Lynn Gene Crossin 

Aug 8, 1962 - Sep 26, 2024

Lynn Gene Crossin Jr., 62, died Thursday, Sept. 26. He was born on August 8, 1962, and preceded in death by his beloved mother Sharon (Zimmerman) Crossin and father, Lynn G. Crossin Sr.

Lynn is survived by his treasured aunt, two brothers, eight children, of whom he was immensely proud, many grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong friends. Lynn graduated from Springfield High School in 1980 and began working at Pillsbury Mills while pursuing his dream of becoming an IBEW Lineman. He served his apprenticeship with L.E. Meyers becoming one of the top bid job hands in Illinois. He worked for CWLP and then went on to build/repair substation and transmission lines all across the country as foreman, general foreman and job superintendent. He was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 51 for over 40 years.

He returned home to finish out his career working for Asplundh Construction and O'dell Trucking. Impacting many lives throughout his well-deserved career, many can agree that their lives were positively impacted by knowing him. Lynn was an avid American history buff, loved horses, and always had great compassion for those in need.

In lieu of flowers, Memorial contributions may be made to the non-profit National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen which is dedicated to assisting families of fallen or injured IBEW Linemen. https://nsujl.org/ Daws Family Funeral Home in South Jacksonville is in charge of arrangements.
