Capt. Robert D. Lindenau, 39, was assigned to the 91st Civil Affairs Battalion, 95th Civil Affairs Brigade (Airborne), at Fort Bragg, N.C. He died on Monday while supporting combat operations. No other information was immediately available from the Defense Department. Lindenau’s wife Tonya lives at Fort Bragg. A family member answering the telephone there said that the Lindenau family was not ready to say anything about Capt. Lindenau. According to public records, Robert and Tonya Lindenau lived on Camano Island in the mid- to late 1990s and briefly in Everett from 1999 to 2000. More than 20 people with connections to Snohomish and Island counties have died in combat or training operations since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan started.
