Scott R. Duursma

It is with great sadness that the family of Scott Duursma announces his passing on August 30th, 2025 at the age of 65. Scott was born in Grand Rapids, MI on July 7th, 1960 to John and Christine Duursma. Scott graduated from Northview High School and continued his education at Grand Rapids Junior College for culinary arts. Later, Scott went on to find his passion in construction, working at Dan Vos Construction Company for 37 years. Scott Valued hard work and getting the job done right. Scott was an avid outdoorsman and took every opportunity to spend his free time in the woods or on the water. Scott won the “Big Buck” competition at work numerous times and would offer his advice to anyone that would listen. Hunting was a sacred sport for Scott. He enjoyed nothing more than spending evenings bluegill fishing with his neighbor and friend, “Mr. Red.” We know they have already broken out the fishing poles together in Heaven. Another big part of Scotts life was Michigan football. He enjoyed attending games with his dad and brother, later passing the tradition on to his daughter, Jenna. It was a rare Saturday if you couldn’t find them watching the game together and Scott yelling at the TV as if the players could hear him. As Scott would say, “Go Blue!” Scott was immensely proud of his daughter Jenna and her many accomplishments. He was looking forward to retiring to spend more time with her and his wife, Sherri, as well as working on his many projects around his home. Scott was loved by many and will be terribly missed. Scott was preceded in death by his parents, John and Christine Duursma; brother, John Duursma; and his dear mother-in-law, Judy Moulthrop. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Sherri Duursma; daughter, Jenna Duursma and her significant other Josh Klein; sisters, Tracy (Tom) Rosenbach and Rebecca (David) Draaisma. The family will hold a Celebration of Life on Saturday, September 27th from 1-4 PM at the Bloomingdale Conservation Club, Bloomingdale, MI. The family suggests memorial contributions be made to The Wings Home, 330 Linn St, Allegan, MI 49010. Arrangements entrusted to the Bloomingdale Chapel, D. L.
