Obituary

Lynn Taylor Boomer, age 78, passed away peacefully on Thursday April 26, 2018 at St. Anthony's Hospital in Oklahoma City. He was born July 2, 1939 in Shamrock, Texas to Bert and Athlyn Boomer. He was a 1957 graduate of Hereford High School where he was president of the student body and earned an Eagle Scout rank. He went on to attend Texas Tech University and graduated from Oklahoma State University with a double major in Agricultural Economics and Animal Husbandry. He married Kay Robertson on January 20, 1963. After a few years of farming and ranching in New Mexico, Texas, and Southern Oklahoma, Kay and Lynn with their young sons, Marsh and Kurt, moved to Shattuck, Oklahoma in 1973. Lynn established and managed Shattuck Farms and pioneered center-pivot irrigation in Northwest Oklahoma. When Braum's acquired the company in the 1980s, Lynn continued to oversee operations. Lynn was asked to serve as State Secretary of Agriculture in Governor Bellmon's administration; he declined the appointment in order to keep his family in Shattuck. Lynn's love of his community inspired him to serve on the Shattuck School Board, impact youth through Christian ministry, and care for those in need. For decades he was dedicated to the Ellis county jail ministry where he held weekly Bible studies. Lynn had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. Lynn lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: visiting with friends, golfing, traveling, reading and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Lynn is survived by his wife Kay of 55 years; son Marsh Boomer and his wife Jan of Bartlesville; son Kurt Boomer and his wife Ashley of Collinsville; four grandchildren Taylor, Susanna, Seth, and Grayson Boomer.; sister Margaret Oliver (Robert); sister-in-law Carolyn Hopkins (Lynn); two nephews and one niece. He was preceded in death by his father, Bert Boomer, and his mother, Athlyn Boomer.
