Terry Lynn Obituary
Funeral services will be held at 1:00, Tuesday, October 9th at the Lewis Arriola Community Center. Burial will follow at the Cortez Cemetery. A potluck dinner will be held at the Lewis Arriola Community Center after the burial.
Terry was born in Cortez, Colorado to Vondelle (Wagner) and Charles Leroy Lynn on January 12th, 1960. He married Becky Morris on June 27th, 1981 in Cortez, Colorado. Together they had two wonderful children, Casey and Darcy Lynn and four beautiful grandchildren. He is survived by his wife, Becky Lynn, his children; daughter Darcy Lynn with Mark Wold, and son Casey Lynn and wife Morgan; his grandchildren, Kaiden Culbertson, Tucker Lynn and Bryer Lynn, and Mark's son Brooks Wold; and his mother and father-in-law, Buck and Betty Morris.
Terry was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Steve Lynn and his brother-in-laws, Micah Morris and John Morris.
Terry lived in Cortez until 2013 when he and his family relocated to Alexander, North Dakota. Terry worked for PTW Energy Services in Alexander and was planning on retiring in July of 2019. Terry had a way with people; working with him was like working with family. Everyone he worked with thought of it as an extended family more than co-workers.
He was set to travel with his wife, Becky, and enjoy the life he had worked so hard to build. Terry passed away with a full heart; he said it nearly every day. He couldn't have been happier with how everything in his life was going right now.
The family would like to stress the dangers of distracted driving and the horrible effects it can have. Services are being handled through Ertel Funeral Home. To send condolences or to view the full obituary, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

My husband, Bob Akey worked with Terry in the 80's and we are so saddened to hear of his passing. He was always such a joy to be around and my favorite memory is how he always whistled wherever he went. It reminded me of my dad who also always did that. Bob loved working with Terry and Gary Black, such sadness. Our love. Jerrie Matthews

Terry was a little brother to the Sharp kids. So many memories we have and thankful for them.
We are at a loss for words on loosing Terry from your lives. I loved his political views, his posts of the grandkids having fun, and just seeing how happy he was. He made a beautiful family and thrived with you Becky, you have two of the best kids ever.
I followed Casey and his wrestling, and Darcy serving me at lotsa pasta.
I am so sorry he has left this life he loved so much.
We love him still, and wish all of you peace and comfort.
With love to each of you,

Terry was a great man and made us feel like we were family even with knowing him for a short bit of time. He made us feel like we have known each other for years. He will truly be missed.
