Daniel Belstra, age 56, of Wyoming passed away unexpectedly on Monday, February 3, 2025. Danny was a very loving, caring and gentle giant. He was very easy-going and had the type of personality that made it easy to go up to him and strike up a conversation. Once you became friends with “Bird,” you knew that you had a friend for life and that you could always count on him to be there when you needed help. He was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to the University of Michigan sports. Danny also took pride in being a Godwin Heights alumni. He loved to spend time outdoors and always stayed on the move, except for when it came time to sit in a tree stand or a deer blind during hunting season. Danny especially cherished the hunting trips to Saskatchewan that he took with his father, “Big Bird.”. The thing that he cherished the most though, was his family. He was a kind and compassionate son, big brother, and uncle. To them he would never say “goodbye,” it was always “See ya!” He was preceded in death by his father, Larry Belstra, and nephew Johnny Crittendon. He will be deeply missed by his mother, Grace (Joseph) Savickas; sister, Kimberly Belstra; nieces and nephews, Karrah Waller, Kandace (Kayla) Gross, Kasadie Crittendon, Austin (Jaiden) Waller; great nephews and nieces, Zahvier Waller, Madden Waller, Mylah Waller; and many lifelong friends. The family of Danny would like to thank his coworkers at Alta for their friendship to him over the past eight years and for their quick response and lifesaving efforts. Relatives and friends may visit with the family, and pay their respects to Danny on Monday, February 10, 2025 from 1:30-3 pm at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home (Grandville) 4145 Chicago Dr. SW. Funeral services will follow at 3 pm.
