Tim had an actual ability to repair and restore things whether it was a vehicle, machine, or something around the home. While Tim found great satisfaction restoring what others thought could not be repaired, his greatest joy was in restoring broken people .He enjoyed many hobbies, including cars, firearms, grilling, fishing, camping and spending time around the fire with family and friends. Tim also loved sharing his experiences and what he learned with others. Above all Tim loved the Lord and his life reflected that. Tim will be remembered for his faith and as someone who spoke honestly, loved deeply, and stood firmly for what was right. His greatest legacy lives on in the family he cherished and in the lives he helped shape along the way. Like the warmth of a fire shared among family and friends, The love Tim gave will continue to burn bright in the hearts of those who knew him....
