Michael Carl Lindgren, age 65, passed away on July 2, 2020 after a brave battle with brain cancer. Michael was born on June 17, 1955 in Monmouth, IL. He lived his youth as a “Navy Brat”, living in Washington D.C., Hawaii, Japan and finally settled in Houston, TX. When Mike and Elaine met, they knew they were meant to be together and were married on December 31, 1996. Their love for each other grew deeper with each day and recently renewed their wedding vows. Mike was a skilled machinist and manufacturing engineer and in 2007 he became a partner in his own Machine Shop, Omnimetics.

Mike loved to be out on the bay fishing but loved even more teaching and watching others fish. He was always the one to tie on a new hook or take a fish off of a line. He also loved to play the guitar, spend the day on the golf course or spend a weekend with the guys at the camp. He was a good son to his parents, always making sure to call his Mother every day. Mike was always fun to be around and was loved by many.

Mike had a strong faith in God. He also had a huge respect for our Military, as his father was career Navy and his son Steven served as a Marine and grandson Jonathon is currently serving in the Marines.

Due to COVID, only a small service with immediate family will be held at the cemetery.

Those who so desire may make a memorial donation in memory of Mike Lindgren to St. John Lutheran Church, 6605 Old Independence Rd., Brenham, TX 77833
