, Daniel David De Jong, age 25, of Hospers; Luke Lee De Jong, age 22, of Salix; and Caleb Joel De Jong, age 20, and Seth Andrew De Jong, age 15, both at home; his parents, Frank and Wyllean De Jong, of Hospers; a sister and her husband, Connie and Gordon Zonnefeld, of Sheldon; and two brothers and their wives, Robert and Carla De Jong, and Daryl and Lori De Jong, all of rural Sheldon.
He was preceded in death by his wife's parents, Henry and Joyce Dering; a sister-in-law, Marge Beasley; and both sets of grandparents.
