Tim was born August 19, 1960 to Robert Wayne Durr and Johnnye Faye Durr in Shreveport, Louisiana and passed away Tuesday, August 29, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.

Tim worked in public accounting throughout his life. He worked for Cole, Evans, and Peterson beginning on August 24, 1981 and quickly excelled in his career. He became a partner at the firm on September 1, 1986, at the young age of 26, and he later became involved in staff recruiting, training and management for CEP. He loved being a part of CEP and became a mentor to many. Tim took great pride in his work and treated his clients as if they were extended family. Throughout his youth, he was an avid water skier, loved playing pickup basketball games, and enjoyed riding roller coasters. Most of all, he thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family--especially trips to the beach with his grandchildren. Even during trying times, he maintained his upbeat personality and positive outlook. In all aspects of life, Tim went above and beyond in meeting the needs of others, and his expertise and perceptive guidance will be missed by many.

He is survived by his two daughters, Ashley Nicole Durr and Amanda A’lese Durr and husband Kisan Parikh; grandchildren Ulysses S. Coleman IV, Timothy Minor Coleman, Rajleigh Faye Parikh; sister, Becky Durr and husband Mark Doughty; brother, Larry Durr; niece Christy Guenard and husband Trey Guenard; and nephew Wesley Dowden.
