Timothy Bobbitt Obituary
Timothy Graves Bobbitt, 69, formerly of Charlottesville, died on Thursday, February 17, 2022, after a courageous battle with Parkinson's.
He was born on March 10, 1952, in Charlottesville, Va., son of the late Dr. O.B. Bobbitt Jr., and Betty Kearse Bobbitt. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Wesley.
Tim was a graduate of St. Andrews School, Middletown, Del., and of Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Va. He worked in various political capacities in Washington, D.C., where he lived most of his adult life. Tim loved his friends and family, film, and holidays. Although he never married, he was a romantic at heart. A conservative, he put forth his energy in supporting those who acted in what he believed to be in his country's best interest. Tim was known for his easygoing manner and his profound loyalty and love of all of his friends and acquaintances. He was never known to say anything bad about anyone. Tim was also known for his deep, abiding faith.
He is survived by his brother, Oliver Beirne "Bo" Bobbitt III (Bonnie), of Fayetteville, Ga.; nephews, Russell Bobbitt (Katie), John Browning, and Jerrod Sanchez (Monika); a niece, Melanie; several grand-nieces and cousins; an aunt, Mary F. "Beezie" Kearse; an uncle, John S. "Jack" Ingersoll; and sisters-in-law, Cindy Weber and Helen Browning.
Special thanks to the staff at the Annandale Healthcare Center.

I am really saddened to learn of Tim's death through the Mary Washington Alumni magazine. I got to know Tim my senior year-he was a good friend. We played guitar together on Ball Circle at Mary Washington. Sending prayers and love to his family.

I used to call Tim my brother. We met at Mary Washington and became the best of friends. Tim was so much fun and my family had so many memories with him. That friendship lasted most of our lives. We both shared a deep faith that I know must have sustained him until the end. And he is finally home sadly we had lost touch in the last few years, I hope he was loved and taken care of until his final days. We´ll meet again someday and I will apologize for attending the Bob Dylan concert without him

Always the quiet one, young Tim Bobbitt...
Never first to speak, but someone who always picked-up the phone and listened; for an hour, for two hours, or three. It didn't matter how much time you needed, he was there.

Always great to see Tim out at mutual gatherings with friends. Tim never had a bad word to say about anyone. Great friend. We'll miss you. You have been and are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace my friend, and may your family be comforted knowing you are with God.

Tim was a wonderful friend. He was so kind and cheerful to so many over the years. He was the perfect companion for any party or dinner, a sympathetic shoulder during trying times, and someone who truly relished and celebrated the success and achievements of his friends. Tim was generous with his time, and his hospitality. Tim was a gentleman and honorable at work as well, where he mentored many and generously opened doors for those who were younger or newer to Washington, D.C. He never took advantage of another person's weaknesses and instead used his gentility and disarming charm to push others forward. Tim was a Christian is all senses of the word. God bless you, Tim.

I remember sometime after I had accepted Jesus the Christ as my Savior in 1968 that Timmy had said that he too had made a commitment also to Christ.
