Lindstrom Fire Department has announced funeral arrangements following the passing of firefighter Mike Gaustad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is with great sadness that we\nannounce the passing of MICHAEL ALLEN GAUSTAD,\n<\/strong>age 49, on February 22nd due to complications following a\ndouble lung transplant. He fought fiercely for 5 long months. Mike was born on\nAugust 14, 1970 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Allen and Gail Gaustad. They\nreturned back to Minnesota to be close to family. He graduated from Chisago\nLakes High School, class of 1988. He pursued a career in radio broadcasting,\ncarpentry and construction, until he discovered his passion in being a fireman\nand working at Rosenbauer where firetrucks are designed and manufactured. Mike\nwas a 20-year volunteer fireman for the Lindstrom Fire Department and was\nAssistant Chief for several years until his lung disease took him out of\naction. Mike was a selfless and giving first responder and an asset to our\ncommunity. Mike loved hunting and fishing, making people laugh, BBQing and\ncooking with friends and family, riding his Harley, feeding and watching the\nbirds and gardening. He was a wonderful and loving father who was so proud of\nhis children and he will be forever missed by them most of all. He is preceded\nin death by his paternal grandparents Marguerite and Allen Gaustad, and\nmaternal grandparents John and Mary Stickney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is survived by his children Marilyn, Grace, Gabe and\ntheir mother Sarah, his daughter Claire and her mother Karen, his parents Allen\nand Gail, his aunts Marty Jackson and Marykay Harris, and many special and dear\nfriends and loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
