Timothy Mark Lennicx, 40, a native of Fairhope, died Monday, Aug. 24, 2009 at his home surrounded by loving family and friends.
He worked for the city of Fairhope for 18 years, starting out as a custodian for the fire and police departments. He later served the city as a police dispatcher beginning in 2000 before graduating from the Police Academy and becoming a full-time officer in 2004. He moved to the electrical department in 2007, and worked in that capacity until earlier this year.
His greatest service and his greatest joy, however, came through his 18 years of dedicated and exemplary work with the Fairhope Volunteer Fire Department. His many and varied years of faithful and outstanding service were recently recognized by Mayor Tim Kant who issued a proclamation for his “loyal and dedicated service to the city of Fairhope.”
He graduated from Fairhope High School where he participated in football, and was a member of the “Baker’s Dozen” choral group. His service to the community continued in youth sports, as well, where he especially loved coaching in the girl’s softball leagues.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother, George and Maggie Lennicx.
Survivors include a daughter, Brooke of Fairhope; two sons, Ladd and Owen, both of Fairhope; three sisters and two brothers, Diane Northrop, Joe Lennicx, Brenda Perry, Lisa McCauley, all of Fairhope, and Andy Lennicx of Atlanta.
A memorial service will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27 at South River Park Church of God, County Road 32, one mile east of Highway 181, Fairhope. Graveside services will be held Friday, Aug. 28, at Memory Gardens of Fairhope. A funeral procession will begin at 9 a.m. from the South River Park Church of God.
The family requests memorial donations be made to the Children of Tim Lennicx Trust Fund at any Community Bank location.
