David Lundgren Obituary
Lundgren, David W, loving husband of 63 years and survived by Margaret Ann Lundgren (nee Quinn) and their children, Mark (Randi), Mike (Laura), Robert (Pilar), Paul and John Lundgren; grandchildren, Nicholas (Jack), Chloe, Mads, Clay, Derek (Jordan), Ryan (deceased), Lauren, Logan, Lars, Christina (Bob), Isabella (Chandler), Gabriela (Bailey), Alexis, Frank, Kayla (Kevin), Joseph and Juliana Lundgren; and great-grandchildren Hudson, Everleigh, Logan (deceased) and Tatum. Dave passed peacefully on January 8th, 2025. He was at home, surrounded by family and covered in prayer. Dave was masterful at entertaining his grand and great-grandchildren, always able to make them smile and laugh at every family gathering. He was a devoted and loving spouse, who cared deeply for his family.
Having been a former soccer coach for an international traveling team, and a passionate advocate for the growth of organized soccer in St. Louis, Dave became a Commissioner and Board Member of the St. Louis Soccer Park, helping take it from conception to a fully constructed state-of-the-art sports complex. Dave loved playing baseball, and at one time played on five softball teams and a soccer team!
Dave is an alumnus of the Christian Brothers College, class of 1956. He was a dedicated employee of the St. Louis Post Dispatch for 33 years, playing an important role in ushering-in computerized production. In the two decades plus following his retirement, Dave competed in over 19 marathons, 50 half-marathons, and countless local races. Dave loved being a regular part of the Senior Olympics, winning many competitions and he worked hard to stay in shape.
Dave had a very strong faith and attended mass early every day after his morning run. Dave was an adoring husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and loyal friend, who absolutely treasured going for early morning runs and long fitness walks in Forest Park. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the Forest Park Forever fund (forestparkforever.org/donate).
A celebration of life service will be held at St. Peter's Catholic Church, 243 W Argonne Dr, Kirkwood, MO on March 29th at 11am.
