William G. Kass' Obituary
William “Bill” George Kass, age 56, passed away unexpectedly on February 11, 2025. Bill was born in Muskegon, MI, on April 1, 1968, to William Bernard Kass and Audrey Anna Raap, and he graduated from Ravenna High School in 1986. William’s favorite pastime was anything that he could do outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, or finding the elusive morel mushroom. He was a friend to all and loved by anyone who met him. It was difficult to get him to go anywhere, but once he was there he was the life of the party. He had a great sense of humor and had a passion for music.
Bill will be lovingly remembered by his longtime significant other, Jacquelyn Goebel; two children: Trent and Courtney Goebel; grandson, Ryder Murray; mother, Audrey Anna Raap; two siblings: Jeanette Kass and Brian (Andrea) Kass; and many extended relatives. He was preceded in death by his father, William Bernard Kass.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Bill at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to your local Trout Unlimited Chapter. Arrangements entrusted to The Ravenna Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 3570 Thomas St, Ravenna, MI, 49451. Please sign the family’s online guestbook and share memories at sytsemafh.com
