Josh Lynaugh

I love and miss you so much

I miss you every day. I can't believe you're really not here with me anymore. Every now and then I still dial your number to say goodnight and tell you I love you and stay safe. The whole family misses you. Ashly is taking it pretty hard. We all love you so very much and miss your laugh. I know you will be there waiting for me when i get there. See you then

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry for this unimaginable loss to the Lynaugh family. Officer Lynaugh, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your enthusiastic service to the city of St. Paul. God Speed!

I met Josh when he worked for my son Dan at Suburban Hardware in So. St. Paul. I remember the day he came into the store in full dress uniform, graduation day from the police academy. Such a smile on his face, so excited and so proud. He was thrilled to be a police office. My sympathies to all of his family - he was an incredible man.

God bless Josh and may God comfort his family and friends during this most difficult time. Debra, Stillwater

Dear Tim and family,

I just heard the Lynaugh name on the news, pulled out the K9 card you gave me a few years ago, and relized this was your son. I am truly sorry for your loss. I am disappointed I missed your son's funeral. Your son is now up in heaven with Kristi, you can only imagine the fun they will have.....

Take care of yourself.

Sincerely

Kurt Sadler

Lynaugh Family,
I do not know the family but I wish you deepest sympathy on your loss. It sounds like Josh was a well liked officer on the East Side and was well respected.

RIP. Thank you for your service.

God Bless your family at this time. Sincerely, Custom Protection Officer, Kelly P. Lynch at the Travelers downtown St Paul.

Tim and family, We are so sorry for your loss and thinking about your past, present, and future. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

God bless you Josh. Thank you for your service to the City of St Paul.

To the Lynaugh Family,
Officer Josh, as our students called him, will be missed. He positively impacted our lives with his huge heart. It was always fun watching the youngest kids gather around the 'giant' and the older kids ask him for advice and guidance. He will continue to be a permanent fixture in our hearts. May the Lynaugh family be comforted knowing that Officer Josh was truly loved by kids of all ages.

Dear Lynaugh family...I met Josh when he was at Stillwater PD with my son Peter. Peter and I saw Josh last summer and he was full of enthusiasm about his profession and SPPD. It was infectious. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Mueller family

Thoughts and prayers to the Lynaugh family. God Bless you Josh.

Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time of loss.

Lynaugh Family -

My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. Josh was wonderful to my family when we dealt with a great loss. We didn't know Josh prior, however he treated us like his own family. I will cherish those memories of him and am appreciative of him during that time. My deepest sympathies to the Lynaugh Family and the St. Paul Police Department for their loss.

Rest in Peace. Thoughts are with the family at this most difficult time.

Praying for strength for the family at this difficult time ...I had the privilege of working with Josh...gone too soon...wonderful cop!

I am wonderful that I have actually met you, I think you're a wonderful person and I wish you a happy life. In my culture we believe that you will come back into our lives one day. We see that you are a wonderful asset in our community, and it sucks to see you go. You will truly be missed, along that I am a newly changed person because of you help. May you be missed and rest in peace.

Rest in peace officer Lynaugh...Thank you for your service to the City Of St. Paul.

Tim and Family:

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you. I had only met Josh a few times but his smile says it all; in the words of my grandma "he's got a nice face".

I cannot begin to understand your emotions or loss but I pray that soon you will be able to remember Josh with a smile instead of a tear and know that he is still with you.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss - your family is in our prayers. God Bless.

To Tim and all of the Lynaugh family please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of Josh. Tim, though I did not know Josh, his choice to follow in his dad's pathway and be a law enforcement officer speaks volumes of his character. Again I am sorry for your families loss.

Tim, my prayers and condolences go out to you, and your family. I was so sad to see this news.

I knew Josh as a classmate in the LEO skills program. H was a person full of heart. He will be missed.

Tim and family,
Words can't express how sorry I am to hear of Josh's passing. I will keep you in my prayers.

My prayers will continue to be with the Lynaugh family during this difficult time. As a teacher at Hmong College Prep Academy where Officer Josh worked part-time last school year, I was able to witness the incredible impact and impression he made upon students K-12th grade. Each time you make a difference in a child's life, you leave a legacy behind, and what a legacy Josh leaves here on Earth.

To Josh's family, my deepest condolences go out to each of you. It is impossible to understand why such a vibrant young man is taken from us so soon. Take comfort in the memories his loves ones share with you, these are precious. I will be thinking of you and my prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Lynaugh family. I believe memories are not in how one dies, but in how they lived and the lives they have touched. I know you are proud of how your son lived and the lives he saved. I hope those memories help during your time of healing.

Lynaugh and SPPD families -
To say the very least, it is so hard to lose a loved one that you hold so dear. Your heartache will ease with time, but the memories you have of Josh will live on forever in your hearts. You will always him with you and know that he will always watch over each and every one of you.

My heart reaches out to the Lynaugh family.

Tim, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry hear of your loss.

I had the privilege of being in a few classes with Josh during high school. He was the sweetest person and would go out of his way to help people, always with a little sarcasm included. I remember he always wanted to be a police officer! How proud you must be of your son for doing what he loved and serving the people of our great state. It is an honor to have known someone like him!!! My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and co-workers at this time.

To the Lynaugh family, Friends and his brothers and sisters in blue I am sorry for your loss. I am glad I had the privelage of knowing Josh and seeing first hand what a great person, police officer and friend he was. Josh will be missed greatly!

Tim & Lori and family, Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

praying for your whole family. I work with Jody at OVMS. Jody

To lose a child, although grown, must be a true heartbreak. My heart goes out to you. Br proud of how you raised him, and take comfort in how many people he helped. Tim Lynaugh, you helped me with my troubles with Jim Casci on Beech St. Thank you for that. And, thank you and your son for becoming police officers. Hold the rest of your family close.

My thoughts and paryers are with the Lynaugh family today and for always!

Thank you for your service and protection, sad that you are gone so soon.
To the Lynaugh many prayers of strength go the whole family.

Thank G-d for an all too short but wonderful life; and to the lives you saved and to the many commendations earned.... inspired I know by your father and family.

Dear Tim and family. We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Josh. I met him last year as my 92 yr. old step dad moved in down the block from him. I asked if he wouldn't mind keeeping an eye out for him when he had occasion to. He was a very pleasant and accomadating young man and a hell of a cop I hear. God's peace and comfort to you all. Mark and Louise Richie.

Laurie, Tim and Family.
All we have been doing is thinking of you. We are so sorry and love you! Prayers go to you everyday.
Love Jacki, Michelle, Sherry and Sheilla

Tim and Family:

With each memory we meet again
With those we love…..
For the heart never forgets,
Someone so special ----
Can never be forgotten
May you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always,
And strength in the companionship of those who share your loss
You are held in gentle thought and prayer.
