Michael Kevin Linn

Michael Kevin Linn, 47, of Damascus, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 28, 2009. He was born in Oklahoma on Jan. 8, 1962. He was preceded in death by his father, Bobby Linn of Conway; his grandfather, Hershell Linn; his grandmother, Ova Linn Edwards of Damascus; his step-grandfather, Lamon Edwards; his maternal grandparents, J. C. and Gladys Hutson of Canute, Okla.

Mike's life changed six years ago when he accepted Christ as his Savior at the New Beginnings Ministry in Houston. He walked the walk daily and loved his lord. He was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church in Conway and was a salesman with Linn's Auto. He was a faithful member of the Men's Bible Study Fellowship and missed very few Monday nights, despite his battle with cancer.

He was diagnosed with cancer in November and his courageous battle to overcome it and his faith in God was truly an inspiration to all of us.

Mike is survived by his mother, Karen Linn of North Little Rock; a brother, Marty Linn of Little Rock and his wife Amy; nieces, Toni Linn and daughter Sidney of Port Orange, Fla., and Leslie Metze of Fairborn, Ohio, and her husband Joel and daughter, Charlie Jane. Other family members are a stepmother, Kathy Linn of Conway; and two sisters, Katherine Wood and her husband Travis of Fayetteville and Susan Woodard and her husband Steve of Clarksville; an uncle, Danny Linn and wife Linda of Conway; an aunt, Robbie Dace of El Paso; and an uncle, Gerald Hutson and his wife Ann of Texas; and a host of other family and friends.

Memorials can be made to New Beginnings, Houston, Calvary Baptist Church of Conway or the Faulkner County Humane Society.

The service will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway with the Rev. Lynn Mayall officiating. Interment will follow at Pine Mountain Cemetery in Damascus.

The family visitation will be from 6 to 7 p.m. today at the funeral home.
