Stu was born Dec. 22, 1950, in Galesburg, IL, to Rev. Glenn & Maynette Lindell and lived most of his life in KC. Stu was proud to be a graduate of SM South & K-State. After pitching for K-State from ?71 to ?74, Stu organized men?s softball teams and has enjoyed the fellowship of a ?brood? of softball buddies over the years. For 33 yrs Stu owned & operated numerous properties in south Hyde Park for the purpose of providing safe and affordable housing. The heart and soul of Stu?s life was his love for the Lord, his family, & his friends. Stu never met a person he didn?t like, & he never forgot a name. Stu taught us to value Jesus, family, and friends above all else. The highlight of Stu?s life was his wife and daughter, with whom he shared his heart for the Lord, his passion for sports, and his delight in music.
Stu was preceded in death by his daughter, Brittany Ann. Survivors include Barb, his cherished wife of 25 yrs; his beloved daughter, Brooke; parents, Glenn & Maynette Lindell; sister, Sandie Anderson, and husband, Tom; father & mother-in-law, Verol & Rosemary Bergling; sister-in-law, Bonnie Leitner, and husband, Roger; brother-in-law, Mark Bergling, and wife, Gail; and many nieces & nephews.
