He was born December 30, 1964, in Hillsboro, OH, to the late Bernard R. and Melba J. (Kinney) Harewood. On June 26, 2010, he married the former Tracy L. Beverly, who survives.
Also surviving are his children: Annalysia Rogan, of Bellefontaine, OH, Amber Croy and Travis Croy, both of Columbus, Timothy Beverly, Chillicothe, and Brittany Scott, of Circleville; 6 grandchildren; siblings: Anthony Harewood (fiancée Melissa) and Michelle Harewood, both of Hillsboro, Coey Harewood and Karius (Mike) Hudson, both of Chillicothe, Hennessy (Chris) Harris, of Wilmington, and Kim Roberson, of Cleveland; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Timmy was a man of deep faith, and as he approached the end of his earthly journey, he did so with a heart full of peace, knowing he was ready. Ready to embrace eternal life, surrounded by the love of family and friends who had already passed on to glory before him. His last days were spent with the comforting assurance that he would soon join them in praising the Lord for all eternity.
Throughout his life, Timmy was a devoted husband to Tracy, his beloved wife and lifelong partner. Together, they shared a bond that was a true testament to love and commitment. Timmy's heart was big, and he had an incredible ability to connect with others. Whether it was chatting with friends, or engaging with children who adored him, he had a way of making everyone feel special and loved.
A proud graduate of Chillicothe High School (class of 1983), Timmy also earned his associate's degree from Columbus State. He worked as a surveyor for many years, most recently with Jcon Industries, where his dedication to his craft was evident. Timmy was passionate about the things he loved, whether it was his lifelong devotion to the Washington Redskins and Ohio State Buckeyes, his enjoyment of playing softball, or his love for cooking—each part of him was filled with joy and enthusiasm.
But above all, Timmy will be remembered for his vibrant spirit. He faced life with a positive energy that was contagious, inspiring everyone around him, especially as he courageously fought through illness. His unwavering optimism and zest for life, even in the most challenging moments, will forever be a source of admiration and inspiration for those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Timmy's legacy lives on in the hearts of all who loved him, and his memory will continue to light up the lives of everyone he touched. He will always be cherished, forever remembered, and deeply missed.
