Age 95, of Kalamazoo, passed away Friday morning, August 2, 2024 to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Si was born in Grand Rapids on June 4, 1929, the son of Oepke and Dora (VanHuizen) Monsma. He was a Kalamazoo area resident since 1952. Si was a member of Calvary Bible Church. On August 1, 1952, he married Glenna Kimp who preceded him in death in 2017.
Si loved life and enjoyed traveling with Glenna. He enjoyed sailing, running, bicycling, hunting and fishing. Later in life you could find him walking at Sam’s Club, Meijer, or Walmart enjoying all the friends he’d made there. He also spent time with his I-Pad researching things and watching YouTube videos; a learner to the end.
Si is survived by his children, Lori (John) Clement of Paw Paw, Roger (Laura) Monsma of Portage; grandchildren David (Haluka) Roche, Mark Roche, Rebecca (Steve) Chapin, and Aaron (Nicole) Monsma. Si is also survived by nine great-grandchildren; several nieces and nephews; and many friends.
