A proud 1959 graduate of St. Marys Memorial High School, Lynn dedicated his life to the community as the owner and operator of Cisco Stockyards in St. Marys. Even after retiring, he enjoyed staying active, mowing lawns for Cisco Lawn Care alongside his grandchildren.
Lynn was an avid fisherman, finding joy in trips to Minnesota for walleye fishing at the family home, as well as crappie fishing in Tennessee. He also treasured the camaraderie of his weekly Friday night poker games with close friends. Lynn was a loyal supporter of Rider girls' and boys' basketball teams and cherished the time spent with his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
