He was born July 31, 1958 in Bloomington, son of Charles Wayne and Patricia Ann Darcy Golliday. He married Cynthia J. Kline on May 29, 2009. Surviving are his wife, Cindy; seven children, Caleigh Golliday, Cody (Kelsey) Golliday, Casie Golliday, Cale Golliday, Ashley (Ryan) Schulkins, all of Bloomington, Adam (Kristen) Findley of Western Springs and Aubrey (Austin) Young of Bloomington.

He was preceded in death by his parents. Tim graduated from Illinois State University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology. He enjoyed a long career of 28 years at Country Financial and retired in June 2022. He was a proud graduate of the Multicultural Leadership Program (MCLP) as well as a member of the board for the Ecology Action Center (EAC). He was a strong man of faith and a member of Foundation Church, where he spent several years leading a small group and worshiping his Lord. His faith never wavered, and neither did his amazing sense of humor as he endured hurdle after hurdle through his courageous battle with cancer. Tim was an avid hunter and loved to travel, but his favorite thing to do was spend time with his family, especially his wife and their 8 grandchildren who adored playing and goofing around with their "Papa."
