Jim Lundquist Obituary
Spirit Lake
A memorial gathering for Jim Lundquist, age 79, of Spirit Lake, will be held Sunday, November 5, 2017 from 2:00-4:00 PM at Turner Jenness Funeral Home in Spirit Lake.
Jim Lundquist was born in 1938 in Cherokee, Iowa to Raymond and Helga (Swanson) Lundquist and died November 2, 2017 in Spirit Lake, Iowa. He graduated from Buena Vista College where he was a member of the Delta Phi Pho fraternity. He and his wife lived in Van Meter and St. Charles before moving to Rock Rapids, Iowa. After retiring, they moved to Spirit Lake where their motto was "in, on or by the water all the time."
Jim valued four things above all others: family, pheasants, fishing and friends. His grandchildren were especially precious to him.
Jim is survived by his wife, Rosie Lundquist; daughter Jamie and her husband, Stewart Mattson and their children, Alex and Lindsey of Naperville, Illinois; son Jeff and his wife Devi and their children, Jeff and Sonja of The Woodlands; brother Loren and his wife Lynn; sister, Doreen and her husband Marlon Todd. His love of family included his cousins, nieces and nephews, and longtime friends who were like family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Spirit Lake Protective Association, Hope Lodge of the American Cancer Society, or the St. Charles Lions Club.
Turner Jenness Funeral Home in Spirit Lake is in charge of arrangements.
