Phillip B. Lundsten

Phillip B. Lundsten, 61, of Hawley, MN, died January 28, 2024 at Sanford Health Medical Center in Fargo, ND. 

Phillip Bradley Lundsten was born in Cambridge, MN on October 31, 1962, to Irene & Arnie Lundsten.  The family relocated to Hawley, MN in 1964, where Phil spent the remainder of his childhood.

Upon his high school graduation, he packed up his belongings and headed for “the Cities”.  Shortly thereafter, he started working at St. Therese Nursing Home where he made many lifelong friends and embarked on his culinary career.  After many years in the food industry, Phil worked the opposite end of the food chain, becoming a driver for various sanitation companies.

In 1994, he married Becky Graffunder, and they had two beautiful girls whom he dearly loved.

Phil had an enormous heart and a great sense of humor.  Second only to the love of his daughters and family was Phil’s love of music and cooking.
