David Albert Van Boxel

David Albert Van Boxel, 79, went to be with the Lord on Sunday March 2, 2025, with his family by his side. David loved God with all his heart, and that passionate love radiated through him for all to see. He loved his family and his church. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, and going for rides. He found great peace and solitude in the outdoors.
David will be deeply missed by his wife Sandra Lea Van Boxel; his four children, Sarah Van Boxel, Leigh (Daniel) Schisel, Beth (Eric) Svoboda, and Josh (Amber) Van Boxel; his six grandchildren and seven great grandchildren; one sister Mickey (Don) LaFortune; two sisters-in-law, Ginger Van Boxel and Karen Van Boxel; along with many nieces and nephews.
David was preceded in death by his parents, William and Gladys (Hendrickson) Van Boxel; three sisters, Carol Hathaway, Joan Orde, and Jean Pokorny; four brothers, Ronald Van Boxel, William Van Boxel, Bernard Van Boxel, and Daniel Van Boxel; nieces, Lori Barr and Jody Orde; nephews, Joe Orde and Bob Orde; brother-in-law David Pokorny; and sister-in-law Joan Van Boxel.
Family and friends may gather at Abundant Life Church, 210 Capich Drive, Eagle River, on Saturday March 8, 2025. Visitation will take place from 11:00am-12:00 with a service to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in David's name to Abundant Life Church, who partners with Going Global, to support missionaries serving in an orphanage in the Andaman Islands.
