Tyrone Lamar Fine, Sr., 48, of  Knoxville, TN, passed away on December 29, 2022.
Tyrone was born on May 6, 1974 to Linda Gail Fine.

After graduating from Central High School, he was employed with the Knox County School System.  
He also was a mentor to younger children.  Tyrone loved the game of golf, volunteered to mentor more youthful kids, and taught them the game.  Tyrone was also an avid UT Vol fan—there were several orange and white shirts in his wardrobe that he would wear frequently.  One of Tyrone's memorable experiences was campaigning for Bill Haslam.  You better call Tyrone for two things: the master griller at the family barbecue and the D. J. at the family social function.  Those were HIS duties!

Tyrone had an infectious smile and laughter that could brighten up anyone's day.  He had a welcoming front porch, the gathering place for his Lonsdale neighborhood friends.    Friends would stop by for a joke, a laugh, discuss politics, and just life in general conversations.  

He is preceded in death by his mother:  Linda Fine; grandparents:  Elmer, Sr. and JoAnn Burems Fine; aunt:  Rosalyn Fine; great grandparents: James A. Fine, Blanche Garner, and Margaret Burems; great uncle and aunt:  Carl Burems and Lillian Rice.

He leaves to cherish his memories his children:  Tyrone Fine, Jr. and My'Anjel Bennett; brothers:  Justin Fine and Minister James E. Fine; uncles:  Elmer Fine, Jr. and James A. (ShaJuan) Fine;  aunts:  Angelynn Fine Mills, Vicky Fine (Chattanooga, TN), Yvonne Fine Smith (Glen), Regina Fine, Kimberly Fine and Clim Fine Gomez-Rodriguez (Gerardo); great uncle:  Clifford Burems (Los Angeles, CA) and a host of relatives and friends.
