Jeffrey Werner Lund

Jeffrey Werner Lund - Jeff to almost everyone who knew him - passed away on September 1, 2026, just two days shy of his 76th birthday. He was born September 3, 1950, in Bertha, MN. Jeff was a devoted husband and loving father. He had a mathematician's mind and a salesman's heart, a combination that served him well for over five decades. After earning his degree in mathematics from St. Cloud State University, he built a career first in medical supplies sales, then in long-term care insurance, an industry he loved enough to still be working in until the day he died. That was Jeff: steady, dependable, and never one to slow down. Off the clock, he was just as much in motion. In his younger years you could usually find him on the tennis court, more often than not with one of his kids or wife across the net, or in the backyard playing catch until the sun went down. Later in life, golf took over, not just a hobby but something closer to a calling, complete with all the joy, frustration, and stubborn optimism that comes with chasing a good round. But if you ask the people who loved him, none of that is really what defined Jeff. What defined him was showing up. He was the guy you called when things went sideways, the one who didn't make a big deal out of helping. He just did it. Steady, generous, and quietly there for the people who needed him, exactly when they needed him. Jeff is survived by his wife of 43 years, Karla Jo Jacobson Lund; his ex-wife, Theresa Ida Nuernberg Lund; his son, Eric Max Lund, and daughter-in-law, Erin Rebecca Lund; his daughter, Nicole Renee Lund, and son-in-law, John Carter Woollen; his daughter, Molly Jo Stedham, and son-in-law, Reid Robert Nelson; and his grandchildren, Calvin Paul Lund (24), Emelia Winslow Lund (22), Kayla Jo Zabel (24), Jared Jaxon Stedham (20), and Henry Carter Woollen (6), all of whom he loved and adored. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Werner Lund; his mother, Renee Josephine Rachow Lund Jelinek; and his daughter, Laura Catherine Lund. He will be missed every single day by everyone lucky enough to have known him. A service will be held on Friday, September 25, 2026, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Washburn-McReavy Werness Brothers Chapel, 2300 W Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN 55431. www.washburn-mcreavy.com Werness Brothers Bloomington Chapel 952-884-8145
