I read the Greenville News story this morning about your son's death with sadness and shock...such a wonderful young man with so much to give to this darkening world. What a loss for you all. Death is certainly horrid for the loved ones left here, but as we know from Psalms 116:15, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." May God comfort you all with his promise of life eternal in heaven.

Timothy opened up his house to me, my husband and our two toddlers so we could go to a Mountain of Worship conference in Columbia, SC. He took so much time to prepare his room for us and was so gracious in having us. At the time he shared the house with two other room mates who agreed for us to come. Tim was one of the kindest people I have ever met. He made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He had such a humility and joy about him. I feel blessed to have been able to spend time with him. Looking forward to seeing him again in God's kingdom. My prayers to his precious family and friends at this time.

Dear Gentry Family,
I know of two occasions when All of Heaven rejoices. One, being when a sinner repents, the other is when Heaven receives one of God's children again.
We are told to put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, to lift up our voice to God. Though it is very hard, I know there is power in doing so. You have raised your children to love God and to trust Him. In so doing, you have honored Him. Tim, gave his life loving and teaching others about Jesus. God's plan is being fulfilled for His glory, and His grace will carry you through this trying time. May God's grace and comfort be manifested to all of you.
May God bless you and bind the wounds of your broken hearts; He is near the broken hearted!
Love to all,
Vicki

Our love and prayers for His sustaining comfort.

I've been listening to a song all week, thinking of Tim and praying for the family! We are an Ark by Dave Fitzgerald. Tim certainly was an Ark of the glory of God and of His presence and now Tim is seeing all that God has prepared for him, so beyond what he could have possibly imagined. Tim is home! I pray there is comfort and peace for you in that as well as knowing that you will see him again one day in a blessed reunion!

It's a rare blessing to meet someone that is genuinely kindhearted and exhibits a truly Christian spirit toward all they meet but Tim embodied that spirit. I was blessed to meet Tim years ago when I was a Co-Counselor at Camp Sertoma with Ben. He was an awesome young man who had a wonderful spirit and a contagious smile. His walk in this world was a true testimony and it was truly a blessing having known Tim. Condolences to the Gentry family from the Stone family.

Dear Dr. Gentry and Robin,
Please know my prayers are extended to you and your family. Timothy's love of life and the Lord was evident beyond words even when he was in the fourth grade. He was a shining light of hope and brightness with his contagious laugh. I am so blessed to have been allowed to have been his teacher. His class holds a special place in my heart.
I am praying Psalm 91 for you.
Please know you have my deepest sympathy ,

Mere words can not express the shock and disbelief of this unspeakable tragedy. David and I are heartbroken for the Gentry family. Our son Nick and Timothy wrestled together in high school and were friends. Timothy was so much like Nick in the way they both share the desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We praise the Lord that Timothy is now in the comfort of the arms of Jesus. He will be missed until we meet him again in Heaven. David and I will continue to pray for his family and his betrothed.
