Kenneth L. Pugh, 82, of North Muskegon, passed away, August 22, 2026.

Ken proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps (1963-67). That experience instilled in him the discipline, honor, and strength he carried for the rest of his life. That same sense of duty guided him as a Deputy with the Muskegon County Sheriff's Department. He then pursued a career in real estate until his retirement.

An avid outdoors man, Ken cherished everything Michigan had to offer, from its lakes and woods to its changing seasons. He was happiest fishing, hunting, or out on the golf course. He was a devoted fan of the MSU Spartans, Lions, Tigers, and any team his grandsons played on. Ken also had a wonderful sense of humor and a natural knack for conversations. Never one to meet a stranger, he could talk to anyone and always knew how to bring a smile to those around him.

He leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Pam, two daughters, Heather (Marcel) and Kelly (Matthew), grandsons, Riley, Jake, and Sam; brother, Norm Pugh (Jeanne); sister-in-law, Martha Carlson; nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother-in-law, Randy Carlson.

The family is deeply grateful to Ken’s many friends and neighbors for their support and comfort. A special thank you to Harbor Hospice for their care during his journey, and to his niece Julie and husband Tim.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Harbor Hospice or the Noah Project....

July 21, 1965 – February 22, 2026

Daniel Crittendon, affectionately known by many as “Critter,” passed away on February 22, 2026, at the age of 60. Born on July 21, 1965, Daniel lived a life full of creativity, adventure, hard work, and an unwavering willingness to help those around him.

Daniel was the son of Daniel Osterhout, half-brother of David Osterhout, nephew of Jim Osterhout, and beloved father of Jacob Crittendon.

Critter was a true jack-of-all-trades mechanic. There was very little he couldn’t figure out, fix, build, or create. He had an incredible imagination and was an absolute dreamer when it came to making cool things. If he could imagine it, he would find a way to bring it to life.

He had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed fishing, hunting, and spending time outside. Those adventures gave him some of his happiest moments and countless memories that will live on with those who shared them with him.

One of Critter’s greatest companions was his best friend, Stella, his beloved German Shepherd. Stella was by his side for the last six years of his life, faithfully accompanying him through the everyday moments, adventures, and quiet times they shared together.

A special thank you to Joel for being there for Dan and for giving him a true friend during the last two years of his life. The friendship Dan was given during that time meant more than words can express, and it will always be remembered with gratitude.

When he wasn’t...
