Daniel M. Sunder

Born in St. Peter, MN, January 5, 1956, and passed away peacefully on March 7, 2014. Preceded in death by parents Leonard and Josephine Sunder and granddaughter, Lanaia Shumpert. Loved and forever missed by wife, Kathy Sunder; daughter, Kelly (Nick) Anderson; step-daughter, Kendra Kimlinger; grandchildren, Ashley, Emily and Zeke; sister, Rita (Rick) Zitterman; brother, Jim (Carrie) Sunder and children Luke and Joey; many other nieces and nephews; in-laws Rosemary and Gene Gaylord; and many friends. Dan loved spending time at the family cabin near Longville, MN. Dan loved the sound of the brook near his deer stand as it cascaded over the many one foot stair way drops creating many miniature waterfalls. Dan also loved honesty, compassion, the many calls of the loon, snowmobiling, family (especially grandkids), watching birds at the feeder, hunting fishing, slowly riding on the pontoon on Island Lake, ruby red sunsets, canoeing, Yellowstone, the promise of the Lord God, the wind in his face, the sun on his back, the woods, and planting trees (Dan planted over 225,000 pine trees in his lifetime). Dan worked 38 years for the State of Minnesota and also enjoyed many of his co-workers as his friends.
