Al Masselink, born July 22, 1942, in Blendon Township, and of Holland, MI, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on June 27, 2026, following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Even through his struggles, Al never complained and always put others first, especially his family. He was a man of unwavering faith, gentle and caring, a great listener, and someone who quietly served those around him with love and compassion.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 59 years, Barbara Masselink; his children, Dave and DuAnne Masselink (their children: Samantha, Brett, and Jersey; great-grandchildren: Tia and Jaymison), Dwayne and Deborah Masselink (their children: Austin, Peyton, and Sawyer), Darin and Kellie Masselink, and Denice and Scott Burgess (their children: Alexa, Carson, Davis and Lucy). He is also survived by his siblings, Judy and Gary Boetsma, and Harley and Carol Masselink.
Al was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Dorothy Masselink, and his in-laws, Henry and Jennie Fleser.
A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 2, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Christ Memorial Church, 595 Graafschap Road in Holland, with a luncheon immediately following the service. Reverend Bill Boersma will be officiating. Burial will be in Graafschap Cemetery.
A livestream link will be available for those unable to attend.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Christ Memorial Church, Faith Hospice Circle of Faith, or Samaritan’s Purse.
Al’s greatest legacy was his faith in Jesus Christ and the love he shared with his family and everyone blessed to know him. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
