Throughout his life, Tim was a devoted husband and family man, cherishing time spent with his loved ones and friends. His enthusiasm extended to fishing, spending time outside, classic cars, woodworking, and repairing things around the house, always accompanied by his signature humor as a jokester.

His sister Roxanne Meeks also survives him. Tim was a proud grandfather to eleven grandchildren, each held dearly in his heart.
