Tom Joerndt

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


On December 31st Tom was out Hunting. Something he very much enjoys doing. We are unsure of the details but we can make an educated guess on what happened. We think that he was getting into his deer stand about 20-25 feet off the ground. It looked as if he was going to bring his Bow up  once he was in the stand when the part of the stand that he was standing on gave out. This Caused him to fall. We Think now that he arrived to his location around 4pm. He was not found until about 7:45 pm by his wife Lynn. When he was found he was talking.  He was then Brought To HCMC by ambulance around 8:20pm (Hennepin  County Medical Center) The Number one Trauma Center in MN.  Once in the Hospital The doctors discovered the extent of His injuries . We (His Wife Lynn, Daughter Nicole and Step Daughter Tina) are using the CaringBridge Site to Keep his Family Updated. As most of you know Tom is a very Private person. We would like to respect what we know his wishes would be if he were able to talk at this time, but also keep his family updated. Therefore we are only allowing Family to see updates and it will have to be approved  by one of us. Again this is out of respect to Tom.  We will try and Update once a day. 


Thank you for all of your Love, Support and Prayers, 
Lynn, Nicole, and Tina
