Tim had a true heart of servitude. He was always putting others before himself and giving in ways that are rarely seen in our society these days. Tim had a heart of gold and was truly one of the kindest men I have ever had the privilege of knowing.He was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought or any expectation of something in return. You could always count on Tim to be in good spirits, wearing that huge, magnetic smile of his. It was as if he simply never had a bad day. His joy was genuine, contagious, and something you could feel the moment he walked into a room.Tim loved his life here in Bentonville, a life that revolved around cycling, community, and—most importantly—people. Wherever he went, he found a way to love on others, encourage them, and make them feel valued. He had a remarkable ability to make a positive impact simply by being himself.Whether it was working at Phat Tire Bike Shop, volunteering with Pedal It Forward, serving at First Church of Bentonville, or riding with Bentonville Moves, Tim left his mark. His presence mattered. His kindness mattered. And the lives he touched are better because he was part of them.Tim, you will be sorely missed. The cycling community, our community, and all of us who were fortunate enough to cross paths with you have lost someone truly special. Thank you for showing us what it looks like to live generously, serve others, love deeply, and bring joy wherever you go.Until we meet again, my friend. I look forward to shredding some incredible trails with you in Heaven soon enough. Ride on, Tim. You will never be forgotten.
A ride in Tim’s memory is being organized with a few partners, we will let everyone know as soon as we have it set.
