Lawrence “Jinx” Lindsay, 79, of Parkland, FL passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family and friends on January 12, 2026 after a courageous battle with cancer.

Jinx was a man of strength, loyalty and quiet courage.  He fought many battles in his life, and his final one with cancer was met with the same determination and grace that defined who he was. Jinx proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War obtaining the rank of Spec 5.  He was also a recipient of the prestigious Purple Heart.

A devoted father, Jinx led by example.  He showed love not only through words, but through presence, protection, and sacrifice.  He was not only a father, but also their friend.  As a father, he was patient and proud, always encouraging us to be ourselves and to do our best. His guidance continues to shape who we are, and his love will remain with us for the rest of our lives. As a grandfather, his pride was unmistakable and his love was unconditional, warm, and lasting.  He loved attending all the grandchildren’s many sporting events.  Sometimes, even enjoying coaching and refereeing from the sidelines.  To his beloved wife of 55 years, he was a husband and partner in every sense, standing side by side through life’s journeys.  From the moment they met, Jinx brought warmth, strength, and laughter into her life. He was a man of kindness, integrity, humor, faith, devotion, and he lived those values every day not loudly, but consistently. Being married to him meant being supported, understood, and deeply loved.

Lawrence was also a true friend, the kind of person you could count on without questions.  His loyalty ran deep, his humor was memorable, and his presence left a mark on everyone who knew him.  He was always the life of the party.  His one of a kind dance moves always kept us entertained.

Though his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled, his legacy lives on through the lives he touched, the family he loved, and the memories that will be held forever.  Lawrence “Jinx” Lindsay will be remembered not only for how he fought, but for how deeply he loved and how fully he lived.

Proceeded in passing by parents, Lawrence E. Lindsay, Jr. and Loretta Fahey Lindsay; and his sister, Catherine Lindsay Nuesser.

Survived by his wife, Sherry Lindsay; his daughter, Dawn Lindsay (Jose) Reyes; son, Brian (Allison Chisari) Lindsay.  Also, left to cherish his memory are his grandchildren, Preston, Peyton, Parker, Marcus, and Ava; his sister, Patricia Lindsay-Ruez; brother, Eugene (Peg) Lindsay; brother-in-law, Norman Hoskins; and several nieces and nephews.

He will always be with us, in our stories, our laughter and our hearts. 

Fly high Papa Jinx!
