Lynn Attwood Obituary
1952 ~ 2025
Lynn LeRoy Attwood passed away peacefully on October 16, 2025, surrounded by his family.
He was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Helen Joyce "Joy" Nickell Attwood and Wayne LeRoy Attwood. Lynn earned a degree in Biology from Lewis & Clark College and a degree in Architecture from the University of Idaho. He worked as an architect, most recently with FFKR Architects in Salt Lake City, and was known for his steady presence, intelligence, and humor.
While at Lewis & Clark, Lynn met Loren Healy. They married on August 6, 1977, in Salt Lake City and shared 43 years of marriage. After Loren's passing, Lynn honored her memory every day.
Lynn enjoyed painting, watching football, playing cards, and spending time at the family cabin.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Loren Healy Attwood, and his parents. He is survived by his daughters, Amy and Emily Attwood of Salt Lake City, and his sisters, Michelle and Denise Attwood of Spokane.
He liked to joke that when he died, he'd come back as a jackass. If you hear braying in the distance, it might just be him, reminding us to laugh.
A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11 a.m. at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral, 231 E. 100 S., Salt Lake City, followed by a celebration of life at the Attwood residence.
