Lynn H. Lessmann

1/21/1950 - 4/22/2019

Lynn Herbert
Lessmann was born January 21, 1950 to Betty and Willis Lessmann in Wayne,
Nebraska. Lynn was baptized and confirmed at Grace Lutheran Church. He
graduated from Wayne Public Schools in 1969 where he played football, baseball,
and basketball. He continued with basketball at Wayne State College. Lynn
relished sharing these stories of past wins, losses, and lessons with his
children, teammates, and others.

On May 27,
1972, Lynn married Gloria Magnuson in Concord, Nebraska. The couple lived in
Omaha for a short time and then returned to northeast Nebraska to make Winside
their home. Lynn worked at Winside State Bank as banker, realtor, and insurance
agent for most of his career -- all of which he enjoyed. Lynn was actively
involved in his St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, school, youth programs, and
community boards and events. After 26 years, Lynn and his wife Gloria returned
to the Omaha area to Gretna, Nebraska. There he worked in real estate and
started Lessmann Insurance Agency, which he ran until his retirement. Lynn was
a member of several Gretna community groups and Good Shepherd Lutheran
Church.

Lynn is
remembered for his devout faith and his goodness as a husband, father, grandpa,
brother, uncle and friend to so many. An avid sports fan and outdoorsman, Lynn
enjoyed Husker football, Husker basketball, Cardinals baseball, local high
school sports, golfing, fishing, hunting, and sharing that enjoyment with
friends and family. In the spirit of giving, Lynn continues to give through the
donation of his body to research studies of frontotemporal dementia and
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at Mayo Clinic.

Lynn is preceded in death
by his parents, Willis and Betty Lessmann, and in-laws, Glenn and Irene
Magnuson and Arlen and Connie Magnuson. He is survived by his wife, Gloria
Lessmann; sons, Nathan Lessmann and Aaron Lessmann; daughter,
Susan Wagner; Grandchildren: Caleb, Easton, Delilah, Willis, Lucy, Elsie,
and James; brothers, Brendt Lessmann and Brian Lessmann;
