James Michael Lennon

May 22, 1956 — May 17, 2024

Woodstock, IL

Proceeded in death by James Joseph Lennon and Sarah Elizabeth (Raven) Riley, his loving parents. Along with many other beloved family members. May they meet again. 

James spent his last years loving Annie Palmer and Bingo the Dingus. We know that he wished he had more.
 

Survived by his children; James Jay J. Lennon, Shannon Rae Lennon-Franklin & David Franklin, Harmony Jo Lennon & Mike Pelkowski, and Travis & Tory Lennon. 

He will be missed dearly by his grandchildren; Kaelyb, Maggi, Liliana, Sophia, Vance, Cooper, Linkin, 
The Turds~ Daxx and Jakk, and little Ellie. Teasing was his love language & he always loved when he could get a smile or laugh.  

James is further survived by brother and sisters; Linda & Greg Herdrich, Barbara Lennon Hicks, Lisa & Jim Peterson, Krissi Wagner, Rob & Cheryl Lennon, and Mary Delight Lennon-Strasser & Mike Strasser. May your memories comfort you.

Many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunt and uncles. Those with us and those taken too soon.

Guy, as most of us know him by, was a dreamer. Always thinking, planning, plotting, and learning. Always in the middle of doing many somethings. His artistic side can be seen and appreciated in his wood carvings, drawings, and many other unfinished projects. He loved fishing, golfing (once upon a long time ago), solitude, and other recreational pastimes....

Guy was a self-proclaimed hermit, with a gale wind force personality, who left his mark wherever he went. His presence was a bit of a unicorn, very elusive & brief. Sometimes you wondered if he was really even there. Then you remember he never missed an opportunity to make you laugh or make a fart joke. Never should you have pulled his finger....


We know he is out there chasing Bigfoot, gazing at the stars and watching over us. Flying high in the sky like the Eagle. May you be rich in your afterlife with all the love we are sending.

Guy, Dad, you will forever be missed.
