May his memory be a source of strength, and may his spirit continue to shine in the lives he touched.

To the Gaskins family: Continual prayer to the family of TJ who I have known since he was a kid. He was an exceptional young man. I hope the family will find peace in knowing that he is resting with God in heaven.
Timothy was one of most respectful young man that I had the pleasure of meeting. I meet Timothy at Walmart back in November of 2023. He approached me excited to see a Marine. I was inspired by his willingness to serve and protect and the amount of pride he had in our country was inspiring. Sadly we weren’t able to get him in but I still kept in touch because I wanted nothing but the best for him. My prayers goes out to the gaskin family. You raised a phenomenal young man and it’s sad to see he passed so soon. Till we meet again brother you will be missed.
