It has been six years now, and I think of my old friend frequently. I think of many long insightful conversations, and many fun trips. David was always a true friend and always looked after everyone around him, I can only pray that I can be half the man he was. God bless David and your family.

September 6, 2009

wow... I know it's been 3 years. I just read the latest entry from this.... I still haven't forgotten about him. I still think about him. I still pray and wish that the army still made a mistake. I know it's a long shot but I still wish everyday that this was all a dream. There is not a day where I don't think of you and the times we shared. I still would give anything for this all to be a dream.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”

I did not know David, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I never quite had the chance to say goodbye, because I missed his call before he deployed. David was one of my dearest friends while I was stationed at Fort Drum, NY. I miss him very much. He always had a way of making me smile when I was feeling down. I know that he is in a better place. Love you always, your "Freedom Girl"

Our HEROS shall NEVER be forgotten.Rest well brother,that star spangled banner will FOREVER wave.Your name stamped in steel FOREVER clutched in the tallons,And spirit will FOREVER soar high in the skies in the symbol of our great nation...

August 16, 2007

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

David was my oldest and only brother that I had. I was the first one to get the news that " Jay" was dead. I was very shocked because I figure, no it could not have been my brother. I miss him dearly. I aftering reading everyones entry in this guest book, just lets me know he live his life the fullest and cared about everybody he met. I appriecate all the prayers that have been for my family and I. Even though its been six months it feels like it happpen yesterday all over again.

We were terribly shocked to learn of JR's passing. He and my boys, Kevin and Henry "H" Austin grew up together on Cloister Drive. He was one of the nicest boys I know. He'd make any parent proud. He was always so polite. He and "Lannie" visited us often. He will be deeply missed. I can't begin to imagine the pain you must feel right now. It hurts me when I think about him.

I know he is with God our Father now and all is well with his soul. I feel blessed to have known him.

Our prayers and thoughts are always with you.

I know I may be a little late in signing the guest book...but from the bottom of my heart I am sorry about your loss. I use to work with David at Chuck E Cheese my twin brother also worked with us. David always knew how to put a smile on our faces and we had alot of good times. When my twin brother called me and told me about what happened.. I could not believe it and I was shocked. I pray that God will bless you and your family.

Dear Timmons family, my heart and prayers continue to be there for your family. My son, Taner Edens, was buddies with David, being in the same platoon. Taner was able to escort the bodies home, feeling this was the least he could do for his fellow soldiers to see that they got back home to their families and to try to provide himself with some closure with these friends. I hope this finds you realizing how treasured your sons friendship was to my son. I would like you to contact me at my e-mail address if you would please. Thank you for supporting your son and the many others that continue to serve our country. God Bless!

David was my son's roommate (shawn passman). I met David in my home just before they left for Ft. Drum. David told one of my neighbors that he would watch after Shawn for us. I know that David kept his word. He seemed to be a very good man and loved being a "scout". The day Shawn called me and told me the news he said that losing David was like losing a family member. Our Sunday School class has been praying for your family. May God give you the strength to face each day. We will continue to pray for you.

I would like to extend my deepest condolences for the family. I went to the bank to pay a bill and my friend that works at the bank told me that David died. I was shocked I went home and looked in my yearbook because I went to Hanes Middle School with him. I just cant believe he is gone. But he is truly in a better place.

Dionne Mayfield

June 13, 2006

I can remember David stopping me in the halls of West Forsyth and saying "Dionne! did you do your homework?" I'd say, Oh!MAN! What homework? (lol) I only have good memories about him. He was so sweet and always had a smile on his face. I will continue to pray for the family. He was truly an awesome friend and he will be greatly missed!

We did not know your son David, but wish to extend our deepest sympathy to your family for a true hero. He graduated from West a year before our youngest son Chris. Chris has chosen a military career as has our oldest son. It is hard to understand why this can happen but we know those in the military are working so hard to do what they feel is right and we need to be very supportive of them. Our hearts go out to you all at this sad time and we will keep you in our prayers. Sincerely, Ginny and Gary Foote

I am sorry to hear about David. He was one of the nicest guys I knew in high school. Every day I saw him he would bring a smile to my face. When I had rough days he would make me laugh and he was always there for me. The last time I saw him was about 3 years ago before I moved and he met my husband who is also in the Army. When I found out about his death I was in total shock. Because not only did I not know he joined but I too have a loved one in the Army and Army life is very hard. But I know David served his country proudly and he is truly a HERO in my book. David, I will miss you and remember we still have soldiers fighting for you and others who have died and I will see you in heaven one day!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that words can not express the emotions you all are feeling at this time. Just know that our Savior listens to what is in our hearts not what comes out of our mouths and He will attend to our every need. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.



