Tim underwent a heart transplant on August 23, 1998, after having suffered a devastating heart attack a few years prior. After this heart failed he underwent a second heart transplant on November 11, 2009, (each time at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville.) After the second transplant he dealt with various serious complications of anti-rejection medications including kidney failure. His last few months were especially challenging and he chose discontinuing further treatment and entered hospice.
He came to Florida with his friend BJ where he met the love of his life, Faith. They were married in Altamonte Springs on March 4, 1984. Tim was an eternal optimist and the epitome of positive thinking. When he received a lemon, he made lemonade and in voluminous amounts! He loved, and was loved, by his family. To know Tim was to love him.
