He is survived by partner Karen Overly; 5 children: Corrie (John) Geneva, Dell (Amanda) Swarvar, William Swarvar, Alisa Swarvar, Abraham (Sam) Swarvar; ten grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren. Witte is also survived by his former wives, Paula Spofford and Deanna Swarvar. He was preceded in death by his parents, and daughter Charlotte. The family will be having a celebration of life some time next year. Arrangements have been entrusted to The Sytsema Chapel of Sytsema Funeral and Cremation Services, 737 E.
