August Lindecker, 86, of Alexander, North Dakota passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at the Mountrail County Medical Center in Stanley, North Dakota.

August was born on June 15, 1938, in Charbonneau, North Dakota to Earnest and Mary Lindecker. After finishing school, August spent his time working on the family farm.

In 1958, just shy of twenty years old, August enlisted in the Army National Guard of Montana. He went on to serve nine years in the army before being honorably discharged in August of 1967.

After his time in the army, August did many different things to keep himself busy. He farmed, was a trucker, hauled hay, and enjoyed playing the guitar and singing. August taught himself how to play the guitar and to sing on his own and enjoyed performing in front of other people. He performed at many nursing homes, Big Opening, and really wherever they would let him. There were many nights of jam sessions held at his house where he would simply play guitar and sing for hours. He truly had a passion for the art of music.

August was a jack of all trades and picked up many different hobbies and traits over the years. Not only was he good at performing and a hard worker but he also learned welding, was a mechanic, and enjoyed trail riding on horseback. August was a proud member of the Moose Lodge and a lifetime member of the NRA. If there was one thing August would let you know right away, it was that he was not a big fan of children. He loved his nieces and nephews but never cared about having any children of his own. August will remain in our hearts forever, and we will cherish the memories that we were able to share with him for an eternity.

August is survived by his brother, George Lindecker; nephew, George Walker; nieces, Mary Erickson, Karen Schaffer, Dorothy Johnson, Myrtle Olive, Vera Boyle, and Selma Lane; along with numerous great nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earnest and Mary; sister, May (Art) Olson, Annie (John) Walker; nephews, John Walker, Steve Lindecker, great-grand nieces, Angela Thunker, Jacquelyn Erickson.
