Our prayers are with you, family and friends, as we thank our God for this loving man who treated everyone he met with respect as a friend.
I, too, am saddened by the news of Lynn's passing. I first met Lynn almost 20 years ago when I was a middle school baseball player with shoulder problems, and he continued to keep my body functioning through my high school track and cross country careers. He quickly became the secret to the Highland Park cross country and track teams' successes. Lynn was a great man that took a genuine interest in the lives of each of his clients. His smile and positive attitude was contagious.
People ask me if I could have anything different regarding my family: I respond "I would like to have grown up with a grandfather. Both my grandfathers died when I was very young. When I was in High School my body was beat to death between Football & Pole Vaulting. Lynn to me was my "Grandfather". Today, I remember Lynn by hugging me each time he greeted me at his front door. He not only kept my body in competing condition, but kept my spirit and sole in tact. Lynn was special to many people & he touched people spiritually. Lynn's sole and his love for people is what made him different from other therapist. He truly, was his patients' biggest fan. He wanted us all to succeed and his enter spirit is what kept me on the football field. I had a separated shoulder "on my throwing arm" most of the football season, and I had three appointments a week with Lynn. Like I said at the beginning, "He was a grandfather to me and my spiritual motivator. Without him not only would I've been watching from the sidelines, but I've would been without the greatest friend. Ty Hudnall
My husband and I were so sorry to hear about Lynn. He is truly one of our heroes. Had it not been for Lynn, our daughter would have been in constant pain through much of her high school years. Whenever he would work on her, it would soothe her soul as well as her body. We all loved that precious man and will be eternally grateful to him for his care. Lynn was a very special man.

I was so very saddened to hear the news that Lynn passed away on Tuesday. Lynn was a great man and I know that he is now in a better place. I first met Lynn when I was 14 years old. At that time, I was a young athlete (gymnast) who had dreams of being an Olympic gymnast. The summer after 8th-grade, I was diagnosed with a degenerative back condition and was told by the orthopedic surgeon I was seeing that I would either have to learn to live with the pain or give up gymnastics. THAT was obviously NOT what I wanted to hear! A physical therapist referred me to Lynn Worrall for massage therapy. After ONE, YES ONE, session I was pain free! For the next 4 years, I saw Lynn once a week or every other week. In large part because of Lynn, I was able to fulfill many of my athletic dreams. Although I never became an Olympian, I was able to compete for a premier collegiate gymnastic program that won 2 national championships in my 4-year collegiate career. I owe Lynn enormous gratitude for allowing me to fulfill my dreams. Lynn was like a grandfather to me – one of my biggest supporters. My life would have taken drastically different turns if it weren't for Lynn Worrall. My condolences to Lynn's son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. He always spoke so highly of you all. You were his pride and joy. Lynn will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers will be with you in the coming days and weeks, Peter
Lynn Worrall was a giving man who cared very deeply for his family, friends, and clients. I cannot put into words the difference that Lynn Worrall made in my life. He not only helped me with his expert hands throughout the twilight years of my competitive career but he was my friend. Craig, Rita, John, Melissa, Scott, Mark, Sterling, Madeleine, Di, and Luke, my heartfelt thoughts are with you as you grieve the loss of your Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa and Father-in Law. No doubt Lynn Worrall will continue to live in the hearts and minds of all whose lives he touched over the years.
We are so sorry to hear of Lynn's death and offer our sincere condolences to his family. Lynn was a kind and caring friend to us and to our daughters. We first met Lynn when our daughter Lauren decided to add cross country and track to her basketball career at Highland Park High School. She was given two important tips by a teammate: (1) find a good chiropractor, and (2) find Lynn Worrall. Lynn helped put Lauren and many of her teammates back together before and after cross country and track meets those two years, and, along the way, the team won two cross country state championships and several team and individual track championships. Lauren went on to college at Columbia University in New York City, where she was captain of the cross country and track teams and the team appeared in two NCAA Finals Cross Country Campionships. When we asked Lauren if she had a good massage therapist in New York, she replied, "Yes, but, of course, he is not as good as Lynn." A few years later our youngest daughter Callan had an ankle injury that threatened her basketball season. We took her to see Lynn, he examined her ankle and said, "I think I can help." She never missed a game and finished the season as the leading scorer among private school basketball players in the Dallas area. Lynn was truly blessed with a gift for healing. Above all else, he was always concerned about our daughters' health and wellbeing. We feel so fortunate to have known Lynn.
Lynn Worrall was my friend, and one who knew how to get my body and heart out of pain. He listened, loved, and cared for every individual whom he met. Undivided attention and always his best, is what he delivered. After major surgery at Baylor Hospital, I could not get comfortable. Lynn came to the hospital to work on my back. It resulted in being able to lie on my back, heal sooner, and go home earlier. He then came to my home, and continued to recommend stretches and exercise during my recovery. I would count Lynn, as one of the kindest, most optimistic, positive, God centered people I've ever met. He changed my life, by living his faith, and "enduring the race set before him." I'm glad to know he is Home with Sallie, and his two children, who preceded him. His smile and laughter, warm my heart, and I give thanks for knowing Lynn Worrall.
My Grandfather always had amazing life stories he would go on and on for hours about. He was i think the most hadsome 80 year old man, He just glowed. His Son Craig is my father and ill tell ya what My Papa Lynn Loved his children and grandchildren. Sterling, my Brother, and I always shared great memories with Papa. I Love you Papa. Rest In Peace, Say hello to Sally for me. With All Love And Care, Madeleine Worrall
