Timothy's whole heart was his son, Little Timothy. They shared a love for racecars, music, playing baseball and watching "The Flash", and spending time with family.
His love for racing turned into working at JWR ( Josh William Racing). That was his job but he always came home saying how much fun he had day in and day out.  He considered the crew at JWR not only coworkers but family-JoshWilliams, John Holmes, Bryce Applegate, Wyatt Philyaw, Jaden Bowling, Zach Gocher, Allison Johnson, Hunter Jordan, Braden Monteith and David Snook Jr.

He loved music with great passion whether it was listening or writing.  This love created additional friends that became family to him as well-Ethan Herndon, Michael Chatfield, Kyle Crayton, Tyler, Chase, Kelby, Jacob and Connor.

Timothy was never short on friends, that quickly became family and in addition to the ones mentioned above, Kim and Sean Scott, Brian Culp, Chastity Howard and Trazia Williams, and Kassi Raffaldt.  Each and every one of you held a special place in his heart.

We would like to thank everyone that has called, texted, stopped by, brought food, sent flowers and took time to pray for our family.  May God Bless you.
