Lynn Dunn, age 85, of Arlington, KY, passed away at 5:00 pm on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at Baptist Health in Paducah. Beloved son of Floyd and Esther Dunn, Lynn was born Friday, April 10, 1931 at Dunn Hospital in Arlington, KY.

 

A resident of Carlisle County, he served his community as PVA for two terms and acted as Bank Director for Citizens Deposit Bank. He was an active member of Arlington Baptist Church and an avid supporter of the church youth. Lynn taught Sunday school classes and served as an Usher.

 

Quite the carpenter and draftsman, successful salesman turned small business owner, farmer, fisherman and good steward of the land; his work was never done and he never retired. He was fair and kind with measured patience and good humor. Lynn worked hard with his hands, sharp with his mind, and best with his heart. He lived out his favorite Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 13:13.

 

A selfless man, his generosity assured construction of Joy Memorial churches in the Philippines and Uganda and among other endeavors, made possible medical mission trips to Russia.

 

Today those who knew and loved him mourn their loss. His strong and true values, ethics, and morals leave a legacy and serve as a role model for all.

 

He is survived by his wife, Joyce Marie Dunn of Arlington; one daughter, Donna Lynn Cooksey of Paducah; one son, Rudy Dwayne Dunn of Arlington; six grandchildren, Jaime Lynn, Aaron Blaine, Devon Rhea, Ragan Nichole, Amber Rochelle, and Joy Diane; five great-grandchildren, James Lee Dalton, Aubree Lynn, Ella Rhea, Natalie Nichole Kathleen, and Emmett Jack.

 

He was preceded in death by his daughter, Joy Rhea Treece; one brother, James Floyd; parents, Floyd and Esther Dunn.

 

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Arlington with Rev. David Sphinx officiating. Burial will follow at Arlington Cemetery.

 

Visitation will be held from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Arlington and 12:00 pm until 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Arlington.
