"Since a lot was left out of the obituary, I would like to add a few things. Tim also had 4 step children that he helped raise for 17 years. He was a huge part of their lives, as he was theirs. He also had a grandson that he was very close with. He spent every Sunday watching his favorite team, the cowboys, along with a cold bud light. He loved spending time with his family when he was not working.
We love you so much Tim, thank you for all the great memories. I will cherish them forever!"

"Tim I thank you for almost 18 yrs together. It was a crazy ride filled with lots of laughter. You were always so strong when I needed you to be and don?t know how I would have gotten through a lot without you. I thank you for helping me raise the kids. You were the dad that they didn?t have. They loved you to death as I know you did them also. I don?t know that you?re wishes will be honored but I did try. "

"Timothy was a really nice person. I was introduced to him by way of my husband, Mike Burns Jr. Mike has been his best friend since 5th grade. I was also introduced at that time to Michelle, they were a loving couple and you could tell they were deeply in love. I am honored to know them both. Many prayers and if you need me please let me know. Mike and Malinda Burns Jr"
