Lyle Herbert Hokanson
Lyle Herbert Hokanson, 74, of Vermontville, a man who could fix anything and 
would help anybody, died Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at his home.

Lyle was born January 29, 1947 in Hastings, the son of Hale Duane and Arline 
Inez (Howe) Hokanson. He graduated from Maple Valley High School in 1966 before 
serving in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. Upon his return home he married 
his lifelong love, Mary Margaret Coppess on May 25, 1968.

Lyle worked 35 years at General Motors, retiring as a Project Manager in 2001.

Throughout his life, Lyle enjoyed woodworking, a skill he used in renovating 
several apartments in Grand Rapids. He loved time spent in the outdoors hunting, 
fishing and gardening. He was an avid gun collector. Many will remember his 
perfectionist nature, and his kindness to all who knew him.

Lyle is survived by his wife of 53 years, Mary Hokanson;, son, Jay (Jennifer) 
Hokanson; daughter, Erin (Justin) Campbell; 10 grandchildren, Jack, Joe, Jacob, 
Jon, Josh, Jana and Julia Hokanson, and Elijah, Alexander, and live Campbell; 3
