Timothy Edwards Jenkins

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Timothy Edwards Jenkins, affectionately known as TJ, who left us on October 9, 2026. Born June 16, 1977, in Mobile, Alabama, TJ's life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and an unwavering dedication to family and friends. TJ was the cherished son of Emmer Anderson and Edward (Shirley) Jenkins, who instilled in him strong values and a compassionate heart. He was predeceased by his beloved nephew, Josie L. Flanning; brother, Jessie Lee Campbell; and sisters, Tawana Flanning and Tabatha F. Flanning Edwards. TJ's life was enriched by his devoted life partner, Deianna Dickerson, whose love and companionship were a constant source of joy and comfort. As a beloved father, TJ's legacy lives on through his children: Corey J. Brown, Timothy E. Jenkins, Jr., Aiden A. Withers, Tyler E. Jenkins, Yasmeen M. Jenkins, Alexis Dickerson, Alaydrian Dickerson, Andrew Dickerson, and Cameron Dickerson. His nurturing spirit and boundless love also extend to his grandchildren: Kyler, Caiden, Chaza, Skylan, Desmond, Dinero, Noah, Autumn, Jordan, Daylan, and the eagerly anticipated baby Kam. TJ was a brother to be proud of, sharing a close bond with his siblings, Tiffany (Mike) Flanning and Heather (Dannis) Hardy. His family was the cornerstone of his life, and he cherished every moment spent with them, creating memories that will be treasured forever. Known as the best grill master in Mobile, TJ had a unique talent for slow roasting, taking his time to infuse every dish with love and flavor. His culinary skills were legendary among family and friends, and while the wait for his meals was often long, the reward was always worth it. TJ was a true Jack of all trades, with a remarkable ability to tackle any challenge and a willingness to learn anything new. His infectious humor and knack for lightening the mood made him the heart of every gathering. A celebration of TJ's life will take place on October 24, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Memorial Funeral Home, located at 1302 St Stephens Rd, Prichard, AL 36610. As we come together to honor TJ's memory, we remember a man who embodied generosity, warmth, and an unwavering spirit. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in TJ's memory to a charity of your choice, reflecting the love and kindness he shared with the world. TJ's presence will be profoundly missed, but the love and laughter he brought into our lives will remain with us forever.
