A funeral service will be held at 12:00pm on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Hayworth-Miller Silas Creek Chapel. The family will receive friends from 6:00pm to 8:00pm on Friday, August 22, 2025, at the funeral home. Burial will follow the service at the family home located at 740 Thomas Rd, Lexington, NC 27295.

Lynn owned and operated The Original McCrary House Movers of Lexington, NC, established in 1900.

Lynn was truly the most honest man to ever walk this earth. He blessed every room he entered with an open mind and the purest, kindest heart. He never met a stranger, never turned anyone away and lived his life for his family. Lynn worked every single second he could, he had more determination and drive than anyone half his age. God fearing and humble, Lynn never shied away from his Lord and savior. He gave the best advice and told the best jokes. Despite all his blessings to this earth, Lynn knew this wasn’t his forever home. He knew Heaven held a Kingdom built just for him, a Kingdom only his savior could offer.
