    Jace was born in Sioux Center, Iowa on July 17, 1997 to parents Clark and Bonnie (Ostrem) VanDenBerg. He was baptized, confirmed and a faithful member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Ireton. He graduated from West Sioux High School in 2016 and went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Ag Business at Iowa State University, graduating in 2019. The first two jobs he loved were farming and driving truck for Eisma Express. He continued doing both even after accepting employment at Iowa State Bank right out of college as an Ag Loan Officer. He was truly the Jack of all trades and was always willing to help others. When he was not working, he thrived on spending time with his family and his friends and being part of a brotherhood that no one could really understand except those who were in it. No matter what Jace was doing, he always found a way to smile and to laugh and to share joy with those around him. He was a man of few words but the way he lived his life spoke volumes of his character and integrity. Young and old enjoyed spending time with Jace. His hilarious and sarcastic remarks will never be forgotten!

    Jace is survived by his parents; sister Bailey (Ben) Vant Hul of Hull; grandmothers Ruth VanDenBerg of Ireton and Marie Ostrem of Centerville, SD; aunts and uncles: Bruce (Vickie) VanDenBerg of Sapulpa, OK; Scott (Deb) VanDenBerg of Orange City; Tim VanDenBerg of Ireton; Julie (Gary) Peterson of Beresford, SD; Mark (Sharyn) Ostrem of Wakonda, SD; Angela (Ian) Nichols of Sioux Falls, SD; cousins: Emma (Ben) Bouza of Hawarden; Abby (John) Roesler of Sioux Falls, SD; Jarrod (Melissa) Peterson of Beresford SD; Brandon (Lindsay) Peterson of Centerville, SD; Lindsay (Stephen) Rogers of Irene, SD; Britt (Leah) Ostrem of Centerville, SD; Asten Nichols of Sioux Falls, SD; and little cousins: Norah, Ruby, Kason, Grady, Lincoln, Quinn, Jaylen, Jordyn and Jackson.

    He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Arnie Ostrem and Knobby VanDenBerg.

    Blessed be his memory, never to be forgotten.
