Lincoln Gene Widiker was born November 27, 2024, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Nathan and Lisa Widiker. He joined the angels in Heaven on March 23, 2025.

Lincoln was the most perfect little baby. He was always so happy and had the most contagious smile and laugh. Lincoln loved car rides, walks, getting pushed around in his highchair, being in the ‘fun zone’ with Dad, cuddling with Mom and watching the ceiling fan. Linc was just beginning to find his voice, and he sure had a lot to say! When Lincoln smiled, he smiled with his whole heart. He was the light of our world, our little sunshine and greatest blessing. Lincoln proved to us how strong he was in his final days, and although God took him too soon, he continues his life on Earth as an organ donor. Lincoln accomplished more in his four short months than most do in a lifetime.

Lincoln Gene is survived by his parents Nathan and Lisa (Janak) Widiker; grandparents Roger and Julie Janak, and Gene and Wendy Widiker; aunts and uncles Willie and Jenn (Janak) Coyne, Nick and Emily (Peterson) Janak, Mike and Cassie (Widiker) Geary, and Riley and Taylor (Widiker) Weissinger; and cousins Bentley, Declan and Ellery Coyne, Kaiden French, and Ben and Cali Widiker.
