Deepest sympathies go out to the Banion family. Tim was a good man and a true pleasure to be around. He will be missed on the ball field this year, but not forgotten. Tim was a great coach, and it was obvious that he helped shape the character and lives of those fortunate enough to have known him and played ball for him. He will be missed.
God Bless.

todd,jeff,alan,lynn, and to the rest of the banion family, there are no words to describe all that tim meant to so many people, but to me he was like a brother, i still remember playing basketball in the alley, when we were kids, and him being the only one brave enough to play football with the older guys, he learned from having older brothers to have no fear, i think you older brothers made us all a little better. and even though we traveled different paths, he never once judged, and always treated me as a friend, i will miss him very much, but ,i know he is with , his mother and father, and though i will feel sad for myself, i will rejoice for him, and of course you all know, if there is anything we can do, we will be here for you, take care.

I managed the bank where Tim was employed.
He was a great guy, every one in the bank thought very highly of Tim and when he decided to leave the bank to become self employed we were sad to see him leave.
I am no longer in Springfield but read the Springfield news paper and was really shocked to see Tims name.
We have lost him but Tim is now in the house of the Lord, fare well dear friend and welcome home to the Lords house.

Aunt Lynn, Haley, Vince, and Nick, we hope you are all being strong. Uncle Tim is in a better place and one day all of us Banion's will see him again. Like P.J said Uncle Tim is probably back with Grandma and Grandpa and all the other family members that have passed having a great time.

Jen, Jess and I are so sorry for the loss of an obvoiusly wondeful husband,dad, and the best softball coach Jessie has EVER had. The way Tim, Lynn, and the rest of the 2008 Sparks 14U fastpitch softball team accepted Jessie and all of us as part of the South Charleston community is so admirable. We have never felt so much apart of a team and a community. In such a short period of time I grew to love Tim. The whole Clark County area will sadly miss his smile, friendship, and leadership. May God bless you and give you peace in the fact of knowing he is in Heaven with his Heavenly father..

Your wisdom and strength were there for me when I was in high school giving me advise about basketball, patience, and not quiting when I was down.
Our football games with Jeff, Tom, Bill and me. There will always be those memories of great competition I will never forget. You were the leader and athlete I always work to be like.
I want to thank the you, Jeff, and Alan for letting me be part of your families life.

January 21, 2009
Lynn and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy. I understand what you are going through, but want to extend what I have learned by trusting in God and leaning on him for reassurance that Tim is in the most beautiful place right now. Most importantly, by keeping faith in our one true God, we will all be reunited once again.
Just after Angie passed away, I came across a letter that she had written in rememberance of my mother (Joy).
To learn life’s lessons in the hardest way possible was not what I would have foretold for my future. It was today that I learned how close life and death really are. It was today that I learned how short life is, and how lucky I have been so far. Trying to understand why God can take away someone so needed was not one of my strongest points. Realizing that every life she touched will never be the same hit me as horrifying yet comforting thought. She has made a difference in my life as well as many, many others, and I have learned things about myself and others that aren’t describable in written English. I pray that everything I have learned about thus far will never be forgotten; not in the happiest times, not in the lowest/saddest times, not ever. Is it even real. I am not afraid of dying, I am afraid for those who do not go along with me. I know that in death, there is no pain, only happiness. There is no problems, there is no hunger, there is no fear, there is no anticipation; only love and patience (waiting for all of your loved ones to come and join you. I love you!
Angela
You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Tim will be remembered in the hearts of many.

Lynne and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Tim, he will be missed by so many people. Tim was a great man, a great friend and just a true loyal person.
Tim and I were good friends in school, we both had sports in common and we both loved baseball. We had tons of laughs through the years.
If you need anything please let me know. I would be happy to help in any way I can.
Keep strong, he is in a great place and will be watching over you every day.
Love, Julie Sadler (Colliflower)
