Lynwood Curtis “Lyn” Cannon, age 87, formerly of rural Lakeview, Michigan, passed away early Wednesday morning, July 8, 2026 at his home in Greenville, Michigan under the loving care of his daughters and Heartland Hospice.

The son of Valmore George & Bethel Estella (Sanders) Cannon, he was born on October 20, 1938 at his parents first home in Douglass Township, moving later to Cannonsville Road south of Lakeview. Lyn graduated from Lakeview High School and on December 10, 1960, at the First Congregational Church in Greenville, he married the former Janice JoAnn Weber. Together they raised three daughters, farmed, and enjoyed 50 years of marriage until Janice passed away on March 26, 2011. He was also preceded in death by his parents.
