John R. Timmons

John R Timmons, 70, of Barlow, Ky., and formerly of Cairo, died Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020, at Life Care Center in LaCenter, Ky.

He was born in Cairo, the son of J. Branham and Louise Bollinger.

Mr. Timmons was a native of Cairo. He was a compassionate person who spent his life caring for others as a certified nursing assistant. 

He loved to listen to music, to read and write poetry, and he also enjoyed connecting with friends he made online from around the world.

Those who knew him counted him an excellent friend who would give his last dime to help those in need. 

In his later years after retirement, he lived with family members who required assistance for medical reasons and treated them with great compassion and kindness. He rarely spoke negatively about others and looked for the best in everyone.

He is survived by two daughters, Shanna Farris and Kristen Davis; granddaughters Brazeik Edwards and Koree Simelton; grandson Lucas Davis; great-grandchildren Kimora, Khalen, Khamille and Joshua; a brother, Bill Bolinger; two sisters, Kym Bolinger and Teri Bolinger; and numerous other relatives and friends.

 He was preceded in death by his father and mother, and by one sister Sheree Croghan.  

A private graveside committal will be held at a later date.

Morrow Funeral Chapel in LaCenter, Ky., is in charge of arrangements.
