I also just got back from out of town and my thoughts and prayers are sent to all his family, friends, school and community. Your strength is amazing and your love for our Heavenly Father shines through, let this be your strength and your support, know that many people are sending prayer angels to surround all of you.

Thank you once again for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words.

 

We miss our son. On Earth, he was what my wife and I focused our lives around. We had big dreams for Tim and he had bigger ones.

 

He was a loving son, grandson, and nephew, a Gators fan, a Broncos fan (and I'm a Raiders fan), an MMA fan, a fisherman, a mountain biker, a practical joker, an excellent imitator of his head coach, a smiling friend to all, a protector of those that couldn't always protect themselves, a kind and thoughtful brother to his teammates, a boy that always strived to do better, a lover of animals, a daredevil, and so much more.

 

The night of the visitation, there were A LOT of people that showed up wearing a #73 button that some Falcon Momma's put together and the time just flew by as my wife and I stood, listening to each and every one of them share a moment of our sons life that we hadn't experienced first hand. The day of the memorial service, our church ushers handed out an additional 500(and then some) buttons and I noticed when I got up on the stage to say a few words that the place was packed (our church has two services and seats roughly 1500). That really got me thinking.....if I had passed when I was my son's age (16)I don't really think that many people would have showed up. I would have had the obligatory family members and such, but not teachers, coaches, teammates, the multitude of friends, State Representatives......

 

Tim is a wonderful young man, for those that know him, he's a joy to be around.

 

We've had a few of his friends over since and they've spent some time in his room or helping me get our new printer set up or tossing the football with me or eating with us or anything, and I see the hurt, the pain, and the loss in their eyes and I can feel the hurt in their hearts. So, please continue to pray for them, as we do, that they find strength to make it daily as they start school and start the season looking to 'top the hill'.

 

Thank you once again for taking the time to post a message to us here.

 

MY FAVORITE FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER!

 

Later,

Bill

Falcons Football Family will always be in my prayers!!!!!

 

GO FALCONS!!! WIN FOR TIM #73

Bill,

 

Please know that Tim and your family will always be in our thoughts and prayers. I will always wear the #73 button on Friday nights as I’m sure the entire Falcon family will.

God Bless you and your family Mr. Williams. My heart goes out to you. My son is a senior this year and I feel like giving him a hug to let him know how much I love him. To others do not let a day go by without saying to your loved ones that you love them. Life is too short. Again prayers to this young mans family and friends.

I have had the opportunity to be at PJCS the past few Decembers - and have always "rooted for" FC. I will do so even more vehemently now. Will be keeping a good thought for all of you.