Mrs. Cynthia, I did not know your son on a personal level; but I do know that he was the seed of a very beautiful, loving, and caring mother. My special prayer for you is that God gives you the strength to continue standing so that you may be an example for me and other mothers that look upon you and draw from your strength.



Be blessed and highly favored of the Lord, my friend, until we meet again.



I Love you.

I am yet another person signing the guestbook of someone I did not know, however I do remember what the emotions can be like at times of uncertainty. I am the wife of a Marine who served in Iraq at the start of the war and the sister of a National Guardsman who also served in Iraq. I am deeply saddened by your familys loss. Knowing that there are several families that are going through or have gone through the same ordeal doesn't make it any easier I don't think. But having the support of those you know and those you don't helps. Again I am sorry for your loss and pray that God will continue to give you the ongoing strength you will need during this time of sorrow and such great pride. I thank him for his undying passion,bravery and courage to serve our country, he may be gone but never forgotten, you all are in my prayers. God Bless You.

You do not know me but . . . I wanted to tell you how terribly sorry I am for your loss. My son just got back from Iraq in February and had lost his roommate of a year 10 days before coming home.



I am so PROUD of David . . . his sense of duty . . . his courage . . . his committment . . . his love for this country. I did not know him personally but . . . I do believe he was a TRUE MAN OF CHARACTER. We may have PYSCIALLY lost a hero, but . . . . he will live on and on in the memories of those who loved him, those who knew him, and . . . those who heard about how he gave his life so that the rest of us could have a better and safer life here in the UNITED STATES.



God give you the peace that surpasses all understanding and I pray it will get you through until that GLORIOUS day when you will be re-united with your wonderful son. I know when he found himself in the presence of the Father, he heard . . . "I am so very pleased my faithful servant". God bless bless you all and thank you, Lord, for the gift of David Nelson Timmons, Jr. For the short while he was on this earth, he made a DIFFERENCE . . . . HIS FOOTPRINTS WILL NEVER BE ERASED!! God bless and keep you all. I ask God that you are able to stay strong until that day of your eventual reunion.

My nephew is a soldier in Afghanistan and served with David. They were buddies, and my nephew is devastated with his loss, as am I. David is a true hero. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Timmons family.

May God bless you and your family in this diffulcult time. We became friends with David when he worked at Chuck E. Cheese, He and my daughter (Noe'l) became like brother and sister, we kept in touch with him through-out his station making sure that he was ok.

May God wrap his loving arms around you and your family and comfort you.

I would like to express my sympathy to the family of David. I worked with him at Skate Haven for probably about a year if not longer. He loved children, every kid would want to skate holding his hand. He always had a positive outlook on life and I, along with the rest of the Skate Haven staff will miss him dearly.

To David's family......from the deepest of my heart I am deeply saddened by the passing of David. My son, Taner Edens, is a member of David's platoon, and he had accompanied David(and the other nine soldiers) back to the states, from Afghanistan. Taner told us he shared alot of time with David and hung out with him alot. I cannot imagine your pain...just to know I almost lost Taner...I just cannot imagine what you must feel. Please know my heart is deeply stirred, and my prayer to you is that the Lord will give you all great comfort, and peace which surpasses all understanding. May the Lord sustain you and grant you all, abundant blessings. God Bless each and everyone of you!

Dave was one of the first people I knew at Fort Drum. He was always warm and welcoming and never unhappy. I'm glad I had the opportunity to share happy times with such a great person.



Dave you are an excellent friend! I still hear your voice and you will continue to live on. Your life was precious on earth but God had plans beyond what we could understand.

To the Timmons family. I am a mother of a soldier of the 10th mountain division in afghanistan too. When I heard the news of the chopper I was so scared. I new my son was there. He finally called and said he is ok, but its hard mom, this is hard. I wish I could say something that would take away some of your pain. I'll be thinking about you and your family. Your son will never be forgotten.

I wish I could know something about David, and the person who is behind this very personal legacy. It is so important that we can let you know how much we care about David's sacrifice, but we also know that David as a person lighted so many different places, and touched so many different people. We have our own experience with our son Benjamin C. Schuster, killed Ramadi Iraq on February 25, 2006. We were upheld by the outpouring of love and support from strangers as well as military and friends. David matters to so many of us, and will continue to do so, long after you feel his name has left the news. We will always value all he has given for what he believed in, and hope for comfort and love for the family he has left temporarily left behind.
