Lindel Gene Bybee

Lindel Gene Bybee, 75, left his Earthly home in Jonesboro, Arkansas on December 28, 2017 to enter into his eternal Heavenly home. He was born April 11, 1942 in Mexico, Missouri to Leslie Eugene Bybee and Loretta Frances Rosenstingel Bybee. In 1960 he graduated from Englewood High School in Colorado. He spent the majority of his life as a master plumber and oil burner technician under the direction of his mentor, George Ray Sr. of Ray’s Plumbing and Heating in Ellsworth, Maine.

He loved to ski, hunt, fish, and play golf. He never got a hole in one; he never caught the big one. He never shot a trophy stag, but he did ski down some of the best slopes in the USA.

He spent 15 years of his life in Mesa, Arizona with his best friend Lore Lee K. Jenson of Grand Forks, North Dakota, who died on October 30, 2016. He loved her very much.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Michael Gene Bybee; and his brother, Loren Kenneth Bybee.

Lindel is survived by his sons, Kenneth Gene Hobba (Karen) of Bono, Arkansas and Timothy Arthur Bybee; daughter, Cheryl Louise Bybee MacLean (Tim) of Steuben, Maine. He has three granddaughters, three great grandchildren, and many friends.

Lindel will be laid to rest in Vandalia, Missouri.

In consideration of flowers, the family requests donation be made to Lindel’s church, Sedgwick Baptist Church, PO Box 137, Sedgwick, AR 72465.
