Lincoln "Link" Maddox Hines

Lincoln Maddox “Link” Hines, 4, finished his courageous fight with leukemia and was finally healed on Saturday, June 14, 2025, with his family around him. 
Lincoln was born in Charlottesville, Virginia on January 25, 2021, a son of S. Jonathan and Candice Hines. 
From the beginning, “Link” was a fighter. He came into this world at 3 lbs. 12 oz. and spent almost three weeks in the NICU at the University of Virginia Medical Center. 
He was a boy full of energy and liked anything to do with fire trucks, Paw Patrol, Bluey, and super heroes. He loved to eat, especially Chinese, shrimp, and a McDonald’s happy meal. 
He was diagnosed with T-Cell Leukemia in 2023. He fought courageously through multiple chemo treatments and relapses at the University of Virginia and most recently, at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Ohio.
In addition to his parents, he is survived by his big sister, Brooklyn Joy and his big brother, Austin Jonathan; and his beloved puppy, “Blaze”; Grandpa and Grandma, Pastor Daniel Hines and his wife, Melody; Pawpaw and Mawmaw, Dale Raynes and his wife, Pennie; Uncle and Aunt, Dakota Raynes and his wife, Adriana; great-grandmothers, Joyce Cullen and Ruby Hoppe and great-grandfather, David Raynes; numerous great-aunts, great-uncles, and cousins. 
The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Friday, June 20, 2025 at Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at the Aero Drive Church of God, 108 Aero Drive, Waynesboro, Virginia with Pastor Nathan Price, Pastor Dwayne Platt, and Pastor David Moore officiating.
Burial will follow at Thornrose Cemetery in Staunton. 
Pallbearers will be Dakota Raynes, Jason Shultz, Tommaso Pugliese, and Marco Pugliese.
The family would like to express a special thank you for the outpouring of love received from family, friends, and the community throughout his fight with leukemia. Special thanks to the local pediatric cancer foundations for their support and his care teams at UVA and Cincinnati Children’s, especially his UVA nurses that put up with his shenanigans, including midnight sword fights and police “arrests and tickets”. Also, a special thanks to Legacy Hospice and his nurse, Lisa Ramsey for care and love to him, during his last days. 
Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory, 230 Frontier Drive, Staunton is in charge of his arrangements.
