He was preceded in death by his parents and his daughter Tina Sorrells. Lyman was a faithful member of the LDS Church and dutifully served a number of callings. He spent most of his working career in the floor covering industry. He owned his own businesses for many years, and always had an entrepreneurial spirit. Later in life he sold his business and went to work for RC Willey, and worked there until his retirement in 2015. Everyone in the area knew that you called Lyman anytime you needed carpet. Lyman loved the outdoors and spent countless hours camping, fishing, hunting, or simply "going to check things out". He was an accomplished horseman and roper, and loved being around horses and rodeo. Most importantly Lyman was and incredible father and grandfather. He had such an incredible way of making each individual child feel that they were "his favorite". He loved nothing more than spending time with the kids, usually going for rides on the pony cart or the ranger. Lyman always had a story or a joke and loved to laugh. He could always find humor in any situation and would light up a room with his jovial spirit. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
