In his spare time, he enjoyed working as a Midland County Reserve Deputy alongside Sheriff Gary Painter. It was his way of giving back to the men who serve. Tim had immense pleasure fishing from his boat, hunting, and playing golf with his wife, children, and grandchildren but more than that he loved serving in ministry.

Even in his final months he was sharing the love of Christ to others in the hospital. Tim will leave behind a legacy of self-sacrifice for others, and as a man of strong, unwavering faith in his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was simply a man of faith. Tim is survived by his beloved wife Alice Bishop of Forney, Texas.
