Gregory K. Lincoln II 1975-2018

NILES — Gregory K. “Kenny” Lincoln II, 42, of Niles, passed away suddenly on Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018, at St. Joseph Warren Hospital.

The son of Gregory K. and Barbara L. Alexander Lincoln was born on Dec. 23, 1975, in Youngstown. He graduated from LaBrae High School in Levittsburg and was known by his many friends as Kenny.

He was employed by Venture Plastics in Newton Falls as a Processor Technician. Kenny’s friends and family called him a “Gentle Giant” who loved to make people laugh and was always ready to help those in need.

He loved family get-togethers, celebrations, picnics and those special family trips often referred to as “Family Adventures.” Kenny enjoyed bowling, golfing, Putt-Putt golf with his children, hunting, and fishing with his daughter Isabelle at Mosquito Creek Lake. He was an avid fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes and Pittsburgh Steelers and could be found watching either team each weekend during the football season.

On May 17, 2003, Kenny married Jaqueline Cope Lincoln of Warren and together, they shared a happy family that includes his surviving wife, Jacqui Lincoln; daughter, Isabelle “Belle” Lincoln; son, Joseph “Gus” Lincoln; mother and stepfather, Barb and Paul Michael Gaydosh; father and stepmother, Greg and Barb Lincoln; sisters, Erica Brown, Stephanie Lincoln, Shanna (Chuck) Watson, Tiffany (Rosner) Triol; brother, Wayne (Melissa) Watson; stepsisters, Tracy Braun, and Dorothea Burke; stepbrother, Michael Hynst; aunt, Teresa Fry McCarthy; and uncles, John Alexander, and David Gaydosh.

Kenny is also survived by his extended family and friends: sister-in-law, Lynne Ritter; brothers-in-law, Gus Cope, James Cope and Todd Cope, Josh Cope, Matt (Patty Kelley) Cope; sister-in-law, Angi (Brad) Cope-Lineweaver; and countless nieces, nephews, numerous aunts and uncles of his wife and close colleagues and friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Larry and Paula Cope; and mother-in-law, Sally Cope.

All who knew him are welcome to join the family from 4 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018, at McFarland-Barbee Family Funeral Home, with the funeral service to follow at 7:30 p.m.

The family is requesting family and friends to wear something of the Steelers or Ohio State, in honor of the teams that Kenny loved, to his family’s gathering.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to his children’s college education fund or to the American Cancer Society.

Arrangements have been entrusted to McFarland-Barbee Family Funeral Home, 271 N. Park Ave., Warren, Ohio 44481.
