Wesley Henderson

Wesley Lynn Henderson Sr, age 79, of Calhoun, TN, passed away on Monday, February 22, 2021, at his home surrounded by his wife and children. He was also known as “Lenny” by friends and coworkers.

Lynn is preceded in death by his son Wesley Lynn (Toby) Henderson Jr.

Among his closest living family are his wife Toneeke, who has been his love for the past 40 years and loyal caregiver till the end, along with their two other children: Rina Henderson of Cleveland, TN, and Daniel Henderson of Athens, TN. He has six grandchildren: Gabbie, Ama, Liam, Zeke, Eden, and Layla.

Lynn had an adventurous spirit and a contagious laugh. He loved the mountains and unplanned spur-of-the-moment trips. Early in his life, Lynn served his country in the US Navy. He was a hard worker and was one of the best machine setters and maintenance men of this century.

With a cold beer in hand, Lynn loved cooking food over campfires, working on his yard, and telling life stories that made us all laugh. When he wasn’t telling big rig stories, he watched nature shows on National Geographic, war movies, and old westerns. Besides laughter, he knew how to fill a home with the cozy aroma of home-cooked meals, especially at the holidays. He also loved to hear a genuine belly laugh, which he’d be surrounded by when the family gathered. His laugh will be greatly missed.


A heartfelt “thank you” goes to the truly exceptional home health and Hospice nurses who provided nursing care for Lynn, as well as providing a peaceful and compassionate environment during his transition from this life to the next.

Lynn lived a great life.
