So sorry to hear the news of Tim's passing. It was a total shock to me! My thoughts and prayers are with you. The last time I saw Tim was at Chris's wedding. If you could have CHris e-mail me it would be greatly appreciated Tim would frequently call me and keep me posted as to Chris's stats! It's hard to believe he is gone. He was a gentleman and I will always remeber the time, he and CHris came to see my son play little league one evening. We shared some happy memories, since I knew him since I moved to FLorida some 18 years ago.Now when I umpire at Flagler, he won't be there, it will be hard for me to go there and not think of him I did not hear of his passing until I went to the NextLevel academy and talked about Chris to the coaches. I can't believe I can't call him.
My condolences to all of you.

To Chris and the rest of the Barnwell family I send mine and my family's deepest condolences. Tim was an unbelievable man as all of you well know. He was perhaps one of the most genuinely kind people that I have ever met. Our family recently lost our patriarch and I know exactly how you all feel. May God comfort you in this time of loss and fill the gaps that are left with Tim's/Dad's/Pop's passing. May the Peace that passes all understanding be your possession alongside the wonderful memories you have of a wonderful man.

To the Barnwell Family,
I feel cheated that I only got to spend five years getting to now your dad. In that short time he became another father to me. He included me in everything that he did. The one thing that I always remember about your dad is that he was always smiling and never seam upset. He always looked at the glass half full. He made me a better person and I am trying to be as good as a father as he was! I was very blessed to have him in my life and I know that he smiling from above. My prayers are with all of you and I love you all very much!

I'm sorry it took so long to write you, but getting to this point was hard. There were so many things I wish I could have said to you Pop. By now though, you already know them. One is thank you. Thank you so much for respecting me. For respecting life. Thank you for showing us the template to live by. I will begin the journey toward living like you right now.

I hate that I took you for granted. But I won't live that way. You wouldn't. I'll instead miss the good old times as you would say. Seeing you in the stands of a ball game talking to a complete stranger about me. Getting me to sign a baseball so you could give it to one of your friends. You staying a month with mom in Jupiter last spring. What a special gift that was. Listening to you talk to Dave or Jerry or Ralph on the phone, telling stories. My post game calls to you. Hearing you say "good game buddy," even though I went hitless. "You're doing great man" you would say. I wish I could hear those words right now. You were our lighthouse for so many years. Guiding us through this life with ease. I miss seeing that light Pops. I miss you telling me jokes, lifting me up when I was so down. Giving me advice on things when I had nowhere else to go. How simple you made my biggest problems seem.

Everything that is written by the people before me is true. You were a honest man in an era where honesty has been all but lost. You gave till your last breath, I know you waited for me Pops. Thank You for waiting, I know it was hard. You are the very definition of LIFE. Look how people loved you. They truly loved you. People you only met a few times, or haven't seen in years. They all loved you. Not for anything other than what you were.

You were our Pops, moms best friend, Brady's Pop-Pop, Jenn's favorite Uncle, Flagler Baseball's biggest fan, my biggest fan, the proudest father of a firefighter in the world. You loved horses more than any other man that hated horses ever did. You did that because you sure did love your girls more than the world. You were everything to all of us. I'm truly a blessed man to have been fathered by the greatest dad of all time. I hope when you watch us grow, we make you as proud as you made us. You can never be replaced, and I promise, you will never be forgotten. To my mentor, my hero, my father, my everything. You are deeply missed. And when we are as good as you, we too will get called up to the Big Leagues in the sky.

To the Barnwell Family -

I just today heard of Tim's passing and am greatly saddened. Tim was a GREAT friend of my late husband Frank Curtis. Tim and Frank worked together - mostly with Tim being a subcontractor on Frank's projects in the last years of Frank's life. Tim was always the first to help and was a great confidant of Frank's. When Frank and I were in business Tim helped us stay above water during our first (and worst) years. I wish I had had time to tell Tim how much he meant to me and to Frank and to say Thank you for being a constant in an ever changing world. Since I did not get to tell him - I am telling you all and whoever reads this. Thank you for sharing Tim with all of us. He will not be forgotten.

