Tim had a very giving heart and always tried to help those in need when it was within his capabilities. He loved spending time with his family. He attended church with his family for twelve years at New Life Assembly of God in Trenton, Florida, then attended Impact Family Church of High Springs, Florida for seven years. He took pleasure in a variety of artistic endeavors, including photography. He also enjoyed bowling, playing horseshoes, and watching movies.
