Lionel “Chuck” Wynn, age 83, of Boulder, Montana passed away peacefully surrounded by his lovely wife, daughter, and son on August 17, 2019 in Leander, Texas.

Chuck was born May 23, 1936 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Lionel and Lillie Wynn. He grew up in San Diego, California sailing the bay, diving for abalone shells, and surfing between the piers. Chuck loved street racing his 1939 chopped and channeled Mercury coupe with a 1946 Cadillac grill. He helped found the Pacific Beach Amps car club and modified a 1940 Ford Woody station wagon with Mickey Thompson. He graduated from La Jolla High School in 1954.

The best decision of his life was made in December of 1954 when he climbed a ladder to his High School girlfriend’s bedroom. Under the cover of darkness, they eloped to Las Vegas resulting in 65 years of marital bliss to Jerré Louise.
