I always remember my brother as fun loving, fiercely protective of his family and a good cop. My brother would do anything for anyone. He had his demons, we all do. Unfortunately his demons killed him, but no matter what, he was an awesome brother to me. He always had my back if I needed him. I miss and love him very much.

I am sure you are. Again, I know Tim would have been thrilled and had that big smile we all loved and to hear you say such good things. Thank you for honoring my brother. Take Care.
Aunt Missy, I'm so glad you've kept this updated in remembrance of Tim, I just stumbled on this today. I wish I would have had the chance to meet him but I'm thankful that he inadvertently led me to reuniting with the family. He seems like he was an amazing person and I remember being in awe at how many people attended to celebrate his life and it impressed upon me what a tragedy this was. I wish I would met you Uncle Tim.
Wow I'm truly sorry to hear of Tim's passing and to think that I am just finding out about it after all these years. I'm David white and I want to first say to his family that my heart really goes out to you all and I can truly attest to the great character of Tim especially on the job lol not as a coworker but as one of the people he had to chase down and arrest on several occasions but the one thing that I can say is he never judged me for my flaws or bad choices and even when he had to arrest me he treated me with nothing but kindness and respect and always had an encouraging word for me he saw in me what I didn't see in myself and it was due to those times that helped shape and mold me into the man I am today and I will forever be grateful to him ❤ rest in peace my friend
I love and miss you SO much. ((Tim)). My brother, always on my mind and in my heart. I hope you found the peace on the other side that you couldn't find here.
My big brother, my friend, my protector. He died and took my heart with him. He was my protector and always there when I needed to have someone watch my back. I miss him more than anyone will ever know, and I always will. I love you so much ((Tim)), Love,Missy

Melissa - your updates to your brother's biography are so touching over the last 5 years..I hope you don't mind but I did some investigating and added some details and a photo I believe I found of your brother in high school. Being a police officer is very tough business and takes a toll on the strongest of people. I am so happy that you are sharing his memory.
Thank you very much. It will be 14 years next month since he passed. I appreciate what you found and yes that is him in High School. Being a police officer was his greatest joy but it was really hard on him, especially towards the end. I am just happy that he is with my family on the other side, and hopefully, he has found the peace there that he couldn't find here. Again, thank you very much, Melissa.
