John Marcus Lundberg

June 7, 1960 - January 11, 2013

John Marcus Lundberg passed away January 11, 2013.  John was born June 7, 1960 in Batavia, Illinois, the son of John Elliott and Norma (McConnaughay) Lundberg.  John was preceded in death by his parents, and is survived by brothers Jim (Angie), Carl (Leslie), Dan (Melissa), and sister Kathy (Kevin) Chesley and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.  He was affectionately known by friends and family as “Zudich”.

John graduated from Batavia High School, class of 1978, and then began his career as a machinist.  He became very skilled on different machines and worked for multiple companies in the Fox Valley area.  

John enjoyed woodworking, fishing, antiquing, gathering with family and friends, and especially enjoyed the outdoors.  He was always there when needed to help friends and family.  John built his own house, a couple barns, and owned and operated a small horse farm.

For the past decade, these interests were curtailed by multiple health issues, notably chronic fatigue syndrome and several associated ailments.

John grew up in a family of faith and was baptized and confirmed at Bethany Lutheran Church in Batavia.  He had a very giving spirit which he carried throughout his life.

Funeral services and interment will be private. 

Memorials may be made to the CFIDS Association of America, www.cfids.org.