November 6, 2008

My dear, dear, brother, I will miss you more than words can say. I just can't imagine a world without you in it. We have laughed together and cried together, and now there is a hole in my heart that I don't know how I will ever fill. There are so many things I could thank you for but at the top of the list, I thank you and Ronni for always including me on your wonderful trips to Nova Scotia because you knew I loved N.S. the same way you did. Those memories are priceless to me.

I love your family so much. They are all awesome. You had the best wife and mother a man could ask for and togethers you raised four children that grew to be such wonderful young men and women. I am so proud of them all. I feel like Kelly and Kristy are partly my girls, too. They are strong, beautiful, with the biggest hearts I have ever seen. I will watch over them for you my DEAR Tim.

Until we meet again, my brother, my friend.
Your loving older sister, Lissa

After returning from the memorial service for Tim Barnwell I am deeply moved to thank Tim for being the best Boss I ever had but, most of all for being my best friend over the past 22 years and for including me and my wife, Janet, in the Barnwell family's lives. The many phone calls that we shared and the times that we spent together will be cherished memories that I will never be able to duplicate. I miss you so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Barnwell family.

Dear Kristy and the Barnwell family,
I was fortunate enough to come in to your world's about a year ago and it is something that will change the way I perceive a family forever. I have never seen a family as close and loving as the Barnwells, and I feel so grateful to be including and be part of that love. From Grandma to Brady and every member in between, you folks all just genuinely care about each other and protect your family bond as all great families do. I will never, ever forget Tim Barnwell because he was a terrific, loving man and was the glue that kept that family bond together. The values that he instilled in all of his children have made all four of them the wonderful people that they are today. I think of Scott, Chris and Kelly as my own brothers and sister and I have never loved anybody quit the way I love the one they call "Daddy's baby girl". I will always honor Mr. Barnwell by striving to be the father to my own daughter that he was to his children, and if I can possibly come just somewhere close to that....I will feel sucsessful as a parent like bhe did. No great man as such an accomplished life and family with out a truly wonderful woman by his side, and I think the world of you Ronni and consider you a second mother. I want you folks to know that I am here for each and everyone of you if needed, and I love you all.

Godspeed Tim Barnwell, You will never be forgotten!

I grew up and went to elementary and High school with Tim. He was a fun boy growing up. I am sorry for your loss.

Kerry Hendricks

November 4, 2008

Tim was my cousin and when we were younger I always wished he was the older brother I didn't have. I didn't get to spend much time with him since we lived out of state, but when we did come to visit I looked forward to seeing Tim. Being eight years older Tim was a lot to look up to - strong, athletic, and soft spoken with a full social schedule. When I grew up I wanted to be like Tim.
He took the time to teach me how to use the weight set I got for Christmas, he taught me how to water ski at the "Lake", he actually let me move the yellow Stingray from the street to the carport when I was just fifteen. I remember hunting and fishing with him, and I remember when he found and married the sweetest girl around - I wanted to be like Tim.
As the years went buy we saw even less of each other. On the occasions we did get together I enjoyed seeing his family grow, with the boys then the twins, and I saw how they loved and respected their dad and how they grew up and conducted their lives. The example he and Ronnie set and love they shared with them will carry the family through anything.
My grandson Noah only got to meet Tim once, at Christmas a few years ago when he was five. Noah is shy and was feeling a little overwhelmed with the crowd of new faces so he and I had gone out on the porch for a break. Tim pulled up and as he was getting out of his truck I told Noah who he was and that he was a very nice cousin of his. Noah ran up and hugged his leg, then let Tim pick him up and carry him - a first for the day, kids have great intuition. Tim was still the same as he had always been and I noticed how he reminded me of our Grandfather Papa. I am glad I wanted to be like Tim.

