Lynn McCoig Obituary

Lynn Taylor McCoig

March 11, 2025

Lynn Taylor McCoig, 75, joined his bride fully restored, March 11, 2025. Lynn had a colorful career and eventually finished his employment as a department manager at a popular retail department store. He was an inspiration to all, surviving 20 years of cancer diagnoses, heart failure, amputation and multiple surgeries, while maintaining his notorious jovial spirit. His heart was full of love, light, and music but it could not withstand the loss of his bride of 52 years.

Lynn was preceded in death by his wife and soul mate of 52 years, Pat McCoig; his parents, Taylor and Maxine McCoig; and infant brother, Rodney McCoig.

Survivors include daughter, Amber and husband James "Matt" Harrison of Knoxville; his "Hot Rod" cherished grandson, Taylor Harrison; sister, Carolyn Sumner and husband, Charles; nieces, Brie Keys and husband Bill, and Katie Allen and husband Bo; special aunt, Faye White and other extended loved ones. Also surviving are special friends, Steve and Judy Almaroad, Allen and Gloria Castle, Sam and Susie Jones, and Darla Patterson.

Services for Lynn will be announced at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hunger First, 1697 Lynn Garden Dr., Kingsport, TN 37665, First Broad Street United Methodist Church Breakfast Ministry, 100 E. Church Circle, Kingsport, TN 37660, Concord United Methodist of Knoxville – Mission Fund at concordunited.org/give, or charity of your choice.
