Tim was a resident of Shreveport and graduated from Woodlawn High School in 1969.

He was a diehard LSU Tigers fan and enjoyed watching the Dallas Cowboys. He liked woodworking and spending time in his shop. Tim’s most memorable trait was his laughter. He loved laughing and making others laugh. He adored his grandchildren and spending time with them. Tim was ready to see those who had gone to Heaven before him and especially looked forward to seeing his sister, Myrna.
