Tim graduated from Stover High School and spent most of his adult life in Russellville, MO, where he enjoyed working on lawnmowers and taking frequent trips to the casino. His expertise in lawnmower repairs was well-known in the community, and he was always willing to lend a helping hand to his neighbors and friends.

In his free time, Tim found peace in nature. He especially enjoyed fishing and hunting. He loved the peaceful moments spent by the water or in the woods.

However, Tim's greatest joy in life was his grandchildren. He adored each and every one of them and treasured the time they spent together. Whether it was attending their school events, playing games, or simply sharing stories, Tim's love for his grandchildren was deep. He was their biggest supporter and always made them feel special and loved.

Tim will be remembered as a hard worker, always dedicated to providing for his family.
