Memorial Book
Unexpectedly at his home on 16th March 2026, Tim aged 51 years of Blackburn. The adored son of Jill, loving and loved dad of Jamie and his partner Niamh, cherished grandad of Isla-Mai Victoria, loved sister of Jane and the late Vicky and a dear relative and good friend to many.
Keep fit fanatic, Tim could often be found at the gym working out, he took great pride in his appearance, always keeping himself in shape and kept to a strict nutritional diet. Tim was a true gentle giant, he had a tough exterior but the biggest heart in the world, he was naturally caring and people loved him instantly. He spent time working as a support worker and with his naturally giving personality, Tim was a firm favourite with those in his care, he also worked as crowd control at various football stadiums and worked the doors at local pubs and clubs. He was a proud dad to his son Jamie and the most doting grandad to his little princess Isla-Mai and he always looked forward to spending time with his family. At home, Tim enjoyed time in his garden and would always be on hand to help trim his neighbours bush and put out her bins, and in return she would make him the most delicious casseroles.
Tim was loved and cherished by all who knew him and he will be sadly missed but remembered for his kind and caring nature.
Family flowers only please, donations are being gratefully received in his memory on behalf of British Heart Foundation.
Tim you was one in a million, a good friend to not just me but my family and friends, you will never be forgotten for the smile you put on peoples faces, with your kindness and heart to always help others. You will truly be missed.
Love ya Tim.

I met Tim as Rovers on match days and he had always been kind hearted and a teddy bear.
I got to know Tim more working at BRFC academy, thank you for offloading when you needed to. Thank you for asking for my support on how to write a job application a few years back. You always spoke so highly of family members with love. I never heard you say a bad word about anyone which is a gift in itself. Whenever you are keep smiling and spread the love, kindness that you had.

I grew up with Timmy in little Harwood. He got me a job when I was struggling in my late teens. And have had some great night both in and out with Timmy .. he was a real gentleman and a true friend and will be very sadly missed. Rest in peace Timmy 🙏🏻😥
Lots of love Tim. You were a wonderful help to my daughter Michelle. We love you so much. From Julie and Steve. xxxx
Tim. You were like a big brother to me. You looked after me when I first started. Saying that I’ve known you for more than 7 years all because I started working at the same stadium on the same team feels weird in the good way.
I remember when you told me of something personal and how haunted you were. I remember helping you through it and making you smile by the end. You truly were something special and I’m sorry we lost contact.
You will always be my favourite. Rest easy, you gentle soul x
Another gent from my teenage years gone, so many memories with you and Chris from Mill Hill and then into adulthood, Thankyou for listening to me, and being there over the years, and I will always be honoured you trusted me enough to let me into your thoughts and feelings. The world was a better place with you in it Timmy. Much Love xx
