Timothy Hall Hoke

Timothy Hall Hoke, known to family and friends as Timmy, passed away on Friday, November 23, 2018 at the age of 44. He was born on February 24, 1974 in Gulfport, MS to Timothy Hoke and Cindy Bryant Hoke. Timmy is survived by his parents and his siblings; Chris Hoke (Amanda), Brad Hoke, and Tiffany Hoke Herting (Chris). He is also survived by his nephew/godchild (Cohen Hoke), nieces (Bailey & Kayden Hoke, Kinlee & Saylor Herting), and his godchild Holly Kliebert; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly. Timmy is preceded in death by his grandparents, Ambrosia “Joey” Garcia, Doris Glaser Garcia, and Phyllis Hoke.

A native of New Orleans, Timmy attended Visitation of Our Lady and Brother Martin High School where he graduated with honors in the Class of 1992. He later served as Staff Sergeant in our U.S. Air Force before he was honorably discharged in 2009. Following his service to our country, Timmy went on to pursue his dream of becoming an actor earning roles in box office hits such as Now You See Me (2013), The Campaign (2012), Focus (2015); popular TV series including Star-Crossed, Suit Up 2, and NCIS New Orleans; and local television commercials.   He can still be seen today on the infamous Morris Bart Commercials!   Additionally, he played a pivotal part in training various cast members on character and scene analysis, improvisation, cold reading, and auditioning.

Timmy had many talents and greatly enjoyed watching and playing volleyball, golf, football, and all things sports, especially LSU.   Those who knew him could always count on Timmy for a wisecrack and a good joke to make you laugh. He will forever be remembered by friends, family, and loved ones as a man with deep passion and commitment who lived and served those around him. His energetic approach to life touched and inspired so many over the years, which is why he will be so deeply missed by his family and friends.
