John David Lehmkuhl Obituary: Minneapolis Resident Dies at 48

John David Lehmkuhl, 48, of Minneapolis, passed away on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, in Northfield. An initial notice announced his death and shared arrangements for a celebration of his life later this month.

The announcement is brief, with a full obituary expected to be posted soon. For now, it gives those who knew John the date and location of the gathering, along with time for visitation before the service.

John’s place of residence was listed as Minneapolis, while Northfield was identified as the place of his passing. The notice does not provide further information about the circumstances of his death.

Readers searching Star Tribune obituaries for John David Lehmkuhl should note that the supplied announcement appeared in a search result attributed to Northfield Area Obituaries. That excerpt does not establish that an obituary has been published by the newspaper.

Celebration of Life at Bethel Lutheran Church

A celebration of John’s life is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Bethel Lutheran Church in Northfield. Visitation will take place at the church from 1 p.m. until the service begins.

The church is located at 1321 North Avenue, Northfield, Minnesota 55057. The date, visitation time and church address are also listed in the online obituary on Echovita.

For anyone planning to attend both portions of the afternoon, visitation begins one hour before the celebration of life. Those coming for the service should plan around the announced 2 p.m. starting time and allow time to arrive and find a seat.

Friends and relatives arranging travel can use the October 30 date to make their plans. Before leaving, checking the complete notice for any updates will help confirm that the arrangements remain the same.

The supplied announcement does not describe the order of service or mention a reception afterward. Anyone needing information about accessibility, parking or other practical arrangements should check directly with the venue or the funeral provider listed in the complete obituary.

Full Obituary and Further Announcements

The initial notice says a full obituary will be posted soon. A longer announcement may provide more information about John’s life, his family and the friendships, work and interests that mattered to him. Those details were not included in the excerpt.

No relatives, employment history, educational background or personal interests are named in the supplied notice. It would therefore be premature to add a life story or describe John’s character on the basis of this announcement alone.

For people who knew him, a personal memory can offer something that a brief public notice cannot. A photograph, a shared story or a few sincere words of condolence may be a meaningful way to acknowledge his life and support those closest to him.

Those who cannot attend can still reach out privately. A short message recalling a specific moment with John can be more personal than a general expression of sympathy or loss.

Anyone considering flowers or a memorial contribution should look for the family’s preferences in the full obituary before making arrangements. The supplied excerpt does not identify a charity or include instructions about donations.

The announced gathering will take place in Northfield on October 30, with visitation at 1 p.m. and the celebration of life at 2 p.m. Further biographical details remain pending in the initial notice.
