Timothy Alan Ballinger

My heart broke today when I heard the terrible news. Tim Ballinger was my insurance agent since January 1998. He was with us through the years with advise and genuine interest. He always looked out for my family. We left the LA area in 2004 but kept him as our agent. Every time I spoke with him he seemed to remember me as if we spoke often. He had a gift for making me feel taken care of. My deepest condolences to his family. RIP Tim. You made a difference in this world.

Tim was a long time friend, and my agent... he was a good man... gone too soon... :(

I just now heard of this when I called the office. I am at a loss for words. Tim was more than an insurance agent, he took care of my family and I, if I had any questions regarding home or auto insurance, he always made the time for me. He was a treasure and will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to his family.

I only just recently learned of Tim's passing. I was genuinely saddened to hear the news. Tim was more than an insurance agent to me. He went above and beyond to help me through some tough times. Tim was there whenever I needed support. We had a couple great conversations after my Mom and his Dad passed away within months of each other. I'll never forget his wisdom and advice, his kindness and genuine caring. We need more people like Tim in this world. He will be missed.

You will be missed. The Freitas Family

My family and I just found out about Tims passing and we are at a loss for words! We send our deepest condolences to his family. He was always the kindest man, and always tried his best to meet our needs, making us feel appreciated and supported. I think he has been our agent for over 30 years! To hear of this was shocking...so very sorry! He will be missed by many!

My husband and I just found out today of Tim's passing. Our hearts sank. He will be terribly missed. He was not only a great agent but a man with integrity and always made you feel welcomed. He had a great heart, warm smile, sincerity and pride with his work. He has touched everyone he has met.

A great loss and will be missed. Heartfelt sympathy to his wife, sons and extended family.

I was a long time Allstate agent as Tim was. I never knew Tim very well, but golfed together on a couple occasions and would see him at meetings through the years. I always knew Tim to be a very kind and personable soul. I am so sorry that Tim has left us far too soon. I am thinking and praying for his family at this time. Tim Larkin

Tim was my insurance friend for years. If you knew Tim you knew his Honda Accord station wagon. What a great person. I will truly miss his smile, his laugh and his advice. I just heard of this terrible news. He will truly be missed. My prayers to the family.

I moved all my cars insurance from AAA to AllState with Tim back in 2002. I was so pleased to have met him and talked to him about the best insurance for me and the family Tim always gave me great advise. Im a big golfer and he and I we always talked about golf and courses we had played. Just today I found out he had passed and Im sure going to miss him. My deepest condolence to his family and the AllState family. Rest In Peace. Client and Friend,
Herbert Ventura.

Tim was awesome. He was my agent since 1990 or 91 and I cannot find the right words to describe what a good guy he was. His passing hit me hard as I remember that he really helped me and my family out and I will never forget it. Many blessings and much comfort to his many family and friends. Peace to all.

I am very surprised to hear of Tim's passing. He was my agent since 1991 and he is one of the nicest guy I've met in my life.

Condolence to the family. I will surely miss him. The laughs when we are talking about golf. He is definitely golfing up there.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tim at a golf tournament 4 years ago. We kept in touch occasionally. I am absolutely stunned by Tim's passing. Tim was an awesome man! May God bless you folks during this difficult and trying time. I am very sorry for your loss.

Tim Ballinger Closing Statement Draft v2

Tim was a devoted husband, father, son, boss, and friend. He took pride in his family, supporting them in times of need, and teaching them to find and meet the needs of others. He took pride in his career, especially in educating and providing a service to his community and those around him, allowing others to live a more secure and hopeful life, inside and outside of the office. He took pride in his friends, and was equally grateful and humbled by your comradery, generosity, and encouragement through all of lifes challenges that he faced.

He had a loving heart, and cared for others so much and in so many different ways that we often were left not knowing how to repay him, if at all possible. Yet in this way, whatever unique void that Tim has left each of us, he has also given us an opportunity to do just that: To allow his memory to encourage us, to live a life honoring those values he embodied that helped us to grow, and to kindle the integrity, dedication, and love of those surrounding us.
