Army Base to Gilbert Eugene and Betty Ann (Rasco) Nicks. Timothy was baptized into Christ at the Hamilton Church of Christ in Hamilton in June 1967. Him and his dad went together to be baptized that night. He was a member of the Cameron Church of Christ in Cameron. He was a member of the Mountain Grove Church of Christ, Mountain Grove, where he served the Lord for many years. He took turns teaching the older kids, plus many other duties. He would tell me different members would bring him food to eat. He said he never had to worry about going hungry. The members took great care of him. Tim entered the Navy after graduating from Cameron R-1 High School in 1972, where he served 14 years. He worked in the Sea Bees part of the Navy to which he was very proud. He was stationed at numerous bases during his time served. He had made rank of E-6, Petty Officer First Class and Master welder.  Tim enjoyed working with his hands building various items which some included; bird houses, lamps, welded metal art work, book cases, stand up pantries/cabinets, coffee tables, end tables, etc. He also enjoyed painting on canvas. Plus, the last few years, he worked as a handyman helping anyone he could. He truly enjoyed talking to people.
