He is also survived by his siblings Laura (John) Pilby and James Worthington, and his sister-in-law Barb Worthington. Lynn was a beloved brother-in-law to Laura Pennington (Phil Knapp) and cherished friend to Garth and Britta Knapp.
He was a proud uncle to Sherry (Derrek), Paul (Mary Jane), and a great-uncle to Jaxon, Liam, and Kyle. Known for his patience and caring nature, Lynn adored his roles as husband, father, and “Papa.” He loved his family deeply and found immense joy in spending time with them.
Lynn was an avid fisherman who cherished outings with his father, friends from the fishing club, and his high school buddies Ron and Sam. He loved his boat and found peace on the water. Lynn will be remembered as a kind, devoted, and generous man, surrounded by the love of his family and friends.
