Deputy Landon Faulkner’s funeral details, procession and Sequatchie school dismissal

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – Sequatchie County Schools have called off classes on Friday to make way for an expected large funeral procession through their community.

They will use a “snow day” set aside in the calendar.

Hamilton County deputy Landon Faulkner will be laid to rest.

Deputy Faulkner was involved in a crash last week on Highway 111 in Sequatchie County.

He began his law enforcement career as a graduate of the Knoxville Police Department’s Explorer Cadet program.

Faulkner got his first law enforcement job working for the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office before landing a job in Hamilton County in 2022.

He is survived by his wife, Megan, and four children including an 18 month old daughter.

His family will receive friends at Abba’s House on Hixson Pike on Thursday evening (4-7pm) and then again Friday morning (10 -12).

A celebration of Live will be held at noon.

After that, law enforcement will hold a procession for burial services at Sequatchie County Memorial Gardens in Dunlap.

The public is encouraged to bring flowers to a memorial at the HCSO Law Enforcement Operations Center, 6125 Preservation Drive.
