Lynn Neil Kohler

Lynn “Bink” Neil Kohler, age 57, passed away on November 8, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and stories that will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him.

Bink was born in Heber City, Utah, Jan 3 1969 to Neil and Jane Kohler and grew up in the beautiful town of Midway, Utah. He graduated from Wasatch High School and always held a special love for the Wasatch Mountains and the places he called home.

Throughout his life, Bink worked many jobs and made memories along the way. His work took him to Shadow Ridge, Minot, North Dakota, and 801 in Salt Lake City, where he helped run concerts and parking. He was never one to be easily forgotten. Bink was quite the character, with a personality all his own, and he had a way of making life a little more interesting wherever he went.

He loved the outdoors, especially fishing, spending time in the Wasatch Mountains, and taking walks along the Jordan River. Some of his happiest moments were spent with his grandchildren. He especially loved taking them on scavenger hunts, always managing to find all sorts of treasures along the way. To him, it wasn't just about what they found, but the memories made and the time spent together.

One of the most important people in Bink's life was his son, Jake, who was not only his son but also his best friend. Though Bink and Tammie Sorenson, Jake's mother, later divorced, they remained close friends and continued to share an important connection.

Bink leaves behind his son and best friend, Jake; his beloved grandchildren, Rachel, Aurora, Kaydence, Zenika, Hurrikane, and Kash; his sister, Debbie (Brent) Anderson; his brothers, Brent (Shawna) Willard (Shauna) his aunt, Judy Muir; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Neil and Jane Kohler.

Bink's life was one of its own kind. He was a character, a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, and a friend. He leaves behind stories to be told, memories to be shared, and treasures that cannot be measured or replaced. His grandchildren will always have their scavenger hunts, his family will always have their memories, and those who knew him will never forget him.

Rest easy, Bink. May the mountains you loved always be your peace, and may the memories you left behind live on forever. You will be missed more than words can say.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Details will be announced by the family
