Bryan Russel Lindstrom

Bryan Russel Lindstrom, 63, of West Palm Beach, Florida (formerly of New Berlin and Green Bay), passed away on July 4, 2025 — fitting for someone who lived with fireworks in his heart and a boom in his voice.

Born on July 6, 1961, to Teddy (Dorothea) and Russel Lindstrom, Bryan was the fourth of five spirited siblings. From the start, he came in hot — stubborn, full of energy, and impossible to ignore. And he never cooled down. He was quick with an opinion, quicker with a joke, and loud enough to make sure no one missed either.

He spent over 35 years working as a roofer. Through blazing summers and bitter winters, he showed up. His hands built homes, but his true talent was building laughter — often with a quick-witted joke or a story that may or may not have been entirely true. He believed in working hard, but playing even harder.

A lifelong Packers fan, Bryan bled green and gold. Sundays were sacred, and you could count on hearing him chant “GREEN BAY!” through the neighborhood. Bryan was a loud-and-proud kind of guy — the kind who never missed a game, always drove a red Chevy truck, and cheered on Jimmie Johnson like it was his job. When he loved something, he loved it full throttle.

Bryan was the life of every party and never missed a chance to celebrate. Though his family and friends were spread across cities and states, he always found a way to bring them together. Whether it was the Fourth of July or the annual block parties of years past, he had a talent for running the show, manning the grill, and turning ordinary days into cherished memories.

He is survived by his wife, Bonnie; his former wife, Meri, with whom he raised three children; and the mother of his eldest child, Lisa. His children — Ben (Tammi), Abby (Lucas), Devin, Hannah — and his step-children, Sara, David, and Nick, were his greatest pride. He adored his eight grandsons: Dayton, Benny, Jimmy, Owain, Cian, Callum, Leo, and Rudy — and never missed a chance to brag about each one of them.

Bryan also leaves behind his siblings Melinda, Guy (Cindy), Tammi, and Traci (Todd), and countless nieces, nephews, friends, neighbors, bartenders, and anyone else lucky enough to have crossed paths with him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Teddy and Russel.
