Christopher A.

Lykins

Chris Lykins, 46 years old of Florence, KY passed on Tuesday evening, April 23, 2024. Chris was surrounded by the love of his family and close circle of friends for the last several weeks before his passing. A civil engineer by trade, Chris began his career in Lexington, KY before moving to Cincinnati where he worked his way up the ladder. Some of his favorite work was done as a land surveyor and had fun pointing out other surveyors to his family thereby showing them what he used to do.

When Chris & Julie met, they found a love they didn't think was possible in a second marriage. He immediately fell in step with Julie's large family and enjoyed spending time with any and all of them. He was a wonderful father to his son Zach, Julie's daughter, Lainey, and their son together, Cooper. Each held their own special place in his heart. Chris showed Zach his love of cars and taught him how to work on engines and change oil. Lainey was his baby girl and always treated her like his own. He taught Cooper how to play sports and enjoyed going to his games.

Chris had an easy going way about him that simply made him likeable  He had a knack for easy conversation and enjoyed talking with old and new friends. He had a great relationship with his parents and was still very close with both of them. For fun, Chris worked on anything with a motor. He was in the middle of restoring a BMW motorcycle that belonged to his dad and enjoyed helping his friend work on his Mustang next door. If not in the garage, you could find Chris in his happy place…the golf course.

Chris will be deeply missed by Julie, his wife of 12 years; his children Zachary, Lainey, and Cooper; his parents Brenda & Tom Lykins; his brother Michael Lykins; and many dear friends.

A celebration honoring Chris' life will be held at a later date. Please consider donating to Zach, Lainey, and Cooper's education fund.
