Timmy was born in Carteret County on July 24, 1956 to Durwood and Bethine Gillikin. Timmy worked as a Captain on a dredge boat for many years of his life. One of his favorite things to do was watching wrestling on TV while eating his snacks. For anybody that knew him, knows his favorite snacks were bologna sandwiches, chocolate ice cream, Twinkies and Cinnamon Graham Crackers. He had a kitty named Stinker who he loved so much. He and Juanita raised Stinker and bottle fed him as a baby. Timmy was mostly known for his character; always laughing and carrying on jokes no matter the circumstance. He was a man that would give the shirt off his back, was very hardworking and always supported his family. He was one of a kind.
