Tim was always so helpful to the IAAP Chapter of Galveston County. Often provided audio visual support for events and presentations at meetings. He was well know by all the members as he was a regular attendee with Rhonda. I always enjoyed chatting with him and he have gave me great advice on raising Monarch butterflies. He clearly loved Rhonda and together they made a great team. He lived life to the full and had an energy for life that was contagious. Praying for God’s comfort for Rhonda and the family and may the happy memories you made with Tim over the years will sustain you at this difficult time.
Rhonda and family, I am holding you all in prayer. Tim was such a vibrant force! He lived his faith and shared that Joy with everyone. I could never thank him enough for fixing my flash drive when no one else could! Godspeed, Tim!
Rhonda so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time.
Tim was such a blessing to the ministry of Texas Avenue Baptist church & to my life personally. He will be tremendously blessed, but his home with his LIRD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. i pray for comfort & peace for all the family.
Tim,
I was one of those friends you met along the way in Germany. You brightened the lives of Laurie and me with every adventure we undertook together. I will never forget driving the autobahn at speeds I’d never traveled prior, eating new things, and exploring every little corner of every berg we entered. Thank you for a multitude of memories and a friendship that meant a great deal. Laurie and I will toast you often.
Rhonda and family,
My heart breaks for you all. I’m here if you need an ear. May God comfort you and keep you. I love you all. Please reach out to sell me GS cookies. I’m good for a few boxes each year.

Tim was such a loving man and deserves to be with the angels in a peaceful loving afterlife.
I’ll never forget when the love of his life, 1st wife Janis, would take me to the Jalapeño Tree restaurant for burgers, or when he asked me to accompany him him to the disaster relief organization after his house was destroyed by a hurricane.
It was such an honor to be asked to attend with him, and ride on his Honda motorcycle to Leauge City. We arose before sunrises and rode on his cycle in the wee early morning. Even though the situation was not good for his 1st wife and infant daughter, we laughed and laughed, having such a wonderful time together.
I will forever remember those wonderful times together.
God bless you Tim, as you ate so deserving of the peace and love in the afterlife.

Rhonda, Kendra, and family: so sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. He was a good friend to us when we lived in the Bay Area. He taught me so much about the audio/visual media world during our time at Texas Avenue Baptist Church. We had some good laughs in the booth.
Praying for your family during this difficult time.
Sorry to hear of Tim’s passing, but it’s good to know, he is home safe! Tim was always nice to me. We went to school together. May God comfort all his loved ones and may he rest in peace. ✝️ 🙏🏼💐
I went to high school with Tim. It has been fun watching his life on FB. So, so many loving pictures of his family. It was clear he adored Rhonda. I hope you are all surrounded by family during this difficult time. 🥰🥰🥰
Of all the things I would to say to you,Tim, is you will be missed, sorely, by friends and family. You were there and accommodating when I needed help with my own. I think we underestimated how positive your support was to all of us, even through those floods and hurricanes that just kept coming back.”Big boys don’t cry”… But I just about lost it when I heard you were gone! Regards!
