Pastor Tim was a passionate man, this came through in everything he put his hand to.  As a husband, father, prophet, musician, and friend, he always embodied life lived authentically transparent.  Whether he was preaching a fiery sermon, revealing the secrets of men’s hearts, leading worship, or just playing the blues, he served and lived enthusiastically.  His deep love for the broken, outcast, and lost led him across so many hurting people’s paths.  His immense compassion and kindness were known by all.  Few will forget his industrious humor and defining wit, and all will miss how his well-timed and playful jokes could lighten the tensest of situations.  When you were with him, you knew what it must have been like to have been with and loved by Jesus.
