Timothy S. Hawkes

Timothy S. Hawkes passed peacefully on September 14, 2022 at Kaplan Family Hospice House in Danvers after a courageous battle with cancer. He was the son of the late Stephen L. and Myrle (Greene) Hawkes. Tim was born and raised in Danvers, later living in Southern California and New Hampshire. He attended Danvers Public Schools and graduated from Danvers High School, Class of 1966, then attended Southern New Hampshire University. After school he went on to a career in finance where he served as CFO at Essex Bituminous Co. of West Peabody and Pacer/Anixter in Woburn. He loved his family, his friends, antique cars, and dogs. He loved traveling with his partner, Kelly, and they shared adventures everywhere from Ireland to Hawaii. He was charitable and generous. He donated blood, supported many charities, volunteered at Eisenhower Hospital in Palm Springs, and raised money as a walker in the Lynda J. Talbot Memorial Walk/Run, which provides financial support to local families battling cancer and scholarships to Danvers High School students. He walked in memory of his son-in-law Jake’s aunt, Emily Cohen. He leaves behind his partner Spencer Kelly Kerrigan with whom he shared a happy home in Seabrook, New Hampshire.

He also leaves behind two very special friends, Terry Hawkes of Peabody and Glenn C. Meehan of Los Angeles, CA. Tim was predeceased by his brother Robert L. Hawkes and his brother-in-law Robert K. Flachbart . As a final gift, he made the beautiful decision to donate his body to Tufts Medical School so future healthcare providers can get the training they need to help others.
