Addison "Bubba" Lincecum Died from Burns Received in a Boat Accident (1983)


Addison Turney "Bubba" Lincecum, Jr. was born on 16 October 1933 in Pierce, Wharton County, Texas to Addison Lincecum Sr. (1913-1989) and Elsie Mae Clarke (1914-1985). Addison married at least once and had at least one child.

In late July 1983, Addison was involved in a boat accident at a Freeport, Brazoria County, Texas marina where he worked. A boat that was refueling caught fire and exploded. He was flown to Houston for treatment after suffering cuts and second and third-degree burns on more than 40% of his body, according to the U.S. Coast Guard office at Galveston.

Unfortunately, Addison did not survive the injuries and died a week before his fiftieth birthday on 9 October 1983 in Houston. Burial was in Wharton City Cemetery in Wharton County.