Dear Ronni and Family,
Words can not describe what a wonderful person Tim was. We loved him dearly. We will never be able to pass the baseball fields and not think of Mr. Tim.
Today after the service Jacob said he remembered how proud Mr. Tim was when Chris was "called up" to the major league. And he knows that Miss Ronni, Scott, Chris, Kristy and Kelly are proud that Mr. Tim has been "called up" to his heavenly home. We will always miss and love him. May God bless each of you with strength during this time.

To the Barnwell Family
My deepest sympathy to all of you in your loss. Tim was a gentle giant in many ways, always had a smile on his face and loved talking about his grandchild.

I'm writing this from Heaven
Where I dwell with God above
Where there's no more tears and sadness
There's just eternal love

When you are walking down the street
And you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind
And when you feel that gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you
A great big hug
Or just a soft embrace

And when it's time for you to go
From that body to be free
remember you're not going
You are coming here to me.

How could I possibly tell everything Tim meant to me and my family. He is the most dearest friend we have ever had. I will miss him forever, his laugh, his humor, his compassion and love he gave to all. Ronnie I love you and hope that you will be comforted through these times. Tim, thank you for being you, a peacemaker

Shannon Andersen

November 3, 2008

My brother Tim was a spectacular man. When I was growing up there were two categories in our house that all came out in a gulp, mine was “Shannon and Lissa” and my brother Tim’s was “Pinky and Tim.” Tim and I shared the clump in the between, we were the middle children though 7 years apart. We could not claim first born or baby-so we each worked on polishing our own personalities.

I know from family pictures that on Sunday mornings we were spit and polished and taken off to the local Methodist Church. I don’t remember playing together, because of the 7 years between us. They say he dumped me on my head from the baby carriage as he raced it up and down the drive-way so I assume he was given some degree of caretaking responsibilities when he was 8 or so, until that happened most likely!

What I do remember about growing up with Tim was when I was becoming a teenager he began to give me a moment of respect and he would entertain my friends with stories of his extracurricular activities. He graduated from High School when I was 11 years old and went off to a couple of junior colleges. One year he bought a car in Douglas Georgia that would only go in reverse and he and his friends backed in all the way home! (Or so I was told.) When college turned out to not be his forte’ he moved home. I by that time had taken his room upstairs so he had to move into the small guest room and we had to share a bathroom.
During those years Mom and Dad and Lissa and I spent the weekends at the lake house in Grandin and I just remember Tim, dressed in his work uniform going off to work for Dad and I remember his girlfriends who I admired so much. They wore shirtwaist dresses and flip hairstyles and they treated me really nice to impress Tim I imagine. He was lots of fun to have as a big brother because he did things like bring home a monkey to liven up our lives, which it absolutely did. Mom, Lissa and I took over the care of course but that was okay with us,I even think Mom grew to like it. Tim kept Mom hopping.

Tim was responsible for one of the most important events of my life, one that changed the way I looked at the world. From the time I was a little girl I wanted a horse. I wished on every star, or every time I saw a one eyed car, or went over a train track. I added the request in my prayers at night. When I was 14 years old, one incredible day, he brought home the most beautiful Palomino horse I had ever seen. I fell in love immediately and I knew then that dreams do come true. I’ll always love Tim for that.

Tim made sure his girls had horses and that they and the horses were well schooled. He was the best father in the whole world.

For his girls he provided the horses, for his boys he lived their baseball. Games and practices from T-ball to the Major League he lived for his children and never denied them either material but most of all emotional support. As a Dad he was all heart. He loved his family. Tim was a good and kind man. He had passion and was fun. I remember his yellow Corvette Sting Ray and then he had another Turquoise Corvette and not too many years ago he towed a red and white Corvette convertible back from Nova Scotia. I will always think of him when I see those cars, and when I see Brady, his dear grandson, the light of his life who will grow into the man his grandfather would be very proud to watch over.

