John Holgar Lyngso passed away peacefully on December 25, 2025, at the age of 97.
John lived life fully and with a lot of love and laughter. He left a lasting legacy—through his family, his stories, the family business, and the many lives he touched.
And if you were lucky enough to spend time with him, chances are you left with a smile and a story you’d never forget.
Please join us for an open house to honor a life built with purpose, resilience, and heart.
