Jeffrey Timothy Balthrop, age 65, of Ashland City, passed away suddenly on December 29, 2025. He was born on January 12, 1960, in Nashville, Tennessee.

Timmy was preceded in death by his parents, Russell and Helen Balthrop of Ashland City; his brother, Jerry Balthrop of Athens, Georgia; and his brother-in-law, George Carr of Vicksburg, Mississippi.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 39 years, Kerri Potts Balthrop; his loving daughters, Rachel (Josh) Stuart of Ashland City, Tennessee, and Lindsey Balthrop of Boston, Massachusetts; and his cherished grandsons, Jace Stuart and Peyton Stuart, who lovingly knew him as "Tim Bone."
