Our hearts are heavy with grief, but also rejoicing that Daniel Van Hoven is with his Savior. He went to be with Jesus early Saturday morning, December 3, 2022. He left this world suddenly and very unexpected. Even though our hearts ache we are thankful for each day the Lord had given us with him.
Please keep our family in your prayers. Dan was an amazing father, husband, and “DANPA”. He loved his bride, Francine Van Hoven and he adored his children David (Melissa) and Tami, as well as his grandchildren, Noah and Taya. He is also survived by his mother, June Van Hoven and his brother, Tom Van Hoven.
If there was a tool, he had it. If it was broken, he could fix it. He loved his church family at Suncoast Cathedral. He enjoyed worship every Sunday and singing in the choir. Dan maintained a great love for his hometown and the many family and friends who were in Michigan. We are so thankful for the legacy he leaves, for the many life lessons he taught his children, and for his faith in Jesus Christ. We will be having a celebration of life at 11am on Saturday December 17, 2022 at Suncoast Cathedral 2300 62nd Ave North St. Petersburg Florida.

Dan was one of my best friends. He was always positive and there for me. Dan helped me tremendously with getting the house ready for my mom. He was loyal and I could always count on him to be there for me. He was a special person who touched so many peoples lives. He will be missed by every one. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.
I had an opportunity to meet Dan briefly and he was a truly lovely man.
He loved his family and most importantly he loved the Lord. He will be missed. But now he is with Jesus and what a blessing that is. Because we all will see him again.
I love you my friend Francine. ❤️ I am here for you and Tammy and your family always.
We Miss you Dan. I hope you are singing in the Jesus choir. Save me a spot! Love, Brian and Michelle Buxton.
We have so many great memories. The HAD house, roommates. Motorcycle rides, Harvest Temple Singles, then Young Marrieds. Dinners with your parents Fran. Weddings, lots of weddings. TPing the Ellis house, camping and caroling. Dan and Mark doing everything together.
This new season is unexpected and difficult. You have the Lord as Dan has and you will be together with him in Heaven. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I am always here for you.
I’m so deeply sorry for Dan’s passing. My deepest condolences to Fran and her family.
