We hadn’t got to spend much time together the past couple years but growing up with you was great, Timmy. You always had a smile on your face & were happy to spend time together. You were always a caring person. I will always remember the hugs you were always willing to give. You were a very special person to everyone & you will be missed more than you know. This is a complete shock to me & many others to hear of your passing but knowing you’re in God’s hands now can hopefully bring us some peace & solace. Love you cousin.
