Lynn Wehrmann Obituary

Lynn L. Wehrmann, age 67 of Peotone, IL, formally of Manhattan, IL , passed away unexpectedly on September 19, 2025. Survived by his wife Kathy, his children Joe, Danny, and Josh (Megan), mother Lois (late Raymond) Koehler, father LeRoy Wehrmann, and grandchildren Aydan, Brody, Mia, Ava and Arianna. Preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Gilbert and LaVern Wehrmann, and maternal grandparents Edwin and Louise Andres.

Lynn attended Lincoln Way Central High School before owning his first trucking company, then moving on to work for Barnhart Crane & Rigging as a Logistics Management specialist. He assumed the position for over 45 years, harnessing his craft with expertise and precision before his retirement. Lynn had a knack for restoring old vehicles- capable of overcoming any challenges that might have come his way. He made many connections with surrounding communities and was known, loved, and appreciated by many. He was the kind of man whose work ethic, proud spirit, and strength in familial love could be seen clear as day in his actions.

Visitation for Lynn will take place on Saturday, September 27, 2025 from 9:00am until the time of Service at 1:00pm at Forsythe Gould Funeral Home. Interment at Manhattan Center Cemetery will immediately follow.

My interactions with Lynn were limited to work, but they were always positive. He had a special way of injecting humor into many situations, which was welcomed in the workplace. He will be missed.
