Lynn was born and raised in Stanford, Arkansas and graduated from Stanford High School in 1960. On February 13, 1960, Lynn and Verenda married and eventually relocated to Flint, Michigan for a few short years before moving back to Arkansas in 1968, making Fairfield Bay, Arkansas their new home. One of Lynn's great passions was fishing, and he cherished beautiful Greers Ferry Lake where he spent countless days fishing with his many friends and relatives. Lynn worked several jobs in different industries throughout the next 24 years and it was at that time that he received his greatest calling, which was his call to ministry in 1992. Over the next 30 years Lynn served as associate pastor at First Baptist Church of Shirley which then led him to full time ministry where he served as head pastor at Rupert Baptist Church, First Baptist Church Hoxie, and Lexington Baptist Church until he reached his final pastoral position at Cabin Creek Baptist Church in Lamar in 2015. Lynn's passions were his family and fishing, but his greatest passion of all was serving his Lord Jesus Christ and spreading the gospel of salvation and the Love and Peace that only He can give.

Oh how my heart breaks upon hearing this news although I know that Bro. Lynn's goal here on earth was to go to Heaven some day.
My mom thought the world of him and Ms. Verenda. I'm thankful still to this day for you all crossing paths...I too come to know just how special he and Ms. Verenda were/are by meeting you both.
My prayers are lifted up for you, Ms. Verenda and yall's family. I hope your hearts will be comforted in knowing he is with our Father in Heaven now.
I thank him and Ms. Verenda for their service in Lord...it spoke volumes to me.

Jesus said to His Apostles, "My Peace I give unto you" The peace He gives is beyond human understanding. May His peace be yours and may He surround you with His arms of love

May God bless Lynn’s family during their time of grief. I’m going to miss my friend, partner in the ministry, and fishing buddy, but I will see Lynn again one day; for I placed my faith in Jesus just as he did. 😔ðŸ™ðŸŽ£

Lynn you and Verenda have been my friends since 1956 when I started school at Stanford. You were our class President and we all depended on you. My brother even married into your family. Verenda I feel for you. My husband has been gone 8 years. As long as I breathe I will miss him and I know you will miss Lynn the same way. Sending hugs as I can’t come to services. May God be with you. Love you.
