  Lynn E. Mease 
  
  CRESTLINE, CA Mr. Lynn Edward Mease, 67, died June 11, 2011, at Arrowhead 
  Regional Medical Center in Colton, Calif., after a valiant, nearly four-year-
  long battle against cancer. Born April 4, 1944, and reared in Lebanon, he was 
  the son of Harvey E. Mease and the former Mary A. Parks. Soon after high 
  school graduation, Mr. Mease served his country for 21 years in the United 
  States Marine Corps, including seeing combat in Vietnam. He was an Engineer 
  Equipment Chief for more than eight years, then a Drill Instructor who worked 
  on the Drill Field for four years, an Inspector and Instructor in Salem, 
  Oregon for seven years, before retiring at the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant 
  in 1984. His USMC awards included Rifle Expert Badge, Pistol Expert Badge, 
  National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam 
  Cross of Gallantry with Palm and Gold Frame, Combat Action Ribbon, Meritorious 
  Mast, Good Conduct Medal, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, Certificate of 
  Appreciation Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Commendation Civil Actions 
  Color (First Class), and Rifle Division Bronze Medal. He succeeded in a number 
  of training courses and schools while in the service, and he also completed 
  some college in the civilian world. Not long after his retirement from the 
  military, Mr. Mease joined the Teamsters Union #166 and was a Union Steward 
  and Driver who worked on public works projects including construction of two 
  large dams in California and pipelines in Arizona and California. He pursued 
  this career, which often necessitated extremely long drives and long hours, 
  for another 21 years, retiring in 2009. A former longtime resident of Rialto, 
  Calif., Mr. Mease moved to Crestline full time in 2008 after having maintained 
  a weekend residence for a few years before that. In retirement, he was a 
  regular classroom volunteer at the elementary school where his two youngest 
  grandchildren, Joshua and Nicholas, attend. Mr. Mease was known for his 
  enthusiasm for professional sports, his strong work ethic, his handyman 
  skills, his definite opinions, and most importantly, his love for his family, 
  friends, country, and his Lord and Savior. Mr. Mease attended the Lutheran 
  Church in Rialto, and the Baptist Church in Crestline with his family. Some of 
  his favorite conversational expressions were, "Get over it!," "Well, 
  howdy!" "Whatever makes you happy," and "Your perception is your reality." Mr. 
  Mease is survived by his wife, Rena "Ricki" Estvander-Mease; son, Shawn Mease 
  and daughter-in-law, Char Mease of Colorado; his daughter, Melissa Laizure and 
  son-in-law, James of Crestline; stepson, Brent Estvander and his wife, Jackie, 
  of San Bernardino, Calif.; stepdaughter, Judy Long of Victorville, Calif.; 
  grandchildren, Miranda Ewing and husband, Dan, Michael Mease and wife, Leesa,

  Nicholas Laizure, great-grandson, Ryan; brother, Neal Thomas Mease, Sr. and 
  his family; cousin, Harry "Butch" Fox and his family, all of Lebanon. Mr. 
  Mease was preceded in death by his parents and by his stepson, Jim Long, Jr. 
  of Victorville.
