A graduate of the former San Jacinto High School in Houston, Lyon served in the United States Marine Corps and attended Rice University and the University of Houston. In 1962, the Junior Chamber International in Houston named him one of five "Outstanding Young Texans."〔
Lyon excelled in business as the chairman of the board of Ruska Instrument Corporation, a calibration company, and the 13-floor former River Oaks Bank and Trust Company, located and named for the affluent River Oaks neighborhood of Houston. In 1991, Compass Bancshares purchased River Oaks Bank. Lyon's real estate company had also constructed the River Oaks Bank building.〔"Rites Set for Developer, Banker James E.
