On Tuesday January 22, 2019, Tim Hankinson Sr., age 60, devoted Father of four wonderful children was called home after a long and determined battle with myelofibrosis and renal failure. He passed peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family.
Tim was born in Columbus, Ohio on May 27, 1958 to Julia and Dale Sr. He was very well respected in his 40 year career in Facility Management. His strength and purpose in life lie in his devotion to his children and teaching them to be responsible, hardworking, honest and kind by word and example. He was well known by all, many of whom he recruited to help with his inexhaustible passion for a wide array of major projects of renovation and rebuilding. He readily and happily volunteered his and his children's service to help anyone with their needs. No matter the project or who he was helping, he would be there with a smile on his face reminding everyone to "Git-R-Done."
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" - Ecclesiastes 9:10.
