Tim was literally one of the best men I have EVER known! Tim Darnell was a MAJOR factor in getting me on the right road in life. I often think about the selfless time he put in & where I would be if he hadn’t. I will never forget him & I am eternally grateful!

I worked with Tim at the VA for over 25 years, he always had a smile and loved a good joke. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him and this community, which he served for so long. May the God of all comfort, comfort you .
