Thomas Lynch

Thomas James Lynch, 71, of Lincolnton passed away Friday, January 12, 2024, at his home. Born March 16th, 1952, he was the son of the late Thomas James Lynch and Margaret Lynch. Thomas was part of the 1970 graduating class of MacArthur High School in Levittown, NY where he was known as a skilled football player. He was also known for his band, Lynch and the Little Men in which he was the drummer. Thomas and his band members even had a motorcycle group called the Nomads of Seaford in which they enjoyed cruising the streets of Long Island, NY. However, Thomas held the most pride in his achievements in the military as an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper and Vietnam Veteran. In his later years, Thomas enjoyed spending time with his daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, always finding a way to make everyone laugh. He will forever be remembered as "Pop," the funniest and sweetest grand-dad, as he returns home to be with his beloved wife and cherished son.

He is survived by his daughter Victoria Lynch-Field (Donavon) of Landrum, SC; a son-in-law Kevin Field of Sylva, NC; four sisters Debbie of Florida, Peggy of Florida, Bobbie of Florida, and Jerry of Tennessee; five grandchildren Tommy (David) of Gaffney, SC, Christian (Emily) of Whittier, NC, Justin of Lincolnton, NC, Brian (Kayla) of Moore, OK, and Elizabeth of Florida; six great-grandchildren Addi, Eli, Kylah, Grayson, Charlotte, and Aurora; his beloved dog Michelle; and many good friends that loved he dearly.

In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife Patricia Lynch; and a son Dennis Scott Lynch.

The family will be having a small private memorial service at a later date. Please reach out to the family for more details.
