"Jen was a genuinely selfless, sweet-natured person. She always had a smile. She cared about every person", Austin Carty, another former 'Survivor' star who dated Lyon declared. Carty added that he saw Lyon last summer at a breast cancer charity event. "She was engaged in the greatest fight of her life, but she had every intention to fight and spread her positive messages.
