Robert Leroy Timmons

Sat 8-2-2025 Dear Dad... I really miss you so much. The more I read about men, the more I begin to understand you.... and appreciate you. You were such a great story teller of true testimonies. We all loved to hear your character manifest as you shared them, so enthusiastically. And you had such a wonderful sense of humor that was mostly seen & heard when you were free from most of your stress. Sure appreciated the way you taught others to have the correct form in various athletic...

(Sun) 9-8-2024 Dad, I still miss you sooo very much. My heart just breaks that you and mom are gone. The longer I live on this earth, the more I begin to under-stand you more. Thank you for everything you did, or said, to help me in life. ::I´m so very grateful:: May the Lord keep you in His secret place and continue to honor you for all that you accomplished, no matter how great or small... and especially what you did, intentionally for God- risking your life overseas, to spread the...

Found this picture of Mr Timmons.thought the family would want it

Love and Prayers for your family!

coach Timmons was my hero and we all need heroes. all my life I have told Timmons stories to inspire others. he made barbells out of coffee cans, concrete and a steel bar, one for every swimmer for the necessary weight training. his athletes gave it their all in practice and meets,not out of fear or intimidation but because they didn't want to disappoint coach Timmons. we were so lucky to have him in our lives. he was a coaches coach.

The family of Wallace and Jimmie Kraft extend their condolences to the family, in particular to Pat and Dan who offered their friendship as neighbors these past 18 years. Our thoughts are with you.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Robert Timmons. Please accept our sincere condolances during this time.

I met Timmie and Pat when they started coming to the Mustard Seed. Timmie and my husband, Ron, who has since passed away, would go on walks every morning. He'd come by the house and they would take adventurous walks to prepare for the mission trips we would go on. Sometimes they would let me tag along. He would dress up in a silly clown outfit, and blow up balloons, and give out candy. The children loved him. Also our trip to Israel was wonderful ( another adventure). GOOD MEMORIES..May...

I worked closely with Coach Timmons when I was a member of the Kansas Relays Committee and Relays chairman in 1970. He was a great person to work with. He did not think my idea crazy of inviting Soviet world-class athletes to the 1983 Kansas Athletes. He helped me tremendously with the planning of that event, which turned out to be a major international news story ("The Russians Are Coming--to Kansas!"). The Relays was featured by ABC, CBS, Soviet state television, and major American...
