Lars Willard Lund


Lars Willard Lund 1979 ~ 2010 Died Wednesday, February 3, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born April 4, 1979 in Galveston, Texas. Parents Howard Willard Lund and Janine Miller Lund. Survived by parents; his brothers Dedrick Jens Lund, Niels Stenvor Lund, Hans Peter Russell Lund; grandmother Gayle Miller; uncle Robert Miller; nieces and nephew Rebecca Lund, Aidan Lund and Kaliska Lund; cousins David T. Miller, Marisa Miller, Madeline Miller, Gavin Miller, Amanda Miller, Zachary Miller, Samuel Miller, Joseph Miller. Lars was articulate, perceptive, thoughtful, competitive, caring and intelligent. Climbing, skiing, mountain biking, judo, pottery and drawing were among the activities he enjoyed. He loved science, especially physics, also anthropology and history. He attended Weber State University and Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas. He worked hard. He did railroad repair all over northern Utah in his early 20s and in recent years worked in cable communications in Phoenix, Arizona and in Salt Lake City, Utah. Lars took tender care of his Grandpa Lund through his decline and death from Alzheimer's. Pain from Crohn's disease and the lesions from hidradenitis suppurativia were Lars' constant companion and limited many pursuits. He did not allow them to stop his personal education and intellectual growth. He was a valued friend to so many of us.

He seemed like a really nice person. Just an fyi, he shared the same birthday as Phoenix and died on David's birthday. Thought that was sort of interesting. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
