Obituary of Tim Francis Lynn

September 12, 1939 – Lethbridge, Alberta
December 13, 2022 – Calgary, Alberta

Timothy Lynn, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, at the age of 83 years.

Tim began his police career in Cardston Alberta in 1961 and moved to Calgary to join the Calgary Police Service in 1962. He walked the beat and was proud to care for the citizens of Calgary as a constable. He progressed in his career in various units including the Downtown District, General Investigations and Robbery and retired at the S/Sgt level. He was particularly proud of heading the Robbery Unit and was highly regarded for his expertise in that area. He investigated several high-profile cases with successful outcomes. 

Tim loved sports. He played, coached, and watched a variety of sports, but his favorite was always rugby. He played his last rugby game on his 60th birthday with his sons Sean and Paul, and his grandson TJ.

He spent many hours BBQing, cooking, baking, and sharing his delicious creations. Above all else he truly loved hosting family and friends on his back deck. His favorite toast to his family was “If you ain’t got family, you ain’t got nothing!”

He generously volunteered his time to the community in many ways including, feeding the hungry, driving seniors to appointments and was an active member of the Calgary Police Veterans Association.

Tim is survived by his loving wife Janice and his children, Sean and Michele Lynn, and their 8 children and 12 grandchildren; Teresa and Tim Potter, and their 4 children and 4 grandchildren; Paul and Stephanie Lynn, and their 3 children; and Colleen and Jay Barton, and their 4 children and 1 grandchild. 

To quote his oldest granddaughter Meghan, “He loved fiercely, worked tirelessly and lived fully!”

The family would like to express our sincere appreciation to Dr. Hunter and the nursing staff at the Peter Lougheed Emergency unit for their compassion and care.
