Timothy Lynn Fox, age 58, of Knoxville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at home in Jacksboro, Tennessee, surrounded by the love of his family.

Tim was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose presence brought strength, laughter, and love to those around him. He is survived by his loving wife, Diane Fox; his daughters, Penny Fox Sellers (son in law, Rob Sellers) and Ashley Fox, and his cherished grandchildren, Kaden, Braxton, Jacob, Norris, Hendrix, and Revan, who all brought him great pride and joy. His Loving In-laws Becky and Mike Anderson whose love and support were a meaningful part of his life. Beloved Nieces and nephews; Heather, Austin, Andrew, Matt, Michael, Michelle, and Megan

He was preceded in death by his son, Timmy Fox; his brother-in-law, Terry Bailey; his father, Gary Fox; his brother, Kenny Fox; and his mother, Shirley Stafford.

Tim had a passion for fishing, working on and restoring cars, and loved taking spontaneous beach trips and vacations with his family. He enjoyed the simple moments in life and valued the time spent with the people he loved most. He loved watching funny TikToks and sharing them with friends and family, always enjoying a good laugh and bringing smiles to the people around him.

Tim will be remembered for his caring heart, incredible sense of humor, his love for his family, and the many memories he created with those who knew him.

Arrangements are incomplete at this time but will be announced later by Leach Family Funeral Home and Cremation.
