Shellman GA

Peter Timothy "Tim" Edwards, 62, of Shellman, GA passed away on Monday September 26, 2022, at his residence. Graveside memorial services will be conducted at 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 2, 2022, in the Cuthbert Eastview Cemetery with Rev. Nathan Ziglar officiating. The family is receiving friends at their residence.

Tim was born on April 5, 1960, in Montezuma, GA, the son of the late James Yancey and Janice Lee Cooley Edwards. Tim was the glue that kept his family connected and the life of every party. He was one of the best athletes to ever come out of Dooly County. He attended Georgia Southwestern on a baseball scholarship and graduated with a degree in Computer Science. He was a professor at Albany Technical College and attended Cuthbert First Baptist Church. He was an avid sports official.  He refereed football and basketball at the high school and college levels.  He also umpired baseball at the high school, college, and semi-pro levels as well as the 1994 Olympic trials.  Tim never passed a person in need without lending a hand. He enjoyed traveling to new places with his wife.  He loved all sports, especially college football, and was a die-hard Georgia Dawg fan. He loved a round of golf and would tee it up any chance he could. He loved spending time with his friends and high-fives after touchdowns. But his greatest loves were the Lord, his wife, his children, and his grandchild.

Survivors include his wife, Marla Rawlins Edwards of Shellman, GA; his daughter, Alli Edwards of Albany GA, his sons; Sawyer Timothy Edwards of Atlanta, GA; and Trent (Caitlyn) Taylor of Smyrna, GA; his sister Bunny (Ronald) Wright of Perry, GA; his brothers Hal (Kitty) Edwards of Dothan, AL; and John (Lisa) Edwards of Unadilla, GA; and his grandson, Olsen.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family may donate to St. Jude's or the Fisher Foundation.
