Christmas presents in 2019 from Tim to his Dad.  

Edwina Hollywood. 
Tim gave me this Cowboy Gnome for Christmas in 2019. He knew I was a Fan too!!

My heart is broken for all of Tim’s family. I loved him as well as Bryan and Scott knowing them before they ever became teenagers. I moved away from San Antonio for more than 20 years but knowing Rick since 1988 when we worked together at Alamo Title. In July 2018, Rick contacted me on FB and we renewed our friendship. I enjoyed seeing the boys after they were all grown up. I was so proud of how much Tim told anyone that was around us how he knew I loved them and that I treated them like they were my own kids. He also said that I would get them anything if I could that they wanted. I know have had the chance to meet Audrie and Wyatt and I saw the love he had for them. I have now gotten to know Wayne and LouAnn; Melynda and Jimmy; TJ and Scotty—now my condolences go to all of Rick’s family.  All my love Edwina Hollywood. 

My sincere condolences to the family. Tim was a great coworker and became a good friend after such a short time working with me. He always talked about his kids, 99% of the time. I sure miss him but know he is in a better place. To his dad, you raised a good man and he always said you were his best friend. I pray comfort throughout this difficult time. May Gods peace be with y’all.

My deepest condolences to Tim's family and friends especially his two precious children and his father of whom he spoke so fondly and highly of. You were definitely the stellar patient ,with the best stories and I looked forward to our monthly visits. The entire Atlantic medical clinic staff will truly miss you and are grateful you were in our lives. R.I.P my friend until we meet again 

Our hearts are broken, our memories are now priceless treasures.  We loved watching you grow up and were so proud of the father you were to Audrie and Wyatt. We were so proud of how hard you worked at everything you did.  Thanks Tim for hanging out with us old folks, barbecuing and watching football.  You always brought such energy and joy to us.  We will miss you so much.  
Love, Diane and Mike and family.

A friend and brother gone way too soon.  Our deepest sympathy for Tim's family and friends. I pray you will find comfort. Our hearts are broken knowing he can never be replaced. All we can do is ask him to watch over us and protect us moving forward. I know he's been reunited with his mom and past family members and he is looking down at us. 

Keep tearing up the track my brother you will forever be missed. 😥


Tim was a loyal and caring friend as well as a wonderful father to his kids. I have been friends with Tim since we were 8 or 9, after all the years I could still call him any time and he would be there. He will truly be missed.

I will never forget you.


Love you brother.

I liked Tim right away.  He embraced me into the group and always made an effort to connect.  Tim was a good person with a huge heart and I know how much he will be missed.  May he rest in peace and watch over Rachel and the kids with Jesus by his side. 

I met Tim in 1993. Tim was cool since day 1. We used to listen to Snoop Dogg's 1st CD in his room and have "rap-offs". Sometimes, before school, we would try to wake Tim up for school by banging on and then climbing in his bedroom window. We would use his Cool Water cologne and he would wake up to a Winston cigarette that he got from Sandra. I remember us jumping on his trampoline with Keven Byrd and being double bounced higher than the moon. Sometimes, we would camp out on that trampoline. One time, me, Tanner and Mike were at Tanner's house and all of a sudden we see Sandra's Cadillac driving up the street with barely a head poking over the steering wheel. Sure enough, that was Tim out joy riding and showing off. I remember joy riding a few years later in our Fast and Furious cars. He had a Mazda Protégé, Jimmy had a Nissan Maxima and I had my Prelude. Those were fun times. We used to play dominoes at my 1st townhouse with a group of friends all the time. We used to go meet up for lunch at Boston Market and I would go hang out with him to wait for him to get off of work when he worked at SC Aircraft. I can remember a thousand barbecues, floating Moores Creek and going out to Nichols Landing so he and the boys could fish. Just some fond memories but there's 30 years more. I'll never forget your willingness to tackle hard work no matter what. I'll never forget your robust,  infectious laugh, I'll never forget the way you would say, "HEY!...HEY!...." and then say what you wanted to say. Most importantly, I'll never forget the time that we spent together. Until next time, Tim. Love, your brother James Bassett

I’m missing Tim along with you. With heartfelt condolences.
Wishing you peace and strength during this difficult time.
