Gov. Kelly Armstrong has expressed his condolences following the death of Dr. Tom Strinden, husband of Lt. Gov. Michelle Strinden. Dr. Strinden passed away on Sunday, July 13, at their family lake home after a 17-month battle with brain cancer.
"Tom valiantly fought cancer the same way he lived his life – with an unshakable faith in his savior Jesus Christ and an unwavering commitment to his family," said Armstrong. He highlighted Dr. Strinden's support for his wife’s public service career and noted that even after his diagnosis, Dr. Strinden continued working as an eye surgeon.
Armstrong also praised Dr. Strinden's dedication to various activities, including coaching hockey programs and participating in medical mission trips globally. "Our hearts go out to Michelle, Jacob, Joe, Ben, Sarah, and the entire Strinden and Strecker families," Armstrong added.
Funeral arrangements are yet to be announced as the family requests privacy during this time.
