Lynn always had a desire to learn new things and kept up on certifications and learning new skills. He was blessed with a creative mind, many talents and abilities that allowed him to do just about anything. He was blessed with a keen mind to the end and retained memories and all he had learned here in this life. He was most knowledgeable in cars and could walk you through fixing a car with his eyes closed. He passed on that knowledge and skills to anyone who wanted it, mostly his son, David, who worked along side of him from a very young age. His passion for farming started with working with his Grandpa and Dad on the farm in Tremonton and remained with him throughout his life.

Lynn was a faithful, devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served many hours in leadership roles; Scouting, working with the youth, High Councilor and Bishop.

Lynn worked hard but played hard too. He was a fun Dad and Grandpa and always goofing off and making time for family and vacations. Family was his most precious treasure even above his love of cars. He adored his wife Cheryl, and they cherished their time spent caring for each other through their health struggles. He had a zest for life and he always made the best out of every situation. He encountered every trial with strength and a positive attitude. He touched everyone he ever talked to or met with his caring, listening ear and smile. He loved people and time around his family.
