Prior to his illness, Tillman enjoyed playing basketball, soccer, football, cycling, and snow skiing. He was an avid fan of the Miami Heat, Dolphins, Marlins and Hurricanes, and the Florida Panthers.

He also leaves his maternal grandparents, Richard and Karen Cannon of Miami, Florida, and Donna Cannon of Macclenny, Florida; and his paternal grandparent, Delina S. Lozano of Miami, Florida.
