Lyndon was married to his wife, Annie Byers, and they shared one child, a son, together. Annie was the one who confirmed her late husband’s death in a Facebook post in July 2025.
Apparently, Lyndon was managing “health issues” before he died, the Boston Herald reported. The publication did not specify what exactly he was living with.
After retiring from professional hockey, Lyndon joined the local Boston radio show the “Hill Man Morning Show.” He eventually left his co-hosting duties in 2019.
