He passed away April 21, 2006 at Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of 66 years.

"Rooster" has worked as a Truck Driver most of his life and was 'at home' on the road. Trucking was what he loved most. For the past 24 years he has been with Martin Trucking out of Hugoton, Kansas. He has become very close to owners of the Trucking Company, Doug, Jim and Will. He always looked forward to the time he could go through that area just to stop in and visit with them. He also enjoyed coming to the home of "his Sissie", Imogene, and telling a new joke to her and his children that he had heard 'on the road'. He'd relax by watching John Wayne movies. Terry Lynn was a very kind hearted man who above all else loved and enjoyed his grandchildren.
