Dennis Lund Obituary
Dennis Glen Lund, age 87, passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Dennis was born on September 9, 1937, to William and Clara (VanSickle) Lund in Alexandria. He graduated from Brandon High School in 1955. Dennis grew up attending the Calvary Covenant Church in Evansville.
Dennis was united in marriage to Colleen Rossum in 1958, and they lived on the family farm north of Brandon. They had six children and also fostered children for many years. He was a dairy farmer and worked for Strom Construction as a heavy equipment operator. After retiring from the dairy farm, Dennis developed an interest in the motel industry and eventually owned a couple himself. He loved visiting with the employees and guests.
Dennis enjoyed auctions, gardening, restoring tractors and campers, and spending time with his family. He was a kind, gracious, and humble man who always had a smile on his face and a story to tell.
