Sheldon John Lien, 57, passed away unexpectedly on May 23 . Sheldon was born on August 15, 1961 in Madison, WI and was baptized at Burke Lutheran Church. He lived in Madison his whole life. He was a hard worker, starting at a young age on the family farm. He held many jobs over the years, including working 19 years at Aramark. Though he struggled greatly with mental illness and addiction, he had a heart of gold and would help anyone that needed help. He loved animals, music, and would read any book he could get his hands on. He enjoyed being with friends and family, and was loved and cared about by many. We will always remember his happy smile and sense of humor. Sheldon was preceded in death by his parents, June and Reginald Lien, and a brother, Randall. He is survived by his brothers, Chuck Lien, Tom Lien, Bill (Debra) Lien, Steve Lien; and his sisters, Rena Lien, Teresa Hoveland, and Julie (Jim) Kachel; and many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
