Eric Neil Lindenau Jr.

1995 - 2024

Eric Neil Lindenau Jr., 29, of Scottville, passed away on Sunday, April 14, 2024.
Eric was born on January 26, 1995, the son of Eric and Lacy (Zay) Lindenau. He graduated
from Lighthouse Baptist Academy in 2013. Shortly after graduation he attended Pensacola
Christian College. On August 24, 2019, he married his forever love, Willow (Cort) Lindenau.
Eric, lovingly known as Tuna, and Little E, was a devoted member of Lighthouse Baptist Church.
He was a man of many talents, and those abilities were often used to help others. From
construction projects to vehicle repairs to painting, Tuna found great satisfaction in using his
talents to help someone else succeed.
Eric was unapologetically proud to be an American, a vocal supporter of the 2nd amendment,
and an avid outdoorsman. Eric inherited his love for hunting from his father, and the two of them
would spend much of October and November together scouting and hunting.
While sports, hunting, fishing, and grilling were all passions of Tuna's, none of them could rival
the love and devotion Tuna had for his family. Tuna was a loving and compassionate husband,
son, brother, uncle, and friend. His wife Willow was the love of his life, and he took immense
pride in the amazing transformation they had accomplished on their home in Scottville.
Eric had a large and diverse family. It didn't matter your last name, your skin color, your age, or
any other descriptive; if Tuna called you family, you were family forever.
Eric had a love for Jesus, and much of his life was spent investing in the next generation
through the ministry of Lighthouse Baptist Church. From teaching children's classes to working
in the youth ministry, Eric impacted countless lives for Christ.
Few individuals have accomplished as much as Eric did in his 29 years, and he was
undoubtedly welcomed home by his Heavenly Father with the words "Well done, my good and
faithful servant."
Eric is survived by his wife, Willow Lindenau; parents, Lacy, and Eric Lindenau; sister, Brooke
(Isaiah) Ramos and their son, Bodhi; uncles, Jim (Michelle) Lindenau, and Jason (Marsha)
Warren; cousins, Scott (Heather) Stadler, Justyce (Jared) Johnson, and Deavon Stadler.
Eric was preceded in death by his grandma, Joyce Warren; aunts, Janet Wilson, and Josie
Lindenau; and grandpa, Robert Zay.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, April 20, 2024, at Lighthouse Baptist Church in
Hamlin Twp., at 11am. Visitation begins at 9:30am at the church.
