A senate RESOLUTION

 

TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF Dr. Charlie W. Timmerman Sr. AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Charlie W. Timmerman, Sr. on February 25, 2025; and

 

Whereas, born in Edgefield County and a native of Ninety-Six, Dr. Timmerman was born to the late Ransom Carroll and Ruby Mae Cogburn Timmerman. He obtained degrees from both Clemson University and the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine; and

 

Whereas, through his more than fifty-five years of veterinary practice, Dr. Timmerman showed unmatched curiosity, warmth, generosity, and compassion to countless animals and their owners. His commitment to advancing veterinary medicine kept him at the forefront of innovative procedures and breakthroughs. He was delighted for the upcoming Clemson University Peeler College of Veterinary Medicine; and

 

Whereas, a devout Christian, he never missed an opportunity to share God's love and spread the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ; and

 

Whereas, Dr. Timmerman's passion for life extended well beyond his career. He was a proud and loyal Clemson Tigers sports fan, an avid bird hunter, fisherman, golfer, and traveler. His devotion to and support of Clemson University was unsurpassed; and

 

Whereas, Dr. Timmerman's proudest role was as husband, father, and grandfather. He led his family faithfully and with astounding love. He prioritized joy through shared experiences, instilled a remarkable work ethic, and exemplified loyalty; and

 

Whereas, Dr. Timmerman leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife, Colleen Kneece Timmerman; his daughter, Charleen Timmerman (Barry) Fitzgerald; his son, Charlie Warren (Quinn) Timmerman Jr.; grandchildren, Haley Fitzgerald, Lily Timmerman, and Kesler Fitzgerald; sister, Susan (Mike) Calhoun; brother, Carroll (Patsy) Timmerman; numerous cherished nieces and nephews; and his brothers in law, Gene Kneece, Joe Kneece, and Heze Kneece. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Dr. Charlie W. Timmerman, Sr. and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Dr. Charlie W. Timmerman, Sr.
