Oppegaard, Michael Lawrence age 46, passed away of natural causes at his home in Chaska, Minnesota on June 24, 2019. He is survived by parents, Larry and Mary Oppegaard; sister, Rachel Livingston; brother, David (Amy) Oppegaard; nieces and nephews, Emily, Abby, Josh and Adam Livingston, Ryan, Jake, and Finn Oppegaard; and his love, Casey Cullinan. Also survived by aunts and uncles, Margaret and Jim Mikkelson, Alan and Joyce Oppegaard, and their families; as well as many, many amazing friends from Minnetonka High School, Drake University, and others who shared special time with him over the years. Michael was preceded in death by grandparents, Elmer and Carol Knudsen, and Lawrence and Barbara Oppegaard; and best friends, Nick Fiedler and Matt Gaumer. Michael grew up in Excelsior, on Lake Minnewashta. He had a deep appreciation of music and nature. A Bob Dylan song and fishing rod brought him joy (as did the unrelenting jabs he hurled at friends with his comedic gift). Michael was witty, loving, brave and fiercely loyal. He left an impression on everyone he met. He will be missed. Services will be held on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at 11am at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, 301 County Rd. 19, Excelsior, MN 55331. Visitation at church starting at 9am. Memorial contributions may be made to the MN Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 100 N 6th St. #604A, Minneapolis, MN 55403.
