To the entire Martin family, my heart aches for all of us that had the privilege to know/love Jerry Lynn. Selfless, giving, big hearted and always ready to help. He is truly one of a kind that left this world and those of us who knew him better. He was that kind of individual. I cannot count the number of laughs that he brought to my life and the times I saw him chastise anyone picking on a classmate. Although, my job prevented me from attending the service today, I plan to be at the memorial svc later. That shows how much you were loved/cherished by the mere fact that there are two services honoring your life. You represented what was good in this life, friend. Peace and blessings to his family.

Jerry Lynn had the gift of knowing how to love. He was humble, generous, gracious, and good. His heart was tender, his spirit sweet. He gave of himself and loved well in his life. It is my honor and good fortune to have known and loved him.

Jerry was one of the sweetest guys I've ever known and so handsome. I think about Jerry and just remembering his smile makes me smile today. I know he is in the arms of an angel and her name is Jeanne. Love and prayers to his family and my forever friend Guyla. May peace of Gods love surround you and comfort you always.

Dear Martin Family. Please know that you are all in our prayers. Losing a brother is so impossible to think about and is so difficult to accept. God's Blessings to you all.

To my Good Friend Jerry. My Heart is deeply saddened, to learn that you are no longer with us. And it will settle in, over Time. But, I wish to celebrate Your LIFE!

Although he never went out for Sports, he could hit a Baseball into the Next Century! But he was focused on his future, and unless you are 1 in 20 Million, making a Career out of sports was not likely. Alway's respected that about Jerry, especially now, with Bad Knees, and other sport related damage to a 49 year old body, it is only now, that I can see your Wisdom!

Take care my friend, and hope to see you in the next Life!

Jerry Lynn was a good friend. I never saw him that he wasn't smiling. I lost track of him over the years and I regret that. He was a fine welder, a heck of an arm wrestler and great guy. He will be missed.
