Albert Paul Linder, Jr., 52, of Sweet Home passed away Tuesday. He was born in Snohomish, Washington to Albert Paul, Sr., and Dora (Beltz) Linder.

He moved to Oregon in 1993. Albert married Merle King in 1995. He was a proud and honorable father of seven children.

Albert was a dedicated grandfather, husband, and Christian. He was always a faithful member of The Rezzurection Life Church. That’s the place where he was at peace within himself. Al spent most of his evenings at that church fellowshipping with his brethern and his paster, Jim Oviatt, of Sweet Home. Jim wasn’t just his paster, but was also his true friend.

Albert is survived by: his wife, Merle (King) Linder; children, James Linder, Jacob Linder, Jeremy Linder, Tye King, Russell Ray, Deborah McClary, and Michelle Jaques.
