Lynn Taylor's Obituary
Lynn Taylor and his twin brother Lee were born on June 25, 1956. They grew up in Kearns, Utah, and attended Kearns High School. At the age of 66, Lynn left this mortal life on February 24, 2023, after patiently enduring several health challenges.
He met his best friend, Claudia, who was working in Magna, and they were the answer to each other’s prayers. They married on November 16, 2006, and made their home in Taylorsville, Utah.
Lynn worked for over 25 years at Kennecott Coppermine and retired from there as a Power Plant Operator. He also worked for Oasis Stage Lighting and was in charge of the light shows for various bands, travelling with them throughout the United States.
His greatest source of pride was his two daughters, Amy and Autumn. Amy’s children are Sierra, Janessa, and Mala. Lynn also has great grandchildren, Mateo and Tianalei. Autumn’s children are Isaac, Alyssa, and Gianna.
Lynn is survived by his siblings, Peggy Taylor Cook of California, Ron (wife Debbie) of Salt Lake City, John (wife Susan) of Salt Lake City, and Lee (wife Paula) of St George. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dawna and Wendell Taylor. Lynn is also survived by his stepson Justin (wife Carolyn) Hopkinson and children Kayleigh and Abby; also Brendon, Grace, and Conner.
In his younger years, Lynn enjoyed mountain biking and cross country biking, hiking and backpacking in the Uintas. When he worked at Kennecott, he and his friends had horses and often rode together. Lynn loved being outdoors, especially in the mountains.
