Michael Dean Amundson

Age 70 of South Saint Paul

Passed away unexpectedly on May 9 th 2025. Preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Doris Amundson; sisters, Mary Amundson and Jennifer Amundson.

Survived by his kids, Joe Amundson (Eli), Jeramy Amundson (Amber), Lisa Amundson (Andy), Tiffany Winfield (Darren) & Theresa Larson (Andy); 17 grandkids, Carlee, Joey, Mikey, Kayla, Matthew, Jason, Anthony, Owen, Emmett, Lillian, Isabel, Evelyn, David, Sarah, Ada, Luke and Mahari; girlfriend, Darla Lange; sister, Debrah Muskopf.

Mike was born and raised in Mondovi WI and later moved to Cottage Grove, MN where he graduated from Park High School. He started his working career at a cable company to support his young family. He found his real passion in window cleaning. Beginning 1991 Mike ran a very successful window cleaning company, where he loved to show off and talk to his customers about his many antique cars. He finally retired in 2018 to live the good life and sold his company to his son, Joe Amundson. To this day Joe and his daughter, Carlee are running his successful legacy. Mike was very proud of this. Mike loved anything antique and he sure loved showing it off, telling stories to family and friends about every new antique he could get his hands on. He also loved his Model A cars. He loved driving those cars anywhere he could. Those things were what made him happy, his smile was contagious when he was in his cool car! This was his true passion and what gave him life. Mike enjoyed spending time with his grandkids either taking them on rides in his COOL Cars or talking antiques and sharing his knowledge with them in his garage. When he talked about the things he collected his eyes would light up and he would just be so happy. Mike was a big fan of his grandson, Joey's baseball, he loved going to his games and loved hearing about all of his great plays. He was very proud of him. Mike loved his family and friends made sure he always hugged you and told you he loved you. His smile and laughter will be greatly missed but we know he will always be with us. Its not goodbye its see you later.
