Martin Landon "Lanny" Haynes Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Martin Landon Nathaniel Haynes, or “Lanny” as most people knew him, always had a smile on his face and never complained. Lanny was born on January 20, 1947 in Johnson City, TN and was the son of the late Ben and Margaret Haynes. Lanny grew up in Chattanooga and attended OLPH Catholic School and Notre Dame High School graduating in 1965. He then attended East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN before transferring to the University of Chattanooga where he completed his Associates Degree. At OLPH Lanny met his lifelong friends Andy Nolan, Vic Massari, Jon Keene, the late Johnny Hennen and Laura Hennessey Overmeer. Friends that became family. Lanny was a family man and his favorite place to be was at home. He loved the Fighting Irish and the Georgia Bulldogs but at his core he was a closet Tennessee Volunteer. Lanny is survived by his wife of 47 years Suzanne, son Ben Haynes (Heather), Sally Katz (Seth) and Dolores Haynes, brother Benn Haynes (Mary), Sarah Troub (Don), Bonnie Haynes, and his six grandchildren (Harris, Hadley, Emmy, and Thatcher Haynes, Ben and Emily Katz). A funeral mass will be held Tuesday, November 26 at 11:00 AM at Our Lady of The Mount Catholic Church with visitation preceding at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in Lanny’s memory to either OLPH Catholic School or Notre Dame High School.
