Tim was a dedicated Team Leader at Universal Fibers for more than 20 years; he was known by his co-workers and friends as “Smokey”.
When Tim wasn’t working, he spent his time with his loved ones and was always on the lookout for the latest survival gear. He was a friend to all who knew him. Tim had a heart that loved beyond faults. “Pappy” wasn’t seen without a smile on his face, so powerful it could brighten anyone’s day.
Tim is survived by his three sons, Aaron Cole & wife Tiffany, Tyler Cole & Brianna, and Brandon Kirk & wife Danielle; the love of his life and his best friend, Shelia Farmer; grandchildren, Ellanore, Logan, James, and Tucker Bo; brother, Vance Cole & wife Martha; sister, Lisa Feathers & husband Lynn; nieces, Ashley Arnold & husband Matt and Nikki Richardson & husband Adam; nephews, Andy Cole & wife Amy and Ean Feathers; several great nieces, nephews, and host of friends.
The family will receive friends on Saturday (April 29, 2017) from 5 to 7 p.m. at East Lawn Funeral Home. The funeral service will follow at 7:00 pm with Pastor Cliff Ramey officiating.
Committal services will be held on Sunday (April 30, 2017) at 1 p.m. in the Garden of Apostles at East Lawn Memorial Park in Kingsport, Tennessee.
There are no words that truly express the love “Pappy” had for his family and friends. He was and always will be a big part of his sons' lives, and we all will cherish his memory forever.
