Lynn Richard Abbott

Lynn had a personality that was larger than life, plus he was a mountain of a man with a quick, brilliant mind, but was a gentleman through and through. He would give the shirt off his back to help anyone in need. Especially his family. After serving honorably in the United States Air Force, Lynn worked at Kaiser Steel, and when the mill closed, he went to law school where he met and fell in love with his soulmate and wife. Lynn had two daughters that loved him without question. Three Grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. All of whom loved Lynn deeply.

More valuable to Lynn than any career were his roles as the patriarch and historian of his family, loving husband, and friend to many. If anyone needed his help, he was there for them. Barbershop singing was one of his greatest pleasures and a pleasure to those who listened to his beautiful baritone voice. His greatest accomplishment was earning the enduring love of friends and family.

Lynn loved his stories and wasn't above tweaking the truth a bit if it made a better story. The family knew many of them by heart but always enjoyed his enjoyment in telling them again and again.

In the last several years of his life, Lynn was in a great deal of pain, primarily back pain. He slipped into the afterlife silently in his bed surrounded by his wife, puppies, and memories. The way he wanted to go. Lynn is survived by his wife Beth; two daughters: Jennifer Abbott and Michelle Abbott-Spears; three grandchildren: Erin Yates, Stephanie Holland, and Kyle Abbott; his four great-grandchildren Deven, Kelsey, Trent, and Liam; and his sister: Lynette Ousley.
