The Lund family will be having a graveside memorial service, open to all, on Saturday, Nov. 20, at 3 p.m. at the Blair Cemetery. The Blair VFW will be on site to present the Honor Guard.

Mark Lund was born Nov. 7, 1950, in Lincoln to Russell and Marcelyn (Rexroth) Lund. The family moved to Harlan, Iowa, where Mark grew up. After graduating from Harlan High School, Mark enlisted in the Navy. His tour of duty took him to California and Florida where he served in the U.S. Navy from 1970-1980. After his two tours and reserve duty in the Navy, Mark continued his education in computer programming. Mark accepted a position with the USPS and finished out his federal service with the IRS, retiring in 2013 after 22 years of service. Mark moved back to Blair for several years to provide care for his aging mother. In 2018, Mark settled in Farragut, Iowa, where he enjoyed rehabbing and gardening around his home and property. Most of all, Mark loved spending time and doing activities with his children and his grandchildren.

Mark is survived by his four daughters, Michelle and her husband Scott Kilmer of Exira, Iowa, Lisa Nuno of Bolingbrook, Ill., Sarina Lund of West Springfield, Mass., and Brenda Lund of Farragut, Iowa; 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; one brother, Richard and wife Cyndi Lund of Menomonie, Wis.; one sister, Julie Saldana of Murrieta, Calif.; three nieces, two nephews and many cousins.

The family will be gathering at Fernando’s restaurant in Blair following the service. Memorials should be directed to the Blair VFW.
