Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m. Thursday, and one hour prior to the service Friday, both at the church. Parish prayers will be at 4 p.m. Thursday. Robert Edmund Lenzmeier was born Dec. 19, 1962, to Mickey and Carol (Laudenbach) Lenzmeier. Bob was raised on his parents’ dairy farm north of Kimball. He graduated from Apollo High School in 1984. Bob worked very hard on the farm, and his work ethic and dedication was the main reason his parents could continue to farm for so long. Bob loved the animals on the farm, especially the cows and dogs. After leaving the farm, Bob lived in St. Cloud for a period of time before moving to Staples in 2005. He moved to Brainerd in January 2019. Bob was employed by Wacosa Inc., Browerville DAC, LEO in Pillager, and Employment Enterprises Inc. in Little Falls. Among the things he enjoyed most were going to the Dairy Queen, and his mom’s homemade bread.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents, sister LuAnn Lenzmeier, and niece Jordan Lenzmeier.
He is survived by his siblings Lois Lenzmeier of Pleasant Lake, Louis Lenzmeier of Plymouth, Linda (and Bob) Kunkel of Pearl Lake, Michael (and Bonnie) Lenzmeier of St. Cloud, Mary (and Greg) Mueller of Pearl Lake, Joseph (and Coreen) Lenzmeier of Crystal, and David (and Frankie) Lenzmeier of Minneapolis; nephews Justin and Mitchell Kunkel, Jake, Andy, Alex, Austin, and McEwen Lenzmeier; nieces Hannah Kunkel, Grace, Abby, Sophia, Gabriella, and Arabella Lenzmeier.
Memorials are preferred to Employment Enterprises Inc. and/or Wacosa Inc. Arrangements were entrusted to Dingmann Funeral Care Burial & Cremation Services.
Bob’s family wishes to thank all of his wonderful caregivers through the years, specifically at REM-Stephens Way in St. Cloud, Oakwood Terrace in Staples, and Clark Lake Homes in Brainerd.
