Davis, Lynn
On May 4, 2009, Lynn passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving wife, Judy, and very close friends. He battled cancer with courage and strength, just as he lived his life. He was predeceased by his parents, Madeline and Harold Davis; mother-in-law, Rachel Luciak; and stepdaughter, Tracy Stewart.
Lynn was born in New Brunswick and was extremely proud of being a “Maritimer”. He loved to share stories of hunting and fishing trips on the lakes of N.B. His passion for the outdoors continued when he moved to B.C. in 1965, and he loved to mentor young people who grew to respect the outdoors because of Lynn’s teachings.
His career with Volkswagen began in St. Stephen, N.B., where he worked as a mechanic and partsman. When he moved to B.C., he continued his work as a partsman at four Volkswagen organizations, most recently retiring from Cowell Motors in 2004.
His gift of telling stories will live on in the people whose lives he touched. He was an extraordinary man, who was respected, and was always true to himself.
