Kenneth George Lindquist

January 15, 1953 – April 22, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenneth George Lindquist, age 73, of Thief River Falls, Minnesota, who passed away on April 22, 2026, at HIA Heather’s House, Fargo, ND. Kenny was born to Ame and Esther (Johnson) Lindquist, in Thief River Falls, where he grew up and graduated from high school. Kenny began his career working in the produce department at Hartz Foods, where he was known for his strong work ethic and friendly nature. He married Janet Kay Alnes, on September 10, 1977. Together they built a life centered on family, hard work, and love. Kenny later returned to school and worked as an electrician until retiring.

He had a passion for the outdoors—hunting and fishing were a way of life. Whether in the woods or out on the water, that’s where he felt most at home. But more than anything, Kenny will be remembered as an incredible dad. He always made time for his girls, whether it was playing games, laughing together, or organizing neighborhood games of bat and ball with all the kids.

Kenny was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend. He will be dearly missed.

Ken is survived by his daughters, Wendy (Adam) Nordin, Jenny Lindquist; grandchildren, Talan and Eli Lindquist, Wylie Nordin, and Damien Abrahamsen; sister, Carol (Delaine) Johnson; and brother-in-law, David Alnes.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Janet; parents, Ame and Esther; and sister, Janet Dailey.

Visitation will be Wednesday, April 29, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 AM, at Zion Lutheran Church, Thief River Falls, MN.

Interment will be at Greenwood Cemetery, Thief River Falls, MN.
