They have six grandchildren whom Ned and Cindy treasured.

Ned was a logger by trade. He was a friend to many and loved by most. There is nothing he couldn’t do and wouldn’t do for his friends and others.

He enjoyed fishing, mushroom hunting, and spending time with his son Dustin.

Ned is lovingly remembered by his brother, Harvey (Lois) Vander Weide; sisters, Marva Hollebrands, Carl Budding, Sally (Carl) Vandusseldorp, Jayne (Steve) Languard, Kimberly (Matt) Hansen, and stepbrother, Kinney (Sharon) Tromp.

Ned was a treasured authentic man, mate, father, brother, and friend. He was a hard worker, loved and played hard!
