Tim was a GREAT person..with the biggest heart and a thunderest laugh!. A great soul!!. He is missed greatly 😢..He touched my life tremendously ! 

When you showed up at my apartment 5 years ago. In the middle of a snow storm. 

If you knew Tim you loved him.  We had good times together with him helping me with plants, decorating my house, creating a beautiful Christmas tree for several years, and sending me countless messages with news from Douglasville when I moved away.  I will forever miss him and cherish his friendship.  

This was for our very first annual parking lot sale extravaganza. We had them standing in line and you were enjoying every minute of it. You were the master of your circus you had me and Steve hauling stuff in and out of this building all day that day.

I remember this was the largest painting we ever bought together. And then the day you sold it to that dealer from Scott's. The next day it ended up on the news because it went flying all over the 285 freeway because the dealer didn't have a truck and strapped it to the roof of a car. That thing was so big and heavy it took Steve and I both to pick it up so you could hang it on the wall at the shop.

This is just one of the pictures Tim sent me. We became friends in the 8th grade in 1967 when I moved to Murphy NC. He played the piano for me quite often. I made him cheesecakes because he loved them so much. I loved him deeply. 

I have no pictures or ones I can’t locate. Tim came to see me and my young family when he was a young teenager. We had a wonderful time in the swamps of Florida chasing down wild orchids and the blue flag iris.  R I P my cousin.

The day Tim sold his Buddha statue to Kathy Bates he was so happy that such a wonderful person was going to take care of his statue he had held on to for over a decade carried it from house to house always prominently displaying it somewhere in his menagerie of decorations

He got this larger than life stuffed gorilla at an estate sale. So after the sale Tim would cart it around the antique stores if it was his new Big Buddy. And all you could do was laugh it sure didn't scare his cats though that big old gorilla

I'll never forget that day  it had snowed and you put that nose on and a green hat on looking like an elf 🤣 good times.  I'll will really miss those times R.I.P. Tim

Tim decorated our Christmas tree every year, and he has an honorary uncle to our son. When my mother was sick and trying to care for an elderly relative, he put in the effort to make their holiday festive. I appreciate all he did.

Tim just being his normal goofy self. Always looking to put a smile on somebody's face or shock them at the same time!

This photo was taken in 2011 of Tim at his store doing what he did best. He just loved being the ringmaster at his own circus.

Tim getting the Christmas tree ready! He always did everyone else's tree. But never took the time to do one for himself. He absolutely just loved getting each tree uniquely Tim. No two trees ever looked alike and no trees will ever look like his ever again. It makes me sad to think about how the world will never get to see another Tim tree!

Tim @ Studio 22 doing what he did best. just pushing and shoving as he would say just being Tim decorating all his booths just right. Having a big time listening to the radio full blast and high energy. 

On October 21, 2021 Tim came down to the house dressed like this.  He was wanting to dig up some flowers to set out at his house. He was always clowning around or sneaking around in the wood to see what plants or flowers he could dig up. He would always ask before digging up the ones he just had to have. RIP my friend 

The staff of Whitley-Garner at Rosehaven Funeral Home and Memorial Park would like to extend our most sincere condolences to the Dyer Family. We would like to thank you for entrusting the care of your loved one into our hands. Please remember you are not alone and we will always be here for you.
