He was a proud veteran of both the U.S Air Force and the U.S Navy. Lyndon attended Nicolette H.S in Glendale, WI and attended college for a while. He worked as a transport driver for shows, concerts, conventions and could keep you entertained with stories about celebrities he had met along the way. Lyndon loved to laugh, travel, his “Harley”, trucks and especially his service dog “Sassy”. He was in the process of moving from a campground in Astor, FL to a house in Lake Placid, FL when the cancer and multiple other health issues worsened. Lyndon died peacefully in his mother’s home in Sebring, FL under hospice care with his loving mother at his bed side. Graveside service with military honors will be held at a later date. Interment will be at Bushnell National Cemetery, Bushnell, FL.
