Thomas Gunderson
Thomas Warren Gunderson, 71, died peacefully on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, in Cloquet, MN.
Tom was born to Warren and Hannah Gunderson in Bagley, MN. He graduated from Clearbrook High School in 1968 and attended college at Moorehead State. Tom married Linda Molden on August 5, 1972. They had three children, Andrea, Vanessa, and Kyle. Tom was a very talented carpenter and worked in the industry into the 1980s. He built their home in Esko, MN and was always working on the shack in Shevlin, MN. He was always willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed help, and he volunteered his time on many projects. Tom worked with BMA Insurance and then Moose Lake Independent Agency for many years. He helped many with their insurance needs and made many friends along the way. Tom loved the outdoors. His favorite times were driving the Bronco up north to be at the shack with his son and so many friends. He enjoyed fishing at Lake Winnie and taking fishing trips to Canada. He is survived by his devoted wife, Linda, who took amazing care of him for many years after his brain aneurysm; his children, Andrea (Wade) Abrahamson and children Will and Bella, Vanessa (Ryan) Abrahamson and children Aidan, Nadia, and Gunnar, and Kyle (Kai) Gunderson and child Paul – and one on the way; his three sisters, Mary Lee, Robin Olsen, and Terry Gunderson; and many nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, Warren and Hannah Gunderson, and one granddaughter, Olivia Gunderson. Tom’s hope for the future was to see the earth restored to paradise conditions – and we can’t wait to see him there, happy and healthy. Special thanks to REM House on James Street in Cloquet and St. Croix Hospice for making Tom comfortable to the end. The funeral will be held on Zoom at 2:00 Central Standard Time, September 4th, 2021.
