Spread your arms, hold your breath and always trust your cape" Guy Clark

Timothy "Tim" Gordon Holliday, writer, hairstylist, chef, son, husband, father, uncle, nephew, cousin,
friend, bloke and by all other accounts' superhero, escaped this mortal relm on Tuesday, December 01,
2020.

Left to carry on his legacy are his wife and sidekick of 36 years, Dawn "Renea" Holliday (Hardy), son
Michael Troy Holliday & his fiancé Shay and daughter Ashley Gail Holliday. He also leaves behind his
sisters Sue Spanos and Judy Kountz, nieces Vasilo,Dimitra and Sara, nephews Nick and Jason and great
nieces and nephews Chandler, Grace, Lake, Cali, and Carsyn. Also included are loving aunts, uncles and
cousins along with a multitude of henchman.

Tim was born in San An "by god" tonio, Texas, October 19, 1961. He was swiftly whisked off to Alaska
where his father, OJ, (Oscar Jessie Holliday 1933-2014) was stationed after the Bay of Pigs. This is where
Tim was chased home from school by a shark as he recounted to his mother Marie (Virginia Marie Paul
1935-2018). It was in Alaska where Tim, at the age of 2, bit of the head off his sister's chick and was
"kicked" out of kindergarten. The beginnings of the life of a great writer.

After a devasting earthquake the family moved to Oklahoma which was quite a shock for a Texan raised
in Alaska. It was here Tim's mother and father divorced. It was also here Tim's mother met her future
husband "The Major" (Anthony G. Vastardis 1922-2009). The Major was Tim's Jedi Master and hero.
The family eventually made their way back to Texas settling in Dallas. Tim graduated, along with his
fellow blokes, from Lakeview Centennial High School, in 1980. Tim turned down a football scholarship
to attend beauty school. When asked why he traded in a future in football for beauty shops he replied
"I would rather surround myself with beautiful women than sweaty men".

Tim met his soulmate Renea "Renoir" Hardy in 1983 @ Texas Gym in Dallas Texas. They fell in love
running the backstreets blaring Springsteen's Jungleland in his red Dodge Charger. They married in
1984. Michael Troy Holliday was born later that year in Dallas and Ashley Gail Holliday was born 2 years
later in Mobile Alabama.
Tim went on to attend college @ the University of South Alabama in Mobile Alabama where he earned
his BA in Psychology with a minor in philosophy in 1997.
Tim wore may hats and played many roles and touched many lives but he mostly loved the coast and
fishing. His final philosophy was to "fish until life makes sense".
The family will be holding celebrations of all things Tim Holliday in the future when it is safe to gather.
