He attended Jefferson High School. Tim was very talented as a flooring installer. He enjoyed listening to music. He loved spending time playing, and taking care of his lizard, chicken and rooster, as if they were like a pet dog. He was most definitely a prankster. He had a joke every time or he always had something funny to say.
Two of his favorite sayings: “Hey, do you wanna hear something funny?” or “WHAT’S MY NAME?” as he threw up his hands.

Joshua Stephen Thomas, Tiarra Sandra Thomas, Carlson Trevon Robert Thomas Carlson.
Two Children by Joshua:
Wesley Stephen Thomas, Joshua Gabriel Thomas.
Brothers and Sisters:
Phillip DiBenedetto, Lori (DiBenedetto) Holzhueter, Richard DiBenedetto, Tina (DiBenedetto) Lockhart, Jody (Thomas) King, Joey Thomas.
And many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
