Timothy graduated from Hannibal High School in the class of 1976.

Professionally Tim worked as a heavy equipment operator for Continental Cement for several years.

Tim was a "jack of all trades".  Some of his favorite past times included hunting, fishing and drawing.  He also enjoyed trying his luck at finding the big batch of mushrooms.  Tim was a fan of Harley Davidson's, Big Foot shows and old western movies. If you needed to find Tim, you could usually find him working and if you needed help with anything…you bet! Tim found joy in helping others. He cherished the time spent with his children and grandchildren.

Timothy was a faithful member of Cornerstone Baptist Church of Hannibal. If you asked Tim how he was doing his answer was always “I am blessed!”
