He is survived by the loves of his life: his wife Judy Konow-Hinds; three children Liana Hinds, Aria Hinds and Jacoby Hinds; and siblings Michael Flanders, Annette Tia Okwee, Judy Hinds, Eric Hinds, Errol Hinds, Joanne Hinds, and Wendy Quintall Wellington as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends, and bountiful loved ones. Lennus was predeceased by his parents Augustus Hinds and Lucy Butler Hinds. His wisdom, kindness, and influence live on in the legacy that he has bestowed upon all whom he has loved and cherished in this lifetime.

Lennus was truly a jack of all trades who possessed an expansive breadth of knowledge including soccer, politics, cooking, music, martial arts, science, gardening, beekeeping, and everything in between. It is virtually impossible to effectively encapsulate the profound impact that Lennus has had in this world. He grew up in Trinidad and Tobago; he loved to travel to other countries and learn various cultures. Lennus’s roots had a significant influence on his life, as evidenced in his hobby to grow a variety of Trinidadian vegetables and herbs, cooking a multitude of cultural dishes, and playing the steel drums.

Lennus had an immense love and talent for soccer. Even while saving lives as a firefighter, Lennus continued to play soccer in Trinidad and Tobago. Later, as a coach to countless children including his own three, he effortlessly showcased nothing but calm encouragement and educational advice. Lennus motivated players to accomplish goals for decades beyond the soccer fields.

Lennus had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge throughout his entire life. His pursuit of continued education brought him to the U.S.A. to earn an Associate’s Degree in Computer Science; later, he obtained a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Nursing. As a Registered Nurse, Lennus touched countless lives with the immense kindness and impeccable care that he would provide to every patient.

Despite these many accomplishments, there was no greater pride and love than Lennus’s children. Lennus worked tirelessly to grant his children guidance and love, supporting their every ambition. He was a loving husband who was determined to make every day of his life count after receiving a heart transplant on Valentine’s Day in 2012. Lennus was a warrior battling many medical challenges with calm courage and tenacity. He was a father, husband, brother, son, friend, uncle, cousin, and mentor who metamorphosized everyone who had the honor of speaking to him. His rich quest for knowledge and commitment to goals are radiated by his three beloved children as they continue to make the world a brighter place.
