Whenever he wasn’t working, he enjoyed any activity that included his children. When his children had a sporting event, Tim was their biggest fan! Tim enjoyed roping, riding horses, fishing, hunting, and camping with his family and friends. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved a good practical joke. He was the kind a friend you could depend on to be there when you needed him, and stay till the job was done. He possessed a warm smile and was always happy to greet a friend. A Christian by faith, Tim made a personal commitment to the Lord in October 1, 2006. He was a member of the Exciting Southeast Baptist Church.
