One of Grand Rapids' biggest philanthropists, Richard DeVos, died Thursday at the age of 92.

 

A spokesperson said DeVos passed away from complications caused by an infection.  He was surrounded by family as he died peacefully at his home in Ada.

 

Rich DeVos along with his partner Jay Van Andel co-founded Amway. 

 

The DeVos Family's contributions led to the creation of the DeVos Performance Hall in 1980 and the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in 1993 as part of Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital.  Helen DeVos died in 2017.
