Arthur "Butch" Anthony Cellini, of Lakeville, passed away on September 18, 2026.

Art is survived by his beloved wife, Cindra; sons, Michael (Kristen) Landau and Blake (Lisa) Landau; grandchildren, Rex, Ridge, Willem, Isaiah, and Alorah; sister, Janet ( Ron) Malin, nephew Michael Lafferty  and many other loving extended family members and friends.

Art proudly served his country as a medic in the United States Army. His greatest pride and joy were his grandchildren. He was a loving and devoted grandfather, affectionately known to them as “Nonno.”

Art loved caring for his yard, which he transformed into a beautiful sanctuary. He also created an elaborate train room in his basement for his grandchildren, bringing them countless hours of happiness and creating many special memories together. Art especially enjoyed traveling throughout the United States with his wife, Cindra, particularly traveling through Door County, Wisconsin, where they visited family and friends every summer. The two of them also shared a love of good cuisine and dining out.

Art will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Monday, October 26, 2026, at White Funeral Home in Apple Valley. Memorial visitation will take place from 10:00 to 11:00 am prior to the service. A celebration of Art’s life will follow at the Apple Valley American Legion.
