Lynn Dell Kraaima, 52, passed away on his birthday May 25, 2010 at his home in Roy, Utah in the arms of his eternal companion and surrounded by his family after a short battle with complications of OTC Deficiency.

He was born to John Dell Kraaima and Diane Bourne Kraaima on May 25, 1958 in Ogden, Utah and grew up in Washington Terrace with his three brothers. He graduated from Bonneville High School in 1976 and served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to the Florida, Tallahassee Mission from 1978-1980.

In 1984, he married Tarina Chase in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They had two children, Chase Steven and Heather Lynn. The marriage later ended in divorce.

In 2006, he met his best friend and eternal companion, Tina Marie Dupre'' and they were married in the Jordan River LDS Temple on July 20, 2007. With this marriage, Lynn inherited five more children and six (eventually eight) grandchildren who adored him. He was well known for his "Grandpa''s Amazing Fridge". He was also known as "The Otter Pop Man" among the neighborhood kids.

He was a devoted employee of Weber State University for 29 years where he worked in a variety of settings, ending with his present position as Facilities Coordinator of Student Affairs. This would have been his 30th year "lighting up the W" for Homecoming Week. He was also a Licensed Electrician.

Lynn loved his Heavenly Father, Tina and their family, and golf. He was very enthusiastic about Family History and spent much of the last year doing Temple Work for departed ancestors.
