Tim was born on September 7, 1977, in Brownsville, TN to Timothy and Carol Sills.  He was a special agent for the ABC with the State of Tennessee. He was an avid outdoorsman who spent most Saturday mornings riding his four-wheeler down in the Hatchie Bottom, a place that he dearly loved. He was a simple man who will long be remembered as kindhearted, very frugal, and a loyal friend. He had several loves, first being his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his family, his friends, old classic cars, working on his old trucks, his dogs and aggravating his nieces, nephews, and his buddies. He had a green thumb when it came to working in his garden, where he achieved a certificate for being a master gardener.  After his cancer diagnosis, he asked why me? He said we never know how much time we have left on this earth, but I now know my days are numbered, and I will use what time I have remaining to glorify God. He prayed that God would give him a platform to share his testimony. 

He is survived by his wife, Dana Sills; his mother, Carol Beck Sills; one brother, Joe Wallace Sills (Amanda), all of Brownsville, TN; one daughter, Lainey Maley (Jonathan) of Ridgeland, MS; two step sons, Josh Smith (Caryle) of Munford, TN,  and Taylor Smith (Lulu) of Brighton, TN; one brother-in-law, Hunter Edwards (Dawne) of Covington, TN; two nephews, Wallace Ford Sills, Stone Edwards; two nieces, Avery Grace Sills, Clara Rains Sills; one granddaughter, Etta Mae Smith and one granddaughter on the way May 5th, Bray Bryce Smith. 

He was preceded in death by his father, Timothy Rains Sills, Sr.; his grandparents, Charles and Helen Lee, Bill Beck, Joe Wallace and Peggy Sills.
