Michael Den Dulk Obituary

Michael den Dulk
March 31, 1956 - October 30, 2022
Honolulu, Hawaii - Michael Arie den Dulk
1956 - 2022
Michael den Dulk, age 66, passed away on Sunday, October 30, 2022, in Honolulu, Hawaii after a brief illness. His brother Jim den Dulk and daughter Amy den Dulk along with her fiancé Trevor Ryan were by his side. Born and raised in Ripon, CA, Mike was a 36 year resident of Kailua-Kona, Hawaii where he worked as a job superintendent for MARYL Construction. Later he branched out on his own as a painting contractor and also worked at United Airlines. Mike was a member of Living Stones Church in Kailua-Kona, HI and loved his church family there. While Mike knew challenges in life, his hope and identity was as a covenant child of God, in Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior. He will be remembered for his free--sometimes headstrong--spirit, his quick wit and sense of humor and love for family and friends.
Mike is preceded in death by his father Marvin H den Dulk. He is survived by his son Arie den Dulk of Tokyo, Japan; daughter Amy den Dulk of Tahoe City, CA and her fiancé Trevor Ryan; mother Edith den Dulk of Ripon, CA; sister Deb Van Groningen (Mark) of Ripon, CA; brother Jim den Dulk (Andrea) of Folsom, CA; sister Shari Post (Dick) of Grand Rapids, MI; and many nieces and nephews whom he all loved very much.
A Celebration of Life for Mike will be held at 11:00 am Pacific time on Saturday, December 10, 2022, at Immanuel Christian Reformed Church located at 517 Orange Avenue, Ripon, CA. The Celebration of Life will also be live streamed at: https://www.immanuelcrc.org/watch. Services will be officiated by Pastor Patrick Anthony. Interment will be at Ripon Cemetery.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Mike helped me paint the inside of my house in Modesto @1984. Just a really fun person whose bright light will be shining in Heaven.

Dear family of Mike Den Dulk. We send our sincere prayers of losing Mike. We met Mike in Hawaii 2012, and he became a friend that we visited with during our many visits to the island. His friendship was sincere and he always shared about his family. During our recent visits, he shared his faith and devotion to the Lord. He shared with us that he had recently been baptized at living stone Church. That was surely exciting news.
We are thankful that the Lord had us cross paths with Mike.
May you feel comfort and peace that he is in the Lords tender care now.
Sincerely, Bob and Annette Diliberto
Hilmar, Ca
