Howard E. Herrygers' Obituary
Mr. Howard Herrygers, age 65, passed away on Saturday, April 2, 2022. He was born on March 6, 1957 in Shelby, MI to Frank and Verzel (MacDonald) Herrygers. Howard received his Associates Degree from Michigan Tech and worked in maintenance as an electrical engineer for several years. He went on to teach and train at Consumers Energy, helping others pass certification tests. Howard’s strong work ethic was something he took pride in along with his able teaching skills. He was always willing to lend a hand to those in need and will be remembered for his selflessness. Most importantly, was the time spent with his family. Howard married the former Bonnie Spaulding on May 26, 1979 and together they raised their three sons, Ryan, Jacob and Aaron. As much as Howard loved being a dad, he loved being a grandpa even more and cherished the time spent with his grandchildren. Howard will be missed by his wife of 42 years, Bonnie; sons, Ryan (Janese) Herrygers, Jacob (Jenni) Herrygers, and Aaron (Brittany) Herrygers; eight grandchildren; and sisters, Kathy White and Lois Fris. He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings, Samuel Herrygers and Jane Herrygers. A Memorial Service will be held 11:00AM on Tuesday, April 5 at The Sytsema Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 737 E. Apple Ave., Muskegon, MI 49442. Visitation with the family will be from 10:30-11:00AM. Please feel free to share a memory with the family online at www.sytsemafh.com.
