Bob and I coached baseball and football together when our boys were school age. I will always cherish the times we spent together with the group of guys we coached and their families. I coached many teams at different levels and this was truly a special group and in large part is was due to the fact that even though he loved the competition, Bob understood that coaching was about building relationships. He was always upbeat and encouraging with the players. They understood that he cared about them and the young men they were becoming. He was also a man of faith and carried himself in a manner that provided a great example for the boys.
Robert C. "Bob" Lund
June 9, 1959 – November 7, 2025
Bob Lund passed away on November 7, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on June 9, 1959, in St. Paul, MN, to Audrey and Elmer Lund.
Family was everything to Bob. He took so much pride in being a father and grandfather, and he loved watching his kids and grandkids grow up. Seeing them start to share in the traditions he loved brought him endless joy.
An outdoorsman through and through, Bob found peace and purpose in hunting and fishing. He especially loved time up north, and those moments were even more special when he got to share them with his family and friends.
Bob was someone everyone could count on. He had a generous heart, always ready to help, and he cherished the time he spent with close friends. He loved playing cards, especially cribbage, where his humor and friendly competitiveness always came through.
Cooking was another way he showed his love for family and friends. Always with plenty of spices and a flair for making things just the way he liked them, either piping hot or ice-cold.
Bob will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his spirit and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
He is survived by his former wife, Annette Lund and their children Zach, Matt, and Abby; grandchildren Gavin, Garrett, Sawyer, and Emma; and many nieces, nephews, and friends who will always cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Audrey and Elmer Lund, his brother, Brian, and his daughter, Katie.
A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date. The family will share details once plans are finalized.
