David Lindstrom Obituary

In Memory of David Howard Lindstrom On January 14, 2019, David died at the age of 84 years. He is survived by his wife of 64 years, Dorala (Sadler) Lindstrom, his son Michael Lindstrom (Brenda), daughter, Debi De Bin, 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandsons. David was predeceased by daughter, Diane Lindstrom. David was born in 1934 in Santa Rosa, California and he married Dorala in 1954. David's passion for music began at an early age and continued throughout his life. While in California, he received a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Education, and then earned his Masters in Vocal Performance in 1962. In 1968, David was invited to initiate the music program and also teach music at the new Prince George Secondary High School. Upon his acceptance of this position, the family moved from California to Prince George, BC, in 1969. After Prince George Secondary School, he taught Music and Social Studies at Lakewood Junior Secondary School for many years. His prolific music career included setting up the music program for School District # 57, assuming leadership of the Prince George Cantata Singers, taking part in a wide variety of musical performances, and supporting and participating in many musical endeavours throughout the region. His teaching career spanned 41 years. Through it all, his faith and personal relationship with God was the foundation of his life. A Celebration of God's faithfulness as He walked beside David, will take place February 4, 2019 @ 2PM at Fort George Baptist Church - 1600 Johnson Street, Prince George, BC.

My condolences to the lindstrom family. I was a neighbor, lived right next door to the Lindstrom's for oh I am guessing here about 10 years! I remember the family coming by I believe it was always Christmas Eve with a plate of homemade goodies and they would sing a Christmas song!! Mr. Lindstrom would always be leading his family!!!
May peace be with you and your family

What a musical celebration of life it will be. He will now be singing with the angels in God's choir. A big impact on my life and family. He sang the Holy City at Dave's mother's celebration. What a guy.

So sad to hear of David's passing. I'm fortunate to have had his choral and vocal solo coaching in high school. I've often thought that it was an amazing opportunity to work with him not only because of his musical expertise but ability to encourage us northern kids to get out and make our way into the musical world. The Prince George artistic community is so fortunate to have had his musical skills and early vision.

Dave warmly welcomed me at the last minute to do my student teaching with him after my initial posting failed to materialize. That was 35 years ago yet his generosity and thoughtfulness are still fresh in my mind.

Mr. Lindstrom was my socials studies teacher while I attended Lakewood Junior. He was a great, patient and kind teacher. He also kept in touch with me where I work. He always asked how my children and I were and never left without a kind word and a hug. I have always looked up to Mr. Lindstrom for his kindness. I am grateful to have known him. My heart felt condolences to Dorala, their family and friends. He will be missed.

Dave was what Prince George really needed int he 1970s. His extraordinary talents as a musician, a leader and a director were welcomed with enthusiasm. He will be missed, but also fondly remembered.

Mr. Lindstrom was my band teacher in 1968. He was the first band teacher to let us play modern music and tap our feet while playing instruments! Fond memories.
