Thomas Lendt

Thomas Lendt passed on Thursday, March 9th at the age of 61 after a long battle with cancer. Tom was preceded in death by his parents, David and Alice Lendt, and was survived by his wife, Traci Lendt, and his sisters Stephanie Lendt and Sally (Dan) Anderson.

For many years, Tom served as the shop teacher for the Saydel High School district where he formed life-long friendships with both students and faculty. After he retired from teaching, he became a valet for Methodist hospital, enjoying the combination of parking cars and greeting people as they entered the facility. Later on in life, Tom started a new job transporting medication to area pharmacies.

Tom enjoyed annual vacation trips to the Florida Keys with his wife and when not on the beach with a drink in his hand, he could be found out in his garage fixing up old machinery and restoring ancient equipment to life. Tom adored his family and friends and could always be counted on to share a story from his life, even with people who were strangers just moments before.

Tom was cremated and a celebration of life for friends and family will be arranged for a later date.
