Tim was a 1969 graduate of Berry High School and a 1977 graduate from the University of Alabama. This loving husband and father was a man of many words. Whether at his business of 35 years, Howton’s Service, or his personal life, Tim made friends with everyone immediately.

(Whitney) Howton; grandchildren, Lucas, Lillian, Aaron; sisters, Pat (Kenneth) Lewis, Wanda (Tommy) Moore; brothers-in-law, Larry (Chris)Lindsey, David (Rosemary) Lindsey; sister-in-law, Charlotte Fowler; nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews; chosen children, Johnathan Cassidy, Carrie McNair, Dan Laan; hunting buddies, Gary Frost, Danny Duck, Don Nelms.
