Obituary
Will Austin Podbelsek, 27, of Lincoln
passed away on Monday, March 21, 2022.
Will was born on August 26, 1994 in Springfield, the
son of Dan and Ann (Long) Podbelsek.
Will is survived by his son, Paxton of Lincoln, his
parents, Dan and Ann Podbelsek of Lincoln, his two
sisters, Paige (Tommy) Mendenhall of Aurora and
Amanda (Jared) Maxheimer of Mt. Pulaski, his
grandparents Cecil and Pat Long of Pleasant Hill and
several aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Will was preceded in death by his paternal
grandparents: Franklin and Noreta Podbelsek, his
uncle: Mark Tobias, and his aunt: Leslie Sank.
Will, or Pod, to his friends, will be remembered as
an amazing son, brother, father, and friend. He was
a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Lincoln and
was baptized at Mississippi Valley Christian Service
Camp. He was an avid athlete, all his life, playing
basketball, baseball, soccer, and track from
childhood through his degree at Monmouth College.
He was also creative and talented in many other
ways. Will taught himself to play guitar and enjoyed
writing and creating his own music. He loved
spending time on his grandparents’ farm in
Pittsfield and enjoying the outdoors, including
mushroom hunting, and riding the four-wheeler.

a constant friendly face to all who knew him. He was

Will will be remembered with love by everyone who
