Me and Tim went to kindergarten together and we’re messing around in the bathroom. I end up breaking his nose messing around, acting like we were fighting. Opp. I just talked to him about a year ago. He reminded me that good memories.
Your sense of humor in everything kept it light. I will miss hearing your voice and laughter, wonderful memories of you talking about your family and time spent in the mountains with Brock.
That was your happy place.
Fly high, brother. Much love Joy Parrish USMC
Thinking of Tim and all the wonderful memories we made in high school.
I’ll cherish them always! My deepest sympathy to the family.
May you find comfort and peace.
Tim and I had a great friendship that started when we were 5 years old. He was the silly cute boy with the shaved head that moved in next store. He was my first boyfriend and kiss. We remained friends during all the high school drama, heartbreaks, and my lectures of some of his bad choices. I loved that he always made time for with a quick wave or hello.
Over the years we shared news of marriages, children and the excitement of becoming grandparents.
He was a gentle soul with a kind heart and he will truly be missed. Peace and comfort to his family. Sending hugs to Marilyn and Chris.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Tim was a great person we met freshman year at Jefferson. He was a great athlete as well. You will never be forgotten. Once A Jhawk Always A Jhawk. There Will Be No More Like The Class Of 1984 ❤️💛❤️💛💛
