David Lee Nederveld passed away surrounded by his loving family, at his home, on August 15, 2026. He was 73 years old. Dave was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a man of few words but his actions spoke for him. He was a blessing to so many. He loved the Lord and he loved his family and friends.

Dave was born December 11, 1952, in Grand Rapids, MI. He and his family moved several times as he grew up. They lived in Byron Center, Cadillac, Livonia, Okemos and finally settled in Lansing. Dave graduated from Okemos High School in 1971. He attended Western Michigan University and Michigan State University, majoring in DNR and Law Enforcement. As he attended classes at MSU, he went to work for his father at Capital City International Trucks (CCIT) in Lansing, MI. Dave's brother, Bruce, joined CCIT a few years later. Dave and Bruce jointly became owners of Capital City Truck and Bus Sales when their father, Clifford Nederveld, retired. Dave retired in 2018 after working at CCIT for 45 years. Dave retired to Big Star Lake and lived his life long dream for 5 years. He served in the Michigan National Guard from 1972 – 1976.

Dave loved to golf and fish. He had many interests over the years that included: building aquariums and furniture, He enjoyed taxidermy, gardening, restoring a 1955 Oldsmobile, rock hounding and collecting sea shells. He created many beautiful artistic pieces from his rocks and shells. He made wire trees and was immersed in working in resins and creating beautiful pieces that he enjoyed giving to family, friends and even strangers, that came to our house.

Above all, Dave's true joys were his family, friends and church community. Immanuel Community Reformed Church in Lansing and Evergreen Covenant Church in Branch, MI, brought him his closest friends. Dave loved his dogs Max, Otis and Reece. Dave was loved and loved well.
