Kenneth Lynch Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 5, 2015.

Kenneth "Kenny" Wayne Lynch, 81, of Terre Haute, peacefully entered Heaven's gates Thursday, March 5, 2015. Kenny was born March 4, 1934 to Chessie and Ola Lynch. His parents and brother, William "Bill" Lynch preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by his wife of 41 years, Beverly Blackwell Fuqua Lynch, step son Robert "Bobby" Fuqua and step daughter, Vicki Beeson; and his first wife of 8 years, Rosemary Porter Lynch, who tragically passed with their daughter, Tracy.

Kenny is survived by his children: Pam Curts and husband Mike, Sonnie Wiram and husband Lonnie, Lori Cuffle and husband Mike, Debby Hewitt and fiancé Abe Hubbs, Cheryl Rubeck, all of Terre Haute; Cindy Beikman, Lisa Stewart and husband Stacy of Crawfordsville, and step daughter Jackie Nelson, of Red Wing, Minnesota. Kenny was the best grandpa to 23 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren. Kenny is also survived by his sisters: Norma Boyll, Betty Lynch, Anna Stultz and sister-in-law, Mary Lynch.

Kenny faced life's challenges with joy and a joke; he loved to laugh and was always bringing a smile to his family. Kenny served in the Navy on the USS Valor during the Korean War and later returned to Terre Haute and worked for Kleptz Aluminum until his retirement. He enjoyed restoring classic cars and spending time on his tractor.

Services will be Monday at Debaun-Callahan, located at 25th and Wabash Streets in Terre Haute with Pastor Mark Grayless officiating. Visitation will be at 11 a.m. and funeral services at 2 p.m. Graveside services with military honors will be held at Roselawn Memorial Park, immediately following the funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CASA Kids, 141 Oak Street Terre Haute, Indiana 47807, or a charity of your choice in Kenny's honor. Envelopes will available at the funeral home. Online condolences can be made at www.debaunfuneralhomes.com
