Tim Chambers

Thomas Milo Chambers, known affectionately as Tim to his loved ones, passed away on January 12, 2024, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. Born on September 30, 1947, in Lakeland, FL, Tim's life was one marked by devotion to his family, his faith, and his community.

Tim's journey began as the cherished son of Samuel Ward Chambers and Patricia Lynn Woodham Chambers, who preceded him in death. His formative years in Lakeland saw him graduate from Kathleen Sr High School, laying the foundation for a life characterized by hard work and service.

On a Thanksgiving Day to remember, November 28, 1968, Tim married his beloved wife, Judy Dudney Chambers at the Freestate Church of Christ. Their 55 year union was blessed with love, laughter, and a daughter, Cyndi Chambers, who would become one of Tim's greatest joys. His legacy also lives on through his many nieces, nephews, and friends, who will miss his friendly smile. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Roger Chambers and infant brother David Chambers.

Tim dedicated 36 years of his life to Upper Cumberland Electric, where his commitment and work ethic were as steadfast as his character. His retirement was a testament to a career spent enhancing the lives of those within his community through his service.

A man of deep faith, Tim was a longstanding member of Free State Church of Christ before he became a hard worker and member of Sycamore Church of Christ. His devotion to the Church led him to serve as Deacon for many years where he devoted his time and passion to World Bible School.

Tim's life outside of work and church was filled with the simple pleasures of being a Farmer, where he found peace and contentment in the rhythms of nature. His love for the outdoors was matched by his enthusiasm for golf, a sport he avidly played, sharing many a green with friends and family.

A true sportsman at heart, Tim's spirit soared with every victory of the University of Florida Gators. His unwavering support for his team was a source of camaraderie and joy throughout his life.

A Funeral Service honoring Tim will be at 11 a.m. Thursday January 18 at Sycamore Church of Christ. Bro Steve Reeder and Bro. Kevin Daughrity officiating. Interment will follow at Cookeville City Cemetery.
