Timothy Shofner Obituary
Tim was born in Wake County on February 12, 1959 to John and Laura Driver Shofner of Goldsboro. He had worked as the Plant Maintenance Supervisor at Caswell Center in Kinston. Tim enjoyed playing pool with his son, fishing, golfing, going to turkey shoots, taking care of his dogs and horses and most of all being with his grandchildren. He had a lasting impact on everyone he met and will be dearly missed. Tim?s greatest joy was spending time with family and friends, telling his special stories, and taking his grandchildren on golf cart rides.
A service celebrating Tim?s life will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at the Family of Faith Community Church in Goldsboro with Rev. John Earnest officiating. The family will receive friends Saturday following the service at the church.
In addition to his parents, Tim is survived by his son, Timothy Gordon Shofner II and wife Heather of Kinston; daughter, Christina Dale and husband Gregory of Kenly; his grandchildren and the apples of his eye, Brionna ?Little Bit? Shofner, Mackenzie ?M.J.? Shofner, and Paislee ?Little P? Dale; his step-grandchildren, Sean, Triston and Grace Dale; his fiancée, Dillan Bryan of the home; son, Hunter Bryan of the home; and a special son, Sampson. He is also survived by his sisters, Susan Shofner Jones and husband Bobby of Raleigh, Sherilyn Shofner of Goldsboro and Jennifer Shofner Bullard and husband Troy of Four Oaks; the mother of his children, Elizabeth Lemon; and several nieces and nephews he loved very much.

When I think of Tim I always remember his smile which would light up any room. I knew him from working at Caswell Center. He was always very nice and helpful when I would need assistance from his work area. May the family find peace and comfort through God who is with us always. RIP Tim.

I was so saddened to hear of Tim's passing. I remember him when I was a child and called him "Uncle Tim" (although we were cousins!) because he seemed so tall, larger than life and was always smiling. Our prayers are with the Shofner family during this time. My family and I are planning to drive down from VA to attend the services - I have this very strong sense that my father (Darrell Driver), is welcoming Tim in heaven with a big smile.
