Timothy Avery Boone

Timothy Avery Boone, born April 27, 1948, went to be with the Lord on March 12, 2023. Tim was a memorable husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He is preceded in death by his father, James Ferrell Boone, his mother Betty Knight Boone, and his brother James Farrell Boone Jr. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Connie Smith Boone, his children: Alane Boone Bujko (children: Jordan, Jared and Jessica); son Jeremy Boone (children Madison and Keller), son Richard Payne (Luanne), (children: Lauren Rowe (Shelby), Emily Richards (Ben), Abbey Herrscher (Will), Caroline Olive (Chapman), and Ellie; and great grandchildren, Easton & Harper Richards, Austyn, Sutton, and Ellie Faye Rowe, and Boone Olive. He is also survived by 2 brothers, John Boone (Kris), and Philip Boone, and several nieces and nephews. He grew up in Ashville, Alabama, where he excelled in all sports, and graduated from Hewitt Trussville High School in 1966 after which he attended Jacksonville University. Tim’s passion in life was hunting (with his favorite companions – his chocolate labs), fishing, and gardening. He loved to share the fruits of his labor (especially tomatoes) with his neighbors and friends and family. He never met a stranger and anyone who has known him has a story to tell, whether it be giving artificial respiration to a chicken, shooting a deer from his front porch at his farm while in his underwear on a cold New Year’s Day, or accidentally shooting himself in his titanium knee while jiggling change in his pocket. He could also spin a yarn with the best of them. Another passion of Tim’s was concrete. He began by pouring concrete driveways and went on to form Boone Concrete Construction, constructing cart paths for golf courses, commercial slabs, walls, and floors and similar projects. Tim was blessed by the friendships he developed through the years – and they were faithful to him to the very end – you know who you are. Tim always treated everyone the same no matter what station in life. He believed in second chances and had a special gift for ministering to the downtrodden. Though he bravely battled the effects of lung cancer in his final years, he never lost his sense of humor. He was truly loved by all and will be greatly missed.
