Timothy Bandy

John 11:25-26

“I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me, will live even after dying”

On August 30, 2024, in the evening, our beloved Timothy Larry Bandy made his earthly transition and has been promoted by gaining his eternal crown and angelic wings. His gentle, calm, and loving demeanor will be cherished forever. Gone, but never forgotten. Timothy will live in our hearts forever. He fought a good fight. God said, well done my good and faithful servant. Tim was a believer, and he loved God. 

Timothy Bandy was born November 25, 1961, in Saginaw, Michigan to Spencer and Annie Pearl Bandy. He received Christ at an early age. When Timothy lived in Saginaw, Michigan he was a faithful member of World Outreach Campus Church where Bishop Hurley Coleman Jr. is the Pastor. 

Timothy attended Saginaw Public Schools and graduated from Saginaw High School in 1979. He moved to California after graduation where he worked on a Naval Base as a Chief Caterer. After several years, he returned to Saginaw as a Mental Health Counselor at the Mental Health Authority of Saginaw County. His greatest joy was his family and his passion for culinary creations.
