Timothy (Tim) G. Mikell

Tim was a proud Air Force veteran who dedicated years of service to his country. After his time in the military, he became a truck driver, a career that took him on many trips across the country. He retired after a long career, leaving behind countless memories with the many people he met along the way.

Tim’s faith in Christ was central to his life, and he found strength in his Christian beliefs throughout his struggles. He was known for his dry sense of humor, his kind heart, and his willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need. Tim was always there for his family and friends. His presence will be missed, but his legacy of love, faith, and service will remain in the hearts of all who knew him.
