TJ was my childhood best friend. I practically lived at his house growing up. Played baseball and basketball together several years with our dads coaching. I've got a lot of good memories of yall. I am very sorry to hear of his passing and Lynn's. Paul and Tim I hope yall are doing ok. This is Matt Cason. I live in Cartersville GA now. My parents are doing well and send their condolences as well. God bless.

Sweet T.J.,

I would have come to you if I had known about your accident.
You and Timmy are very dear and special to me and Jarrod.
I just told him and he was silent and sad,  We all threw the three of you together for many years and fun times.
We have had so many trips and vacations together that we will never forget nor have again like we did.
I will help you and be there always for your Mom now., and Dad.
Until we meet again son, your kind, sweet soft voice when you where young, I will never forget. 
Love,
Aunt Kathi & Jarrod
I Love you that much!!!!!

I so wish I could be there! Can't believe it's been a year and Bens' will be 7 years on Sept.2. Some days it seems like yesterday and other days it seems forever. I love and miss them so much!!! I don't care what anyone says,it doesn't get easier. It hurts just as bad now, as it did 1 year and 7 years ago! Forever in my heart,TJ and Ben, love Aunt Patty Poo and Mom

I remember feeling like part of your family back when Tim and TJ went to Harvester. I remember TJ as Tim's little brother that just wouldn't leave us alone, lol. But through all of it I also saw how much TJ loved his older brother and wanted to be just like him. Always a momma's boy with a strong respect for his father. I ran into TJ at a party a few years before his accident and we talked for a while. I remember thinking how he turned out to be such a cool guy. 
I truly feel for your family and the pain you must feel from such a great loss. I enjoy reading Joi's post about TJ on Facebook and her quotes and updates on how she is doing. What a strong woman and mother! 
Bless your hearts and keep strong. I will keep your family in my prayers. Love always, Ashley

Missing you, more than ever, three months later today. We've never known pain like this but losing you has been so horrible! We'll never get over losing you, wish u were still here, EVERYDAY !! Our hearts r broken, XXOO

TJ was truly a gift to us to have for
25 years. Such a Big Heart for his familyand friends. Our love will always be with you Son. Now you are an Angel of God. We can't wait to see you soon again Son. Love Mom and Dad  XXXOOO

Paul, Lynn and Tim.  I am so very sorry to here of TJ's passing.  EJ and I have really had some tough moments when we try to face the fact he is not here anymore.  I know EJ is friends with Tim and he kept up with him through Tim..I loved that stinker.  I will remember his smile and his goofy ways.  I just can't believe after all he had been through in the past few years that he is gone.  I pray for all of you every time I think about him. Love and God Bless each of you and my TJ rest in peace with Our Lord.

We are so sorry for your loss. We have such found memories of TJ growing up and that curly blond hair!  he could make the best goofy faces and remember he and Allie playing indians on the river while we camped. She was the Indian princess and he was her brave. They sure did grow up fast.  Cherish your memories and remember him often.  Prayers to you all as you get through this time of sorrow. We know he will be missed. Pam and Larry Jarek

Missing you more each day. Remembering your smile, and your sense of humor. Loving you always, until we meet again. Aunt Laura and Uncle Randy.
