Lonnie Lee Mundt, 47, of Hershey passed away May 12, 2018 at Great Plains Health.

Lonnie was born on February 23, 1971 in Hastings, NE to Larry and Marietta (Redinger) Mundt.  Lonnie attended Sandy Creek High School and then moved to Ord in 1985, graduating with the Ord High School class of 1989.  He worked at Mormack in North Loup, worked as a drywaller, and construction around the Ord area.  On July 8, 1995 he married Tara Timmerman in Ord.  The couple lived in Grand Island where Lonnie worked as a welder at New Holland.  Lonnie and Tara then went on the road working industrial construction from 1996 – 2007.  In 2007, the family moved to their home at Hershey.  He continued on the road as a commercial welder all over the country.

Baptized into Christ on Easter Sunday by his father in the Little Blue River in 1983, Lonnie trusted in the Lord and his faith was his sustainer.  He loved being a husband and father who would do anything for his family and friends. He was very close to his parents.   Lonnie loved to fish and hunt and will be remembered for his strong handshake and hugs.
