Muskegon, Michigan

David Wayne Bomers, age 72, of Muskegon, MI passed away on Friday January 19, 2024. He was born on September 13, 1951, in Muskegon, Michigan to Gerald Sr. and Donna (Brace) Bomers.

David attended Muskegon High School and went on to bravely serve his country in the US Marines during the Vietnam War, stationed in Okinawa. Following his miliary service, he dedicated over 20 years of his life as an Equipment Operator in Thermatech at Howmet before retiring.

A proud member of the Whitehall American Legion #69 and the Marine Corp League #703, David was passionate about fostering camaraderie with fellow veterans. He found joy in riding his motorcycles, particularly on journeys with his comrades. His commitment to the veteran community extended beyond rides, as he actively participated in numerous events, cherishing the bonds formed with those who shared similar experiences.

David's love for his family was immeasurable. He cherished spending time with his children and grandchildren, creating lasting memories and passing down the values that defined him. Frequent trips to Seattle were a special joy, where he not only visited his grandkids, but also immersed himself in the culture, food, and sights of the Pacific Northwest. David was also a Disney fanatic, taking his kids to Disney World in the early years, and watching Disney movies with his grandchildren. He even tattooed his chest with Mickey Mouse.

David is survived by his loving children, Holly (Marcus) Rowlette of Seattle, Shawn (Renee) Bomers of Seattle, Brent (Laura) Bomers of Blue Lake Twp., Seth (Ashley Dahms) Bomers; grandchildren, Kalista Rowlette, Mila Rowlette, Isabella Bomers, Shawn Bomers Jr., Wyatt Bomers, Viviana Bomers, Evan Bomers, Cooper Bomers; sister, Julie Dratz; aunts and uncles, Lois (Chuck) Byer, Jack (Marcia) Brace, and Arelene Bromley.

He was preceded in death by his parents, sister, Diane Bomers; brother, Jerry Bomers; brother-in-law Paul Dratz.

A Celebration of Life for David, along with military honors, will be held this summer August 17, 2024 at 2:00 PM at the Veteran's Memorial Park on the causeway, followed by a reception at the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 99.
