Ronald D. Boeve

Ronald D. Boeve, age 60, of Holland, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, July 6, 2022 and entered his heavenly home to be with his Lord and Savior. Ron was born on November 28, 1961 in Holland, MI to Wayne and Hazel Boeve. He married his high school sweetheart Jan Jipping on June 1, 1984. Together they raised a son and daughter and over the years added a daughter-in-law and three beautiful granddaughters to the family. Ron was completely devoted to his wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family. His life was grounded in his relationship with Jesus Christ and grew stronger day by day. He was an active member of Providence Church where he developed lifelong friendships. Ron was an amazing doting grandfather, and his granddaughters thought the world of their Papa. He was “Mr. Fix It” to all who knew him and had the most beautifully landscaped yard in his neighborhood on Pioneer Avenue. How does one sum up a life so well lived but that ended too soon? He had great hair, opinions about everything, loved playing games, and camping. He lived for his family and his faith. “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7. Ron is survived by his wife of 38 years, Jan Boeve; his children Josh (Lisa) Boeve of Kentwood and Angie Tufts of Spring Lake; his granddaughters Allison Tufts, Emma Boeve, and Claire Tufts; his siblings Keith (Paula) Boeve of Grand Rapids, Kraig (MaryBeth) Boeve of Holland, Sheryl (James) Jo of Kentwood, and Jan’s brother Ron (Bev) Jipping of Hudsonville; his father-in-law Alvin Jipping of Holland; and numerous nieces and nephews. Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Hazel Boeve; mother-in-law, Muriel Jipping; and nephew, Chris Boeve. Visitation for Ron is scheduled from 2 – 4 p.m. and 6 - 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 10, at Providence Christian Reformed Church, 821 Ottawa Avenue, Holland. A Celebration of Life service is planned for 6:00pm Monday, July 11 also at Providence Church. Rev. Toby Gruppen will officiate. A private graveside burial for family will be in Graafschap Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds or Providence Church Used By Design.
