Timothy O'Brien Nimmo was born on May 13, 1945, in the Central African Republic, to the late William F. Nimmo and Elizabeth O'Brien Nimmo. Timothy lived a life devoted to God, his family, and service to others.

He went on to enjoy a career in aviation, working for many years as an Airline Captain with World Airways. Above all else, Timothy was a man of Faith. He was known for his generous spirit, his love for his family, and his ability to treat everyone he met as a friend.

He is survived by his loving son, Joshua Nimmo (Sarah Parnass); his granddaughter, Chloe Parmo; his former wife, Naomi Nimmo; as well as numerous beloved nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; as well as his siblings: Patricia Doty, Andrew Nimmo, and Ridley Nimmo.
