Verschelde grew up in Medford before moving to Point Pleasant, where he lived at the time of his death, his obituary says.
A member of Five Alive Bassmasters, Verschelde loved fishing and working on his boat.
Verschelde was also an avid softball player and Scudz Sports teammate, his memorial says.
Above all, Verschelde is remembered for embracing his role as a loving father to his young daughter, Angelina LaChappelle, who was his “greatest joy in life.”
In addition to his daughter, Verschelde leaves behind a brother, Ryan (Amanda); nieces, Payton and Abigail, as well as numerous extended family members and close friends.
Verschelde’s services were held privately.
