About Timothy

Introduction

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.

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

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.

In 1955, in the year that Timothy A Gahn was born, on September 10th the TV show "Gunsmoke" debuted on CBS. It went on to be television's longest-running western. Matt Dillon, Chester, Doc Adams, and Miss Kitty became household names.

In 1960, by the time he was only 5 years old, on September 26th, the first televised debate for a Presidential campaign in the United States - Kennedy vs Nixon - was held. Seventy million people watched the debate on TV. The debate pre-empted the very popular Andy Griffith Show.

In 1973, when he was 18 years old, on August 15th, amidst rising calls for the impeachment of President Richard Nixon, Congress imposed an end to the bombing of Cambodia.

In 1983, he was 28 years old when on August 30th, the Soviet Union claimed that a South Korean Boeing 747 jetliner (Flight 007), bound for Seoul from New York City, had strayed into Soviet airspace. Saying that they believed it to be a U.S. spy plane, the passenger jet was shot down by a Soviet SU-15 fighter - after it had tracked the airliner for two hours. All 269 passengers (including a U.S. Representative from Georgia) and crew were killed.

In 1990, he was 35 years old when on April 24th, the Hubble telescope was launched into space after long delays due to the Challenger explosion. An optical flaw was found within weeks of launch but was fixed within three years. The discoveries made possible by the Hubble have contributed to scientists' understanding of the universe.
