Mr. Michael Gene “Mike” Lindblad, son of Patricia Lindblad and the late Larry Lindblad, passed away on December 31, 2022.
Mike was born on July 12, 1963 in Paducah, Kentucky and attended the public schools of McCracken County and later proceeded to compete his GED. At an early age, he joined his fathers business, Lindblad & Associates, to pursue his life-long career as a HVAC Technician. After closing their doors, that did not stop him. Mike continued to use his skills to help those in need following his retirement.
Mike first fell in love with Shannon Rhea “Tinker” in the summer of 1982. They welcomed their baby girl, Michelle Rhea Lindblad, in December of ‘82. Tinker unexpected passed away in 1984. He then fell in love for Sherry Kennedy. They were married in 1985 and shortly after, greeted their son, Michael Scott Lindblad, in November of ‘85. Mike then did something a lot of men would not. He helped raise a son that was not his but treated him as such. Dustin Lindblad became his son in August of ‘88.
Last, but certainly not least, Mike met Julie Henson. Later arrived their first daughter, Brittney Nichole Lindblad, on July 20, 1993. Julie then made the decision on surprise marrying Mike in Keys West, Florida in 1995. Their lives were peaceful until trouble come along. Rayanne Marie Lindblad, made her appearance on March 26, 2001.
Mike was a devoted father and grandfather. He enjoyed hunting and dirt bike racing. He spent very many years of his life racing competitively and won an exceptional amount of trophies, medals, and certificates. In his spare time, you would find him at the family farm hunting with his kids or jamming out to country music while reorganizing the house. His “class clown” energy was always a part of him and never stopped until you were laughing.
He is survived by: his mother, Pattie of Paducah, Kentucky; his sister Laura and her children Chad Martin and Leah Dandy; his daughter, Michelle and her children Jade and Chance Spears and David “Pooter” Crenshaw of Paducah, Kentucky; his sons, Scotty and Dustin Lindblad of Paducah, Kentucky; his daughter, Brittney and her children Raleigh Struble and Paul and Billy Ford of Paducah, Kentucky; and his youngest daughter, Rayanne Lindblad of Murphysboro, Illinois.
He was preceded in death by: his wife, Julie Lindblad; his father, Larry Lindblad; and his uncle, Jackie Lindblad.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 2pm at Morrow Funeral Chapel in LaCenter, Kentucky. Memorial donations may be made to Rayanne Lindblad.
