Throughout his life, Timothy was known for his gentle spirit and his unwavering commitment to those around him. His generous nature and helping hands were a testament to his kind heart, always ready to lend support and share a smile. He found joy in playing music on his guitar, a passion that brought him peace and fulfillment, and he treasured moments spent with family and friends.

Timothy’s family would like to extend their deepest love, respect, and gratitude to Debbie Behringer and the staff at Labette Health in Parsons, KS, for the exceptional care and comfort they provided during his final days.