His beautiful gentle/tough wife Ronni was so good to and for him. When he lost his head she was the quiet strength to ground him. They worked in a perfect balance of give and take for 37 years. Tim will live on through his name, his boys Scott who looks so much like him at times and Chris too who has his heart and the gentle side of his spirit. I know how proud he was of all his children and especially the beautiful twin girls, Kristy and Kelly who he reluctantly released to the world as they grew up, for they were Daddy’s girls.

He was my big brother for 56 years and I admired him from afar most of my life. I am so pleased that we had a few moments of expressing our respect and love in the last few years and I’ll cherish the dance we had at Chris and Julie’s wedding and the last hug in the parking lot when our father died. I am very proud that he was my brother.

Beau Bottin

I will always miss my father in law Tim. From the very first time I came over to take Kelly out, he was nothing but extremely nice and generous to me. Within no time at all, he treated me like a member of his family. He was always very proud of the accomplishments that occurred as Kelly and I became closer. My son has such a good mother because of the strong family values that have been passed down. I have never seen a family as close-knit as the Barnwells, and that is a living legacy to a great man. Tim, enjoy your well earned rest, and we miss you horribly already. We'll all be counting on you to help Brady keep his eye on the ball in a couple of years.

Love,

Otto H. Bottin IV "Beau", loving son-in-law

I wish I could be with you tomorrow, however I will not be able to attend. Tim was a very special man, who never knew an enemy nor had an unkind word for anyone. I will miss him greatly as I remember the days of seeing him at the ballparks. Tim loved the game of baseball and enjoyed the days of watching Scott and Chris as they grew and mastered the game. He was always willing to help any child who ever had a question about the game of baseball or life in general. The entire Elliott family Lucy, Randall, Jerry and Tammy send our deepest sympathy to all of you. It had been quite some time since I last saw Tim and for this I am deeply sorry. He was a true friend and I will remember Tim forever . If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to call me. 904-699-3555

Tim's Family: Tim Barnwell was a gentleman, and a pleasure to work with. He would always take the time to stop and chat. Telling stories about his grandson & the rest of the family too. He was kind and considerate of everyone, it did not matter if you were the President of the Company or just a worker. He was a sincerely nice man. We are so very sorry for your loss.

To Ronnie, Scott, Chris, Kristy, and Kelly! My heart aches for all in hearing of Tim's passing. He was in every way a friend that cared about others and we will miss him so. He surely was Christlike in many ways that was so sincere as I never heard an unkind word towards anyone. The memories of Tim and your family will be remembered for Eternity. I pray we can honor Tim by always being kind to one another and never take each other for granted. Tim was always there and he will still be. The scripture is true when it says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath not another to help him up!" So thank you Tim for being there to always help and lift us up now and for the eternies. Love, Jim, Winnie, and Family. PS. God needed another master builder to help build mansions and Tim is that Master Builder.

Yesterday we lost someone that has been too special in my life to put into words. Our families were so close that Tim seemed more like a 2nd dad than just a friend, and all of his children my brothers and sisters. There will be a hole in my heart that can never be filled, and I look forward to the day when I can see him and give him a hug and tell him how much I love him. The world was a much happier place with him in it. Even though its a sad time, I know he would want us all to smile and remember all the good times. Tim, thanks for helping raise me. You're the man!!! To the rest of the family, I love you and look forward to seeing you this next week.
Love,
Dennis (& Melissa) Ray

We only had the pleasure of meeting
Tim once at our son's birthday party.
Our families were brought together
by the meeting of our son Fred and
Tim & Roni's beloved daughter Kristy.
The love and the closeness of the
Barnwell family was made possible
by the strength provided by Tim &
Roni. This is to be admired by all.
We know Tim was dearly loved and
he will be missed. Just remember he
is always watching over you.
In Gods Love,

Lindsey & Sharon Grey
