Wayne Lynch passed away on Sunday February 4, 2024 at Reid Health in Richmond at the age of 79.  Wayne was born in Sandgap, Kentucky on September 5, 1944.  He was the son of the late Wiley and Allie Lynch.

He retired in 2006 after 19 years of service at Ford/Visteon.  Prior to Ford/Visteon, he worked for 20 years at National Metal.  When not working, you could find him going to car shows, mowing his grass, or sitting on his porch listening to bluegrass music.  In his younger days, he enjoyed hunting and fishing.  Wayne lived a simple life, and his most valuable treasure was the time he spent with his family.

On October 11, 1980, he was united in marriage to the former Debbie Harsh.  They shared 43 years of marriage.

In addition to his wife, he will live in the hearts and memories of his four children, Heather (Chad) Cranfill, Tammy Lynch, Travis (Melissa Painter) Lynch and Eric (Sarah) Lynch; grandchildren, Makayla Cranfill, Maranda Cranfill, Matthew Cranfill, Regan Cranfill, Thomas (Lacey) Byrley, Britney (Jake) Lucas, Dillon (Cierra) Miller, Owen Miller, and Quentin Lynch; and great grandchildren, Jonah and Uriah Lucas and Veronica Byrley.  He is also survived by his brothers, Jr. (LaDonna) Lynch and Glendon Lynch; a sister, Ruby Burke; as well as several nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he is preceded in death by three brothers, Elmo, Lonnie and Wendell Lynch and a great granddaughter, Jocelyn Gesell.

Friends may visit with the family on Monday evening, February 12, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Urban Winkler Funeral Home, 513 W 8th Street.  Funeral services will be conducted at the funeral home on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, at 11:00 am.  Wayne will be laid to rest at Springersville Cemetery.
