Gerald Lyon Obituary

On September 12th, 2025, Gerald Wayne Lyon Sr. left this world behind. Born March 20th, 1955, in Wynona, Minnesota, Gerald was a jovial spirit 70 years of age. He is survived by his wife Twila Lyon, his daughter Michelle, and his sons Seth and Oliver. He is also survived by his grandchildren Adrian, Julien, Mikel, and Levi, his sisters Sandy, Kathy, and Joy, and his brothers Wayne, Steve, Eric, and Ted.

A distinguished motor coach driver and mechanic, he traveled far and wide, touching countless lives with his infectious laugh and love of history. Witty, charismatic, and endearingly stubborn, he will be greatly missed by those whom he is saving a place for in heaven.
