Tim had an unconditional love for his family, friends and sports. He was an avid fan of the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Chicago Cubs. He religiously watched College Game Day on Saturdays in the Fall with his wife and boys. Tim enjoyed traveling to his grandson Cam’s baseball games all across the state. He was so proud of his grandkids often found in the backyard throwing a ball to Cam or chasing Abbott around the yard on their John Deere “Tractors.”
Tim enjoyed journaling and writing notes to his family for a “daily read” to start their day each morning. He would spend many hours journaling about his day, his family and his friends. He incorporated his writing in many of his gifts to family and friends in the form of poems and fun scavenger hunts. Tim’s love and passion for those close to him was unmatched and will be dearly missed.
