Richard A. “Rich” Westmaas, man of God, went home to be with Jesus on April 2, 2016 after a brief illness.

Rich was a much-loved husband, father, grand- and great-grandfather, a compassionate clinical psychologist, a dedicated church and community leader, a lover of the outdoors and a faithful friend and trusted mentor to many.
Rich was born in a farmhouse in Highland Township and grew up in a loving Christian family, including father Adam and mother Tena (Vredevoogd) Westmaas, sisters Gert (Henry) Vanderveen, Ev (Hilbert) Benthem and Tess (Sid) Cnossen, all now deceased, and brothers Marv (Char) and Ken (Henrietta)Westmaas, who are still living.

He is survived by his dear wife and sweetheart of 61 years, Evelyn (Kenbeek) Westmaas, and by children and spouses: Joel (Loralee) and Andy (Michele) Westmaas, Heidi (Peter) Eliot and Amy (Dean) Smallegan. Adding to Rich and Evie’s joy are grandchildren Katrena (Rob) Froh, Emily Westmaas, Tom and Katie Eliot, April (Brett) Kuiper, Collin (Jenny) Schut, Ben (Christy) Potter, Nolan Potter, and Jacob and Rachel Westmaas, plus step-grandchildren Taylor, Emily and Sarah Voss and 9 great-grandchildren.

Rich served in the US Army, taught at Calvin College, worked at Pine Rest Christian Hospital, served for three years in Afghanistan with the US State Department, and had a private practice in Cadillac for 21 years.

Rich was a dedicated volunteer, an active member of Rotary and a committed Kids Hope tutor. He was also a founding Board member of Workplace Chaplains, Inc. and was a longtime supporter of Northern Michigan Christian Schools.

Funeral services will be held 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, April 6, 2016 at Cadillac Christian Reformed Church with Reverends Jeff Kroondyk, Bert VanAntwerpen and Chic Broersma officiating.
