Mr. Tillman was a lifelong truck driver and could drive anything with wheels and some things without. He was born into a family of truck drivers and was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about all things trucking.
During his over the road travels for work, Mr. Tillman would often minister to people at delivery points in various cities across the country. He loved sharing the word of God to anyone who would listen. He started his own outreach ministry called Feed My Sheep under the leadership of Apostle Vera Roberts of Deliverance and Victory Five-fold worship ministry that included feeding anyone who needed a meal as well as offering a word from God. His ribs and greens will be missed by many as well as a lifetime of memories.
