Timothy Wishert Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Eckols Funeral Home, Inc. on Mar. 26, 2026.
With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Timothy Craig Wishert, affectionately known to many as "Timmy," who left this world peacefully on March 22, 2026, at the age of 59, surrounded by the love and warmth of his family. Born on March 9, 1967, in Karnes City, Texas, Timmy's life was a testament to love, laughter, and selfless giving. Timmy was the beloved son of Wayne and Beverly Wishert, who were his constant companions and steadfast source of encouragement throughout his life. He was a devoted brother to Jeff, wife Tonya, Matt his wife Cindy, with whom he shared countless adventures and joyful moments. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Clyde and Beatrice Wishert, Marvin and Beatrice Dabbs, whose memories he held dear. A graduate of Kenedy High School's Class of 1985, Timmy became a local legend during his school years, known as "the Blur", for his remarkable speed and agility. He showcased his athletic prowess in the Special Olympics, where he earned seven medals in track and field events, bringing pride to his family and schoolmates. Timmy's life was a tapestry woven with humor and kindness. Known for his playful spirit, he delighted in pulling practical jokes on his brothers and friends, whether it was filling hats with bugs or cleverly hiding items they mentioned needing. His laughter was infectious, and his joy for life was boundless. A member of the First Baptist Church of Karnes City, Timmy's faith was a guiding light in his life. He was always willing to share his favorite bible verses with anyone who visited. He found great pleasure in walking the streets of his hometown with his father, Wayne, collecting loose change along the way. In a testament to his generous heart, Timmy amassed $500 in coins, which he donated to the Karnes City Volunteer Fire Department, a gesture that exemplified his spirit of giving. Timmy's love for stories knew no bounds; he relished reading and having stories read to him, finding wonder and joy in the written word. His life was a story of kindness, humor, and love, and all those who knew him were blessed to be part of his journey. In accordance with his family's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to honor Timmy's life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Timmy's memory to the Karnes City Public Library, or the Karnes City Volunteer Fire Department, ensuring that his love for community service continues to inspire others. As we bid farewell to Timmy, we celebrate a life well-lived, filled with laughter, love, and a legacy of generosity. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Rest in peace, Timmy; your spirit will forever light our hearts.

A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held Saturday April, 18, 2026 at the First Baptist Church in Karnes City, TX at 10:00 A:M. Inurnment will follow in the Karnes City Cemetery, in Karnes City, TX.
