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.
