I never had the opportunity to know Chaplain Tim, but I am a fellow Chaplain and graduate of NNU and NTS. The loss of one of us is a loss to us all.

To Andrea and the family. So sorry to hear of your loss. I heard brother Tim's testimony. He supplied the pulpit for me. We ate together at the hospital where he worked. I appreciated his friendship. The only joy in death is to know a person is where he planned to be---with Jesus. Victory, then of course, is ultimate, physical, spiritual and eternal.

I knew Tim in Ottumwa while I was pastor at First Christian Church. Tim helped me deal with a very tough situation in the congregation. He was a valued colleague in ministry and friend. He blessed a lot of lives! So sorry to hear about his death.

So sad to learn of Tim's death. I had the privilege of knowing him as a student and student leader at the Nazarene Seminary where I teach. God's grace in Tim's life worked powerfully; we're all the better for it. I pray grace and peace to all who grieve.

Andrea - I was so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I agree with you he is doing cartwheels in heaven. I lost Michael in 2004 and it is like loosing a part of your body. I pray that the Lord give you comfort in knowing that Tim is in a great place and not to worry that He will take care of you still here on earth. God bless you always!!

I was so saddened to hear of Tim's death. What a wonderful young man! While we were in CPE together at St. Luke's he always brightened my day with his keen wit, determination and sense of calling. Tim, thanks for the journey my friend. You will forever be in my heart!

I opened the paper today and i saw a face that was so familiar to me,and the name rang the same bell. I work at GE Capital in Merriam Ks.. i've spent all day wondering and asking coworkers.. do you remember this man? I believe Timothy and his wife worked with me, its odd as i was just thinking about them a few days ago. They were so so nice, if i remember correctly he left first,i think he was going to school? And Andrea worked with us awhile longer. They were so kind to people, so kind to each other. I really enjoyed them. I'm so sorry to hear about Timothy but it sounds like he made a difference in many lives and isnt that what we all hope to do in our own? God Bless you Timothy and Andrea you are in my prayers.

Tim was a wonderful man who spent his life in service to others. Lending a sympathetic ear came naturally to Tim. He had a kind and open heart and was well loved by all who knew him. Tim was unique and will be greatly missed.
