It is with profound sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Mark S. Lynn of Princeton, Kentucky, formerly of Henderson, on April 28th, 2026, at 4:15 p.m.
Born on January 4th, 1952, in Henderson, Kentucky, Mark Lynn was the son of J.T. and Minnie Lynn. He dedicated 40 years of his career as an Aluminum worker at Alcan Aluminum, where he held various positions and cultivated numerous friendships.
Known for his vibrant personality, Mark had a passion for outdoor pursuits, including spending time in the woods and at Lake J. Lee (Lake Pewee) with his wife, children, and grandchildren, as well as enjoying truck rides with his dog, Dexter. He also looked forward to annual vacations with Debbie and Bobbie Bradford.
A memorable phrase often attributed to him was, “Well let me tell ya.” He previously served as a board member for HMP&L and the United Way. He was also recognized as a Kentucky Colonel and a 32° Mason. Mark will be remembered for his kindness, humor, generosity, and love.
