Lynwood Moses Busby was born October 25, 1947, in Donalsonville, Georgia, to Thomas Moses Busby and Donnie B. Phillips Busby. He proudly served in the United States Air Force. Lynwood was married to the love of his life, Linda Elaine Dollar Busby. He and Linda were married for 59 years. Lynwood worked as a Systems Analyst for B.A.S.F. until his retirement. He was a devoted member of the NRA and had all his credentials for teaching gun safety. He loved competing in shooting events and matches. He had property in Ellabell, Georgia, that he loved to visit and would reload all of his ammo for his next matches. He loved being out there and just cleaning up around the property or building things there. He was a member of the “17 South Rod and Gun Club” and enjoyed their activities. Lynwood was a member of the Church of Christ. He enjoyed riding motorcycles. Lynwood mostly enjoyed his family. He and Linda dearly enjoyed each other’s company; if she were away without him on business or with the children, he would be sitting outside waiting to welcome her home, even in the wee hours of the morning. He loved to make homemade ice cream for the grandchildren, and they loved for him to do just that. The family he loved so very much and his many friends will deeply miss Lynwood Busby.
Lynwood is survived by his wife, Linda Dollar Busby; children, Lyn Bryan Busby (Shelley), Leslie Neal Busby (Bonnie); bonus daughters, Melinda Dale Bass and Jean Busby; siblings, Mervin Busby (Carolyn), Garland Busby (Mary), and Mavis Busby; grandchildren, Bryan Busby, Brittany Landrum, Isis Busby, Evan Busby, Ellie Busby, Lainey Busby, Lee Busby, Larey Busby, Alissa Yaughn, and Neal Busby; seven great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
