He worked hard in his quest to brick Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas. Lindsay's favorite things were riding the open road with the Rubber Knife Gang; cruising the Main Streets, highways, and biways in one of his classic cars; having coffee with his coffee guys at the Gilbert Community Center, The Grove, and the Harley shop; cheering on the Iowa State Cyclones, especially going to football games; being a devoted fan of all Gilbert athletics and many kids throughout the years but the most devoted fan of his daughters and now his grandkids. After his family, his friends were most important to him. He never met a stranger. Lindsay is survived by his wife, Pat Ellingson; daughters and sons-in-law, Jill and Mike Kruse and their children Emma, Raney and Bowen, and Kate and Doug Stephens and their children Camden and Hudson; his brothers, Mike (Pat) Ellingson and Patrick Pantenburg, and one sister, Penny (Kenneth)"Jocko" Mindemann; sisters-in-law Susan Lyon, Nancy (Art) Bates, and Diane Cox (Ron Jones); and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, Dennis Ellingson; and a brother-in-law, Joe Lyon.
