The Bakersfield Californian 
Joshua Wilhelm Reyneveld II
June 17, 1921 - February 10, 2005 

A memorial service will be held for Joshua Wilhelm Reyneveld II at Hillcrest 
Chapel on Tuesday, February 15th, at 10:30 a.m. A viewing will be held on 
Monday, February 14th, from 5 8 p.m.

Joshua Wilhelm was born on June 17, 1921, in Leiden, Netherlands, to Joshua 
and Beatrice Reyneveld. In 1949, he married Evelyn Troost and shortly after, 
he and his new bride immigrated to the United States. They settled in the Los 
Angeles area, where they lived for 2 years. During this time, J.W. worked as a 
dairyman while Evelyn took care of their family which grew to include twelve 
children, two of whom died as infants. In 1971, the family moved to the Arvin 
area and J.W. began to dairy farm which he operated for over 50 years, until 
shortly before his passing. He was well respected and admired in the community 
for his strong work ethic and steadfast principles. 

J.W.s life can be well described by the word devotion. He was devoted to his 
family, his diary, and above all, his Lord. His faith was evident to all those 
who knew him, and a model to those who survive him. His devotion to church, 
scripture, and Christian education attest to his deep love for the Lord.

J.W. is preceded in death by his parents, Joshua and Beatrice; his brothers, 
Nick, Jack, Jacob, John, and Dirk Reyneveld; and two infant children.

He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Reyneveld; his brother, Case Reyneveld of 
Ripon, CA; and his sister, Rita Van Baren; his ten children and their spouses, 
Dan and Ellen Vander Mey, Joshua and Martha Reyneveld, Richard and Vicki 
Reyneveld, Clarence and Lisa Reyneveld, Glenn Reyneveld, Beatrice Reyneveld, 
Buck and Hilda Klein, Janette Slegers, Willy and Kristi Reyneveld, and Kennedy 
Reyneveld; and his 16 grandchildren.

We are comforted by the knowledge that his is home with his Lord and Savior. 
We are thankful for the many years we had with him and the inspiration he was 
to us. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to Bible Study 
Ministries care of Cpl. Clarence Reyneveld, 7302 Melody Lane, Jenison, 
Michigan, 49428.
