Roy Milford Lund

Roy Milford Lund died on October 18, 2014, at Sanford Health in Bismarck, ND, after a sudden stroke. He passed from this world in the presence of his wife and children and was immediately welcomed to his eternal home by his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Services will be held at 10:30 am Wednesday, October 22, at Evangel Assembly of God Church, Bismarck, with Rev. Arlin Dwelle officiating. Burial will be held at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan. Visitation will be held from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Tuesday, October 21, at Eastgate Funeral Service, Bismarck. Roy was born on March 22, 1934, in McIntosh, SD, to Lester and Elizabeth McCay Lund. He was raised on the family farm near Selfridge, ND. He attended a one-room school, including two years during which he was taught by his mother. He graduated from McLaughlin High School South Dakota in 1952. Roy served his country in the Army National Guard from 1958 – 1964 in Missouri and Louisiana. His unit was activated for the Berlin Crisis. Roy was joined in marriage to his best friend and life partner Judy Miller on December 18, 1964, in Bismarck, where they raised their five children. Roy worked nearly his entire life with mobile homes, beginning his career in April 1965, with delivery, set up and maintenance services. He spent the 17 years before retirement as the manager of Tatley Meadows Mobile Home Park, a job he truly enjoyed. Roy was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend to many. He dedicated much of his life to service to the church. He was an inspiration to his children and many others by the way he demonstrated by example the ideals of integrity, commitment, service and caring more about others than himself. Roy is survived by his loving wife of nearly 50 years Judy; his children Keith Michelle Lund of Grand Forks, ND; Wanda Brad Prothero of Sioux City, IA; Susan Eric Johnson of Felton, MN; Randy Becky Lund of Shakopee, MN; and Darin Lund of Seattle, WA; grandchildren, Talia Lund, Bryce and Tyler Prothero, Keegan and Gideon Johnson, Owen and Isaac Lund, and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Robert, Warren, Donald, Harold and Richard; and sisters, Loretta Arp and Audrey Hart-Panko.
