He was the 2nd of 7 children, born July 16, 1930, in Sugar City, ID to Ray Devine and Tacy Mildred Ogden Thueson. Lynn attended elementary and high school in Rigby, ID. He grew up on a farm where he learned the value of hard work, a trait he passed onto his children. At 91 years old, he still worked in the garden at their one-acre home. He met and married his high school sweetheart, Deloris Elizabeth Taylor. They were married on June 10th, 1949, in the Idaho Falls Temple. Six months after Lynn and Deloris were married, he served a 2-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints in the Southern States. At the age of 63, Lynn and Deloris faithfully served a couples-mission in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, and Pakistan.

They moved to Parma, ID in 1997 to live out their retirement close to family. Lynn was an avid sports fan, particularly loving the BYU Cougars and Boise State Broncos.
