Everyone here at Cowsmopolitan extends our sympathies to the friends and family of Bryan.
Bryan W. Lund, 55, passed away early Saturday morning, December 31, 2022, at his residence after a lengthy illness. He was born February 11, 1967, in Norwalk, Ohio to Carl and Ruth (Montgomery) Lund. He attended Norwalk, South Central and EHOVE. Bryan graduated from high school in 1985.
He held various jobs, but his main passion was dairy farming. Bryan was a member of Norwalk Alliance Church, Farm Bureau, and the Ohio Holstein Association, District 8. He was a skilled and knowledgeable Holstein showman. He showed two Junior All Americans, was a two-time showmanship champion at the Ohio State Fair and won the Senior Breeder Award for District 8. Bryan had a passion for working with the youth and that led to him being a 4-H advisor for 25 years and being incredibly involved at Norwalk Rec Center. He was an avid sports fan, especially Cleveland Browns and Ohio State Buckeyes. Bryan also enjoyed playing sports, especially mud volleyball, where his “Pure Misery” team won many local championships.
Bryan is survived by his parents, Carl and Ruth (Montgomery) Lund; loving wife, Christina (Harris) Lund, whom he married March 2, 1996; four children, Michael (Brittany) Lund of North Carolina, Allison (Justin) Roth of Bellevue, Courtney Lund of Norwalk, and Matthew Lund of Norwalk; five grandchildren, Izabella, Jayson, Deryk, Rayeanna, and Rielyn; two sisters, Karen (Todd) Pennington of Wauseon and Julie (Dave) Barney of Massachusetts; an uncle, Bill (Deanna) Lund of Norwalk; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and other loving relatives.
Bryan was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Albert and Reva Montgomery; paternal grandparents, William and Mildred Lund; and an uncle, Paul Lund.
