Michael was born on August 10, 1958 in St. Paul, MN to Eugene and Jean Lindner. He graduated from Cambridge High School in 1976 then went on to pursue a lifelong career in trucking.
Michael enjoyed spending most of his time outdoors. During the summertime if he was not on a boat he could be found over a grill “perfecting” a good steak or taking care of his lawn. He loved to snowmobile and work on projects “fixing” whatever was not working.
Michael had a wonderful sense of humor and could make anyone laugh, even on the hardest days.
Michael is preceded in death by his father Eugene Lindner; mother Jean Lindner (Brettschneider); brother Matthew Lindner.
Michael is survived by his children Erica (Steve) Wilson, Dusty (Jenny) Lindner; grandchildren Landon Wilson, Logan Wilson, Parker Lindner, Preston Lindner; siblings Mark Lindner, Mary (Steve) Lindgren, Melody (Jim) Angell, Megann (Randy) Brown and many other family and friends.
I’m sorry my deepest condolences to you and your family
We are so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and thoughts go out to you and your family.
A dear and treasured friend, the best man in our wedding, and the funniest guy in the room. My first thought when I heard this terrible news was, now that he has joined my husband in heaven, God sure has his hands full. Rest well sweet friend.
Mike, was one of the best friends I ever had. There are so many stories to share all the way back to Junior High School. He is joining one of my other best friends in heaven and will be happy now for ever. I will truly miss you friend.
