Sending our deepest condolences and prayers of comfort in this most difficult time.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Myra and Tim’s family! We “grew up “ together he was always pretty close to me in line (alphabetically) same home room etc. I hope that Tim is remembered as he was a heavy metal music and baseball loving loyal friend he always was! Rest in peace my friend ✌

Dear Family, We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God Bless You and give you strength for the days ahead. We love you!
Prayers go out to Tim and his family. I'll always remember the fun times going to Lamar, growing up playing baseball with Tim and seeing his family there at the fields. He will be missed but always remembered.
My deepest condolences to the Phipps family. My name is Ryan, I became a friend of Tim’s through his wife Myra whom I’ve known for almost 20 years. Tim and I instantly connected because of our love for music, he was an avid listener and I was an active musician and listener as well. I can’t even begin to count the conversations we had about new music and life. We were able to hang out several times over the years, most memorable was when he and Myra opened their apartment up for my wife and I to come stay for a couple days to see Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony play. I forgot which night but the 2 of us stayed up until darn near 5am talking. I’m going to miss my conversations with him. He opened up about some of his struggles with me and I did the same for him. We had each other’s backs and he was a great friend. I will miss him dearly.
