Obituary published on Legacy.com by Robertson Funeral Directors - Clarendon on Dec. 9, 2025.
Elbert "Lynn" McKinney, 65, of Clarendon, Texas, passed away on Sunday, December 7, 2025.

Funeral services will be held 2:00 PM on Friday, December 12, 2025 in the First Baptist Church in Clarendon. Burial will follow in Citizens Cemetery in Clarendon.

Viewing will be held Thursday at the funeral home.

Arrangements are under the care of Robertson Funeral Directors of Clarendon.

Lynn was born on September 3, 1960, to James and Rava (Leffew) McKinney at the Adair Hospital in Clarendon. He married the love of his life, Gina Kay Land, on February 9, 1980. For 44 years, Lynn worked faithfully at McKinney's Motor Co. as a car salesman, where he built countless friendships and was known for his warm smile, honest nature, and dedication to serving others.

Lynn loved nothing more than spending time with his family. He enjoyed barbecuing for gatherings, cheering on his beloved Dallas Cowboys, and taking great pride in tending to his yard. His presence, kindness, and steady humor will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is preceded in death by his parents; and his son, Timothy Lyn McKinney.

Lynn is survived by his wife, Gina, of Clarendon; his brother, Edward McKinney of McLean; his daughter, Mandy Burrow McKinney; grandchildren Jesse James Burrow and wife Abby, Nolan Lee Burrow, and Zackery Lockhart McKinney; and several nieces and nephews.
