Humorous & Heartfelt Stories from Hospice Volunteer & Author Dave Kampfschulte

Join us for a thoughtful evening with hospice volunteer and author Dave Kampfschulte, who brings more than 38 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families at the end of life. With empathy, humor, and deep humanity, Dave shares stories that range from the surprising to the deeply moving—offering insights into a subject many of us avoid but all of us eventually face.

Through real conversations gathered over decades, Dave helps us see how others have navigated difficult choices, found moments of connection, and faced the unknown. You may leave with new understanding… and maybe even a bit of comfort.

Dave Kampfschulte is Director of Amazing Circles Workshops, a nationally known speaker, and author of I’m Dying to Talk with You: Twenty-Five Years of Conversations on End-of-Life Decisions. With over 45 years as an educator, he leads interactive, engaging programs for both professionals and the general public. Dave holds a Master’s in Education, teaches with Aquinas College’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), and is a longtime hospice volunteer as well as a past recipient of the East Grand Rapids Schools Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award.
