Jimmy Lynn Greer of Heber City, Utah passed away unexpectedly on May 24, 2026.
Lynn was born on February 4, 1961 in Heber City, Utah to Jimmy Lynn Greer and Marie Thomas Greer. He married the love of his life, Diann Barney on August 18, 1995. Together they created a beautifully blended family with seven children.
Lynn’s father taught him the value of hard work and the importance of routine maintenance at the family service station Greer Oil on Main Street at a young age. Those lessons learned early in life stuck with him, and he always took so much pride in taking care of everything and everyone around him. He kept his trucks, home, and yard in tip-top shape at all times and often could be found polishing his truck until every square inch would shine. Lynn adored his wife Diann, and he took such delight in taking care of her and always made sure that she had what she needed and felt loved.
Lynn was a firefighter, first as a volunteer firefighter, then later as full-time firefighter EMT. He served the valley in this capacity for 30 plus years, and although the responsibility of that service to the community weighed heavy on him at times, he cherished the lifelong friendships made, and the time he spent in service of the community was one of the parts of the job that he loved. He hung up his firefighting gear in 2021 and spent the last several years working for Jordanelle Special Service District. There, he found joy in driving dump truck and took pride in keeping his truck meticulously maintained and clean. He genuinely cared for the people he worked with and treasured the friendships he built through out his working career.
Lynn had many hobbies including building model trucks, cars, and diesels fabricating many intricate parts and small details to make them as realistic as possible. He loved classic cars and trucks, and he loved the time he spent rebuilding a 1986 Chevy Blazer, which he enjoyed taking to car shows. He loved riding his Harley Davidson and going on rides with his wife Diann on their scooters. Lynn was the life of the party and was the ultimate host. He enjoyed having family over and made sure that everyone was having a good time and had a drink in their hand. He and his beloved wife, Diann loved to travel and they took many trips. They loved spending time in the St. George sunshine, went to Disneyland often, and adored outings to Colorado to ride the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, but his favorite trips were spent on a cruise ship. When they weren’t traveling, Lynn could be found working in his yard making sure that his grass and flower beds looked perfect. When the chores were done, Lynn and Diann would grab a drink, sit in their lawn chairs in the sunshine in their driveway, and Lynn would give a wave to all the neighbors who drove past.
Lynn loved his family deeply, they meant the world to him. He was so proud of his grandkids and especially enjoyed supporting them in their 4-H projects.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but the lives he touched in his time on this earth will forever be brighter from having known him.
Lynn was preceded in death by his parents, Jimmy and Marie Greer.
He is survived by his best friend and wife, Diann Barney Greer; his children, Karrie Greer, Tiffany (Victor) Sambel, Lauden Greer, and Colden (Cheyan) Greer; step-children, Mae (Trent) Mair, Brad (Lori) Smith and Lee (Amanda) Smith; and grandchildren, Brianna, Olivia, Vivienne, Kaleb, Caydence, Dawson, Waylon, Presley, Berkley, Layla, Adele, Westlee, and Rylan; siblings, Carla (Danny) Webb and Tom (Burlene) Greer.
