Timothy (Tim) David Badry
July 29, 1963 – July 12, 2019
It is with great sadness the family of Tim must say goodbye for now to a beautiful soul who departed his earthly world to be with his lord at the young age of 55. He is survived by his daughter Carolyn (Jim) Badry-Yake, grandsons Brandon, Tony & Dominic (new baby Joshua Timothy to be born July 26), and his only son Matthew Badry. Four siblings Dawn (Ken) Scott, Kathleen Badry, Steve (Brenda) Badry and youngest sister Lisa (Bob) Badry-Breen. His father Norm Badry (Delores) and Rhonda Hoffart-Badry the mother of his children, and friend Linda Leverton, along with numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his mother Carole Badry in January 2017, and three uncles and his grandparents.
Tim had a passion for cars and enjoyed listening to classic rock music. He loved to affectionately call his family “bug” or “bugs” when they annoyed him, and it always made them laugh. Tim was baptized Roman Catholic and loved Jesus. He suffered a tragic workplace accident in 2011 that left him a paraplegic. It was a difficult road for him, but he was strong and always fought his medical issues with the help of his dedicated care-workers until he could no longer struggle anymore.
He is in heaven now with his mother and will suffer no more pain. Our Father, Brother, Son, and Friend will be forever loved and missed by all who knew him and whose lives he touched.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
FOOTPRINTS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him, and he questioned the LORD about it. “LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”
The LORD replies, “My precious child, I love you and would never leave you. During your times of trail and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.
Happy birthday baby… I miss you terribly every day…
…forever yours,
Linda XO
Oh Tim… I miss you so very much. Just knowing you for 2yrs. and 2 months, it seemed like ten or so. I appreciated your honesty with me. I understand that it was difficult for you to express your feelings towards me, but I did through the songs you’d play. We were both afraid of how fast and deep our love grew to show both of us what love meant. Although we did not get our chance for a ‘commitment’ ceremony in our beautiful back yard, I can take much comfort knowing how deeply we loved each other. I’m so happy and honored to show you what the rest of our lives would look like. Together and forever we had plans!
….Al ways and forever, your woman, Linda XOXO
Till we meet again
My love
My darlin’ I miss you every day. I set up the Christmas tree yesterday and hung the 8-ball ornament that I made for you at the top of the tree, of course. Much love baby XO
Oh my love, i miss you so much…. my life hasn’the been the same. I’m stuck in a perpetual space that you are not here. I’m struggling to go on with my life – you would not want that, but always know… i am still your woman. You played songs special for me, Celine Deon : i’mean your lady and you are my man was the last and best. Every day, I think about you and what our life was going to be. I know you went above and beyond to get on track – for me. I will ALWAYS BE YOUR LADY.
