David Lindborg

David W. Lindborg, DDS July 30, 1952 - April 15, 2015 NILES - David William Lindborg, DDS, 62, of Niles, Michigan, died Wednesday, April 15, 2015, from a heart attack while working in his woods in Niles, Michigan. David was born July 30, 1952, in South Bend, IN, and was a lifelong resident of the area. He worked as a dentist for 31 years in South Bend. David is survived by his wife of 32 years, Cynthia Kay Lindborg, DDS, of Niles, Michigan; daughter, Allison Kay Lindborg Wilmot, and son-in-law, Robert Wilmot, and their daughter, Lillie Kay Wilmot of Winston-Salem, North Carolina; son, Benjamin David Lindborg, stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia; daughter, Emily Ann Lindborg Yost, and son-in-law, Kurt Yost of Winston-Salem, North Carolina; son, Thomas Daniel Lindborg of Niles, Michigan; his mother, Millicent Lindborg of South Bend, IN; and his brothers and their families: Daniel F. (wife Nancy) Lindborg of South Bend, Indiana; Richard (wife Sally) Lindborg of Francisville, Indiana; and Douglas (wife Nancy Aardema) Lindborg of Chicago, Illinois. He was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Robert Lindborg, DDS. Dave was a very kind, gentle, strong, and devoted husband, father and grandfather, as well as a respected dentist of 31 years. He loved spending time in his woods, cutting trees, mowing grass, and moving rocks with his tractors. Most important to him, though, was time spent with all of his family together. His profound pride in his wife, children, and grandchild was central to his happiness. Dave gave selflessly to all that he loved. His large circle of friends is a testament to his character and sense of humor. He would want nothing more than a hearty toast in his memory, shared amongst close family and friends (preferably a quality German beer around his basement bar). He had plans of living to 120 and had elaborate schemes for the rest of his years. While he died far too young, he died as he would have wanted - at home, in his woods. Family will receive friends from 10 a.m. 2 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at Kaniewski Funeral Home, 3545 N. Bendix Drive, South Bend, IN. Funeral Services will be at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at Kaniewski Funeral Home, South Bend, IN. Burial will follow at Highland Cemetery.
