Timothy Donald "Tim" Marks

Timothy Donald "Tim" Marks, age 69, passed away on October 7, 2022, after a short, but courageous battle with cancer.
Tim was born in Montreal, Canada, in February of 1953.
He spent his childhood moving with his parents throughout North, Central and South America. Tim moved from Caracas, Venezuela, to Moultrie, Georgia, where he attended and graduated from Colquitt County High School in 1970.
He attended Georgia Southwestern State University, where he met the love of his life and wife of 49 years, Jo Samples Marks.
After graduating, he began working at Helena Chemical Company, which eventually brought them to Statesboro in 1976, where he enjoyed a rewarding 40-year career.
Tim and Jo prided themselves on building a family and a Christian household. They attended First Baptist Church Statesboro, where he was active in his men's Sunday school class.
He cherished his daughter, Katie; and son, Smith; and was the true definition of a family man.
He was known for his bright smile, his generous heart and his kind spirit.
