He was preceded in death by his parents and first wife, Alene Wynn.

Mr. Wynn was born Dec. 23, 1943, in Lamar, to Bert and Viola (Brown) Wynn. He grew up on a farm in Lamar and was the youngest of 13 siblings. He went to college at Midwestern Baptist Seminary. He married Alene and had a daughter, Andrea. Their marriage ended in 1975 and he moved to California in 1977 to open a store for Brunson Instrument Company (KCMO). Years later he decided to start his own business, Allsurv Instrument Company. He met Esther in 1981 and they started a printing business, ASI, in 1984. He became very successful, working with major companies such as BART and Google. He played an instrumental role in the building of Silicon Valley and developing San Jose, Calif. into the city it is today.

He worked almost every day of his life until the progression of his ALS became prohibitive in 2022. He enjoyed spending time fishing in Loreto, Mexico and being with his family and friends. He was loved and admired by his customers, the people at his favorite restaurant Omegas and all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
