Phillip Lund

LUND PHILLIP DON LUND, beloved husband of Danna Lund of Lethbridge, passed away on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at Chinook Regional Hospital, at the age of 76 years. He is also the loving father of three daughters: Vicki Lund of Lethbridge, Lorrie (Eric) Guilbert of Lethbridge and Krishell Patten of Spruce Grove. He has six Grandchildren and two Great Grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Cameron Lund and numerous nieces and nephews. Phil was predeceased by his parents Andy and Fran Lund and a brother Marty Lund. Phillip was born December 20, 1937 in Raymond, Alberta. He was raised on his parents' farm on the Milk River Ridge. His education began in the one room Mammoth school house. He graduated from Olds College and received the Aluminium Co. of Canada scholarship in irrigation technology. He followed family traditions by becoming a rodeo cowboy and making a living in agriculture. His interest in agriculture was fuelled by a lifelong love of nature. Phil's hobbies included hiking, fishing, hunting and gardening, all things that allowed him time outdoors. A high point of his life was carrying the torch in the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Olympics. Phillip always said his most significant accomplishment was "sharing my life with my best friend and love of my life and raising three loving and well educated daughters." A special thank you to the doctors and nurses of the ICU and Unit 3-C of CRH for their compassion in caring for our beloved husband and father.
