He was proceeded in death by his parents John Wesley Ballard and Mary Evelyn Bartlett Ballard. Tim attended Winnetonka High School in Kansas City’s northland where he resided his entire life.

Tim was a meticulous person who paid extremely close attention to detail, very thorough and precise in his work, often striving for perfection in all things.

Tim was an outdoorsman. He loved fishing, hunting, golfing, lake activities on his 2 Shot Minimum, and most of all riding his Harley. Although he had no children of his own, he had a passion for spending time with kids teaching them how to hunt, fish, ride a 4-wheeler and water ski.

John had a truly special friend during his career. Shawn Eddy was his best bud! They continued their relationship after John retired. Over the years they spent many hours together while working in other states. John also had another very special person in his life, Julie Santillian. Julie helped care for John and was by his side until the end. Thanks Julie – we love you!!

The love we had for our brother and uncle is undeniable!!! Belinda (Bill), Lisa (Mark), Dennis, Carrie, Lauren and Shawn.
