I really enjoyed working with Lynn at Sprint. He was always willing to help on a service issue, even when it wasn't for an account assigned to him. I loved his relaxed approach to work - it helped me calm down. I'm glad I got to know Lynn, even if it was over the phone.

I am so saddened by this loss of life. I met Lynn for the first time ever last year at our Network Service Manager reunion in Ft. Worth. Lynn was a larger than life figure. Both literally and figuratively. His demeanor was one that was full of life; and passion for life and others. It was evident that this was a man who has experienced life on every level from the greatest of times to the worst of times. My heart is heavy as I know that his departure is leaving a huge void in his family. You CANNOT replace a Lynn McKennon. My desire and prayer is that God will grant the McKennon family strength and peace to deal with this but also renew their focus and determination to carry on Lynn's legacy by living and dedicating themselves to life such as did Lynn. This is how they will ensure that his life is celebrated to the fullest. You will be remembered my friend. Rest in Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!!! I have been with Sprint almost as long as Lynn was with Sprint. He was always upbeat, positive and ALWAYS, ALWAYS willing to help. Whether you called Lynn during a weekday, in the middle of the night or early in the morning. He would ALWAYS, ALWAYS answer the phone and jump into the middle of the problem. He would also call to just say hello with a quick email with pictures of his latest fishing trip. We talked fishing before every call as that is what is truly important. Lynn had one of the most unforgiving jobs at Sprint. When his phone rang, 99% of the time it wasn't somebody saying hello, it was somebody needing his help. I know that those calls many times came during family time. I wanted to Thank You for sharing your father and grand-father with us during those times. He will be truly missed by the Sprint Family and my heart is very heavy. God Bless All of You. Fish-on Lynn!!!.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. My heart is absolutely broken. I partnered with Lynn for the majority of my 30 year career at Sprint. He was the most incredible colleague, always willing to help. No matter what. But more than that, Lynn was my friend. We traveled together for years to Sysco's across the US. While my heart is heavy, I smile at the incredible memories we shared together. From getting lost in California trying to find a remote Sysco location, to Lynn acting as my body guard on most trips, Lynn was truly one of a kind. May God bless you all during this difficult time.
