Timothy Lee Brattain, 73, of Harrisburg, NC, passed away on Saturday, April 20, 2024 at home, surrounded by his loving family.
Tim was born in Charlotte, NC, on July 27, 1950, to his late parents Sebron Lee Brattain and Dorothy Louise Harkey Brattain.
At a young age, Tim began his career working at Southern Bell also known as BellSouth. This is where Tim met his dearly beloved wife Mary. That day, Tim laid eyes on Mary and he knew she would be his wife. The two were married in Gatlinburg, TN, on June 29, 1996. Tim referred to his beloved wife as “The Boss” from that day until his last day. Nicknames meant something to Tim and all those loved by him earned their unique nickname from him over time. Whatever nickname Tim gave you, it stuck, and everyone loved it.
To know Tim Brattain was to love him. He was a man that put God first, his family second, and drag racing with the ones he loved most, third. Everyone that knew Tim loved him and Tim loved life. His greatest accomplishment in life was being the Patriarch over his ever growing, large, and loving family.
Tim is survived by his beloved wife Mary; brother, Steve, and his wife, Suha, of Charlotte, NC; daughter, Alana Hollifield, and her husband, Jerry, of Sherrills Ford, NC; son, Don Walsh, and his wife, Sandi, of Polkton, NC; daughter, Julia Haferman, and her husband, Pete, of Harrisburg, NC; 12 grandchildren, Tyler, Austin, Alex, Amber, Brittany, Alyssa, Josh, Gracyn, Jake, Nellie, Carlie, and Sophia; and 5 great-grandchildren, C.J., Eliana, McKinlee, Kasen, and Blakelee.
The family will receive friends from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, at Hartsell Funeral Home, 12115 University City Blvd, Harrisburg. The memorial service in celebration of Tim's life will follow at 7:00 pm in the funeral home chapel. Please dress casually. Race T-shirts encouraged!
