John Murray Lynn

It is with painful, heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mightily beloved and forever cherished John Murray Lynn, Esq, 77, on November 9, 2024, at Upstate Community Hospice House following a very brief illness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lt. Col. Winfred E. Lynn and Mrs. Louise Lynn, and one brother, Robert Lynn.

John is survived by his loving wife, Ann, of 38 years; three children, John Michael (Ann), Lara (Duffy), and Teresa (Charlie); a stepdaughter, Heather (Tony); seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.

John practiced law in Homestead, Florida, for more than 40 years, continuing for some time post-retirement.

He was an avid and exceptional golfer, a sharpshooter, and a renowned Expert Everglades Back Country Navigator and fisherman. John and his close buddies spent every Snook Season in a feverish state on a boat in search of those “monster beauties,” celebrating their limit with fine wine and caviar.

In 2016, John and Ann retired to their NC farm, where John found such happiness that he would often say, “I only wish I could have another lifetime to enjoy this place!”

John will be fondly remembered and sorrowfully missed by all who knew him as the epitome of a devout gentleman with a quick wit, an enviable sense of humor, and an exceptionally kind, loving, and charitable heart.  As one of his closest buddies said, “John will be missed, missed, and missed.”

Private Memorial Services will be held at later dates, both in Florida and North Carolina.
