Our deepest sympathy to the Dawkins Family. Tim will be missed by our whole family. This was a shock to me. I can only imagine how much grief this has brought to your family. I can remember when Mother and Glen started dating, Tim was still in school. When Mother and Glen both got sick Tim was so help full. Working, taking care of his family and helping with my Mother. I'll never forget when Mother with her dementia and cancer said that Tim hadn't been by to see her, but he had. The next time Tim came to visit I took a picture of the two of them with a time stamp on the photo. When she would say that Tim hadn't been by to see her I would show her the picture. Sad, but I thought it humorous. Our thoughts and prayers extend out to your family.
Well I know my uncle is gone and I am his niece I have had some trouble with his death but life goes on I love and miss u uncle Tim rest in piece
Even though he was a step uncle, he was one of my best friends. Tim always had my back, and I never forgot that. Sorry for your loss.
