I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith II Timothy 4 KJV On the morning of December 17, 1956, Wimberly Lynn “Lynnie” Higgs was born in Brooklyn, NY. He was greeted by his mother Dolores, his father Joseph, and his sister Cynthia. At an early age Lynnie attended Bethany Baptist Church in Brooklyn, NY and eventually joined the youth group where he earned a leadership role along with his good friend Rev. Al Sharpton who now heads the National Action Network, a national Civil Rights Movement. While attending New School High School, Lynnie was inspired to further enhance his leadership skills. During his senior year of high school, he became the student body president, and he was the valedictorian of his graduating class. He delivered the valedictorian and student president address for his graduating class. After high school, Lynnie enrolled at Hunter College in New York, NY and majored in Political Science. He later relocated to Washington, D.C. and enrolled at the University of D.C. with the same major. While attending college in D.C., Lynnie worked as a classroom assistant at the Christ Child Institute for emotionally disturbed children in Rockville, MD. Lynnie decided to pursue his passion of Law and enrolled in the Antioch Program for Paralegals where he received his Paralegal certification and then his associates degree some years later. Lynnie moved to Oak City, NC to pursue new endeavors but shortly after his move he was afflicted by an incurable disability and on January 13, 2022, he passed from this world and leaves his five nieces, Mattie, Veronica, Juanita, Centra & Samantha; a host of great nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:3-4 KJV
