Brian Kindig Obituary
Brian David Kindig
June 25, 1970 - June, 6, 2022
ST. PAIL, MN - Brian David Kindig, 51, of St Pail, MN, passed awey on June, 9, 2022. He was preceded in death by mother, Mary Norton.
Father of precious Skylar (mother - Lisa Eriksson). Beloved son of David Kindig (Margi); brother of Mark Norton Kindig (Sheila) and Laura Kindig Temali (Mihailo). Uncle to Caitlin, Josip, Claire, Julia and Hannah.
He was a generous and curious soul. He had an amazing sense of humor, could make anyone laugh and had a smile that lit up a room. He loved rollerblading, reading, music, art, poetry and film. He was a talented chef and loved sharing food with others. He helped many people during their journey of recovery while managing sober houses in St. Paul and as a member of various AA groups. Brian battled, overcame but ultimately succumbed to addiction and mental health challenges.
The family wants to express their appreciation to Lisa, Roger and Ian of Merciful Recovery Services, Union Gospel Mission, Lutheran Social Services, Officer Justin Tiffany and the St. Paul Police Mental Health Unit, and countless other friends and professionals who cared about him along his journey.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to any organization supporting those with addiction and mental health disorders.

Brian, rest in peace, my friend. I am so sorry for just now reaching out when in many ways it is too late. I hope your family is able to find peace. You are a wonderful person and I can´t tell you how sorry I am for disappearing due to my own struggles. You were always there for me when I needed it, and wish I could say the same. Rest easy, Brian, you will be greatly missed.
