John Lyons, avid NASCAR fan

John Lyons, 83, of Millsboro, passed away peacefully at his home the morning of Monday, May 23, 2022, surrounded by his loving family.

John is survived by his wife of 61 years, Louise Lyons, also of Millsboro; as well as his three children: John E. Lyons (Ellen Lyons), Michael Lyons and Catherine Lyons.   He is also survived by his six grandchildren: Nicholas Lyons, Kaitlin Knox, Morgan Lyons, Michael Lyons, Ryan Johnson and Ashley Lyons; in addition to his great-granddaughter, Lily Knox.
