  1. Bro, even though 99% of the time you lost me and I couldn’t follow what you were talking about with all of that scientific data that seemed to be stored in that brain of yours, I will miss all your 'teachings' of the earths surface, the stars and galaxy and how it all came to be. You were always in your element when you got started on that and you’d go on for hours and hours, each time I learned something knew that I never knew. We’ll also miss Friday pizza nights. You left us way too soon.
    Thanks for the memories. Love, Sis (Carol).

  2. Dear Shotts family! Our heartfelt condolences for all of you,, I know you’re all heartbroken with the loss of Tim.

    Thinking of you and keeping you in our hearts and prayers.

  3. Tim will be missed by many, including us. Tim and Susan raised Bryan to be a fine young man, husband, and father and I wish I would have thanked him for that. He loved his children so much. I will always remember how he looked at the grandchildren with such big smiles. Prayers and love to all of you!

  4. Sorry to hear that Tim has passed away. He was my General Manager at Wright Bachman Construction – I relied on him and he never let me down.

  5. I am sorry for your precious loss. Please take comfort in the words found at Acts 24:15 which say, “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” You are in our thoughts and prayers.
