Tim married Rosemary Bone in Columbus, where they made their home. Tim was involved with trucking for over 30 years; he was the owner operator of Jenkins Transport Service, he was a manager with Belca Food Service for over 15 years and mentored young drivers helping them to obtain their CDL license, which he held for over 30 years. Tim tried his best to live a Christ-like life, he did so by living by the Word of God, by serving others, and putting others needs before his own. He was a member of Mount Zion Church in Covington, Ga. He was tired of being on the road as much, so he went back to school and became a Certified Phlebotomist. When he was home and able to relax he enjoyed grilling, he was an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons, he rarely missed a game, he appreciated good clean humor, he was grateful for the dogs he shared his life with, and found great comfort and joy in being a good friend to many and in turn having the opportunity to be a good friend to others. Tim loved his family, they meant the world to him and enjoyed spending time with them.
