Help Us Bring Our Beloved Father Home

Help Us Bring Big Bob Home ️

On June 19th, 2025, my beloved father—affectionately known as Big Bob—took his final breath after a courageous 7-day battle in a thyroid coma. His passing has left a profound emptiness in our hearts, but his memory lives on in every life he touched.

Big Bob wasn’t just my dad—he was a husband of over 40 years to my mom, Barb. He was a grandfather, a brother, and a friend. He was a father figure to many who didn’t have one. He was a man of wisdom, compassion, and quiet strength. If you ever had the honor of meeting him, you know—his presence was unforgettable.

Due to the critical nature of his condition, he was airlifted from Lake of the Woods to Bemidji, Minnesota. In the wake of his passing, our family is now facing a significant financial burden, including an unexpected cremation bill and the cost to bring him back home to rest.

We are humbly asking for your help. Every donation—no matter how small—will go directly toward funeral and transportation expenses so we can honor my father’s final wishes with dignity.

If you cannot give, we ask that you please share this with someone who may be able to help. Your prayers, support, and love mean more to us than words can express.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us bring our father home. We miss him more than we can say, but we’re comforted knowing he was—and always will be—deeply loved.

With gratitude,

Robert “Bob” Lund II
