Our beloved Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Brother and Uncle, Gerald D. Lundt, entered into eternal rest on November 28, 2021. He was surrounded by his family as he passed into the loving arms of his savior Jesus Christ. Gerald was born in North Dakota in 1942, and moved to Longview, WA at the age of five. Gerald graduated from RA Long High School in 1960. Upon graduating he joined the military which took him around the world, he would eventually retire from the military with 24 years, 1 month and 2 days of service in a combination of Active and Reserve enlistment. Gerald held a long career with the State of Washington in two departments as a computer programmer which ended in 1998 to enter retirement and partake in part-time work as a school bus driver.
Gerald lived the majority of his life in Olympia, WA, where he was active in the Moose Faternity, Eagles, VFW and Boy Scouts. Gerald was always quick to lend a hand to anyone in need. Gerald and his life partner Faye White moved to Spokane 10 years ago to help raise their grandchildren. "Pa-ka" or "Pa" never missed an event and drove many miles to see all the grandkids within the state. He enjoyed camping, sailing, loved western movies, Boy Scouting and dancing. He enjoyed sharing his love of his children, grandchildren and new great grandchild. His loss will be felt far and wide from his church, to the Eagles, to his children, and mostly his grandchildren. We will all miss him more than words can express but rejoice knowing he is with his savior. The life of Gerald D Lundt could be summarized into two closely held convictions; he was a patriot and servant of the Lord.
Gerald is preceded in death by his parents Herbert and Esther Lundt of Longview, WA. He is survived by his partner Faye White; children Paula (JJ) Moore, Oliver (Beth) Lundt, Marc (Erin) Lundt; grandchildren Micheala, Andria, Michael, Dean, Teddy, Henry, Macey, Hilty, Myles and great grandchild Atlas; brother Orvin (Shirley) Lundt, sisters Karen Franko (preceded in death by Tom Franko), Anna (Steve) Platt and many nieces and nephews.
There will be a military graveside service in Colfax, WA on Tuesday December 14th at 10:30 am. Followed by a celebration of life at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Spokane Valley at 2:00 pm, all are invited to attend.
In lieu of flowers Gerald requested you send donations to your local hospice.
