Nathan Wayne Tims

Nathan Wayne Tims went to his heavenly home Saturday, July 25, 2020 surrounded by his family. Nathan was born on February 21, 1961 in Oklahoma City to Evelyn Tims and the late Reverend Sampson Tims. Nate was an avid sports fan. He loved his OU Sooners, Boston Red Sox, NFL Football, Oklahoma Rockies baseball and Moore Sharks football.

With our father being a pastor, we were known to move around often. After his passing the family settled in Oklahoma City, where Nathan graduated from Crooked Oak High School in 1979.

Nate, along with our other brother Lee Bob, played a major role in our lives after the passing of our father. Nate was very supportive and loving to all of his siblings. Nate loved spending time with his nieces and nephews. He would attend ballgames, school activities, take them on summer adventures and attend birthday parties. Nathan spent 29 years working at Hudiburg Nissan, during that time he made memories and lifelong friends. His coworkers jokingly called him “Nater”. After a long day at work, Nate enjoyed spending time with his extended family at the Alley Club and watching cooking shows. Nate was a talented artist with his drawings. In his early years, he loved bowling, playing pool, bike riding and going to concerts. Nate loved cooking the turkey on holidays, made the best deviled eggs and coconut cream pie.

Nathan was a wonderful man, with the biggest heart you could imagine. He always made sure the people around him were taken care of, whether it be friends or family. If you ever needed him, he was there, no questions asked. His warm smile and loving demeanor will be greatly missed.

He is survived by his mother, Evelyn Tims, of Oklahoma City. Four brothers, Roberson Tims, his best friend, of Oklahoma City, Michael Tims of Oklahoma City; Marvin Tims, of Oklahoma City; and Dennis Philpot, of Choctaw, OK.
