Towers Honor Legacy of West Virginia’s Kincaid ‘Linc’ Lincoln

Towers communed with the friends and family of Kincaid ‘Linc’ Lincoln, co-owner of Dragon Recovery in Rustburg, West Virginia, honoring his life with a tow procession.  

Lincoln died in a towing accident attempting to tow a vehicle when the car lost traction and pinned him underneath. 

Those closest to him led a procession of tow trucks from Dragon Recovery to Whitten Timberlake Chapel in his honor. Drivers in the procession said it was an act of brotherhood between tow truck drivers. 

Travis Johnson, a tow truck driver, said, “It's a tough thing that he's gone, but you know, with everybody gathered here today, it just shows that the legacy will still go on and we'll still carry his name for as long as a tow truck is able to move around the highway.” 

Dozens of drivers participated in the procession, many echoing the same message. 

Please move over when you see them on the side of the road," Susan Hall, the co-owner of Dragon Recovery, said. "They want to go home to their families too. 

Drivers said Linc would do anything for anyone and is leaving behind a legacy of kindness. 

He always had a smile on his face, he always loved what he did... he always loved that truck," Johnson said. "We all have a legacy we want to leave behind, but you know, this isn't the way we want to do it. 

Hall said the goal of their business was to put respect in what could be someone's worst day, getting towed or repossessed, and she thinks Linc did just that. 

"Linc made a difference in people's lives, because when he would repo something, he showed respect and honor to them, because everybody goes through something," Hall said. 

They said he'll be deeply missed at Dragon Recovery and throughout the community.
