Timmy was born in Giles County on August 16, 1963. His siblings were very special to him. He grew close to his Austin cousins. Timmy was like a father to his nieces, Crystal and Brittany. They always knew they could count on him and he taught them many life lessons that they will always hold dear. He was a gentle giant and the best friend a person could have. He was an animal lover and his dog, Hershey, was his world. In his younger days, he worked on a paving crew and held several other jobs until he became disabled.
Timmy was a strong man. He was fearless, and he will forever be missed by his family and friends. A celebration of his life will be held at 2:00 P.M., Saturday, August 13, 2022 at Emmanuel Wesleyan Church with Pastor Matt Reynolds officiating. Please join us in remembering and celebrating the life of this incredible son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend.
Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Roanoke, is assisting the family.
