Lynn Edward Dubach, 70, of Berne, died peacefully in his sleep on Wednesday, June 29, 2022, at Swiss Village.
He was born Sept. 7, 1951, in Decatur, to Glen E. Dubach and Grace Mosser Dubach. His parents preceded him in death.
Lynn graduated from South Adams High School in 1971. He retired from Kroger’s in Bluffton after 25 years of service. Before then, he had worked at EPC in Geneva for 19 years. Lynn attended Cross Community Church and Grace Bible Church in Berne.
First and foremost, Lynn loved spending time with his family and had a tender spot for his nieces and nephews. He took great joy in being an uncle and great-uncle, or “gruncle” as Lynn had called it with an ever-present laugh.
He enjoyed being with people and spent many hours at the Adams County 4-H Fair, the Bluffton Street Fair, and Swiss Days during the summertime. He was well-known for the long evenings he spent talking and drinking coffee at the Berne McDonald’s — a hobby that followed him when he moved to the Swiss Village apartments.
He is survived by two brothers, Wallace (Joyce) Dubach of Columbia City and Robert (Susan) Dubach of Geneva; a sister, Becky (Jeff) Gaskill of Berne; eight nieces and nephews, Matthew (Brandi) Dubach, Christopher (Jennifer) Dubach, Bryan (Norine) Gaskill, Mandy (Clarence) Franklin, Jesse (Jamie) Gaskill, Joshua (Lori) Gaskill, Holly Gaskill, and Amelia Gaskill; and 11 great-nieces and great-nephews.
Lynn was also preceded in death by an infant brother, Brian Dubach.
A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 7, at the Zwick & Jahn Funeral Home, Yager-Kirchhofer Chapel in Berne, with Pastor Jeff Gaskill officiating. Burial will follow at the M.R.E. Cemetery in Berne.
A visitation for Swiss Village residents will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, July 7, 2022, in the Swiss Village Chapel. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday.
