Robert D. "Bob" Lund
October 02, 2020
Bob Lund, 69, was changed in the twinkling of an eye, peacefully surrounded by his family, and went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on October 2, 2020. He was born April 22, 1951, in Des Moines to Dale and Dorothy (VanDeWal) Lund.
Bob honored the Lord by loving and leading his family. He truly was the family patriarch and his legacy lives on through his wife, children and grandchildren. Bob loved nothing more than spending time with the Lord and his family. This amazing man of God loved farming and retired from selling Pioneer Seed Corn after 38 years.
He is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Cathy; children, Becky and Chad Doubleday and Carrie and Jason Viel; grandchildren, Abby and Emily Doubleday and Connor and Cody Viel; and sisters, Diane (Kent) Kroeger and Carole Lund -Smith.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents.
A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at 3:00 pm on Friday, October 9, 2020, at First Family Church, 317 SE Magazine Rd, Ankeny.
Memorials may be directed to First Family Church Missions and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. I have memories that go back to grade school in Sheldahl and then on to junior high and high school at North Polk in Alleman. He was always a leader and a man of character. May God's peace overwhelm you all in the coming days.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He had a quite greatness about him and it was obvious that it came from his faith. He was without a doubt powered by the Holy Spirit! I had the pleasure of being a sales rep for Pioneer at the same time as Bob and always made it a point to check in with him at any meeting we were both at. The world's loss is definitely heaven's gain. Both Cindy and I pray for the family he left here on earth.
