The life reflections of
M I N I S T E R
Timothy Deon Billups, Sr.

Timothy Deon Billups was born February 12, 1974, in Dallas, Texas, to the late Ollie Pearl and Massa James Billups. He departed this life on Thursday September 7, 2023, at 7:15 P.M. Timothy attended and graduated from A Maceo Smith in 1992. There he played basketball and football. Outside of school sportsmanship he enjoyed playing his video games and being a die hard Dallas Cowboys Fan. After graduation Timothy went on to explore life's valuable lesson and it's challenges during this time of exploring he married and on October 2, 2006, his greatest accomplishment was born and was namesake Timothy Deon Billups, Jr. who is now a thriving junior and an accomplished, talented athlete in high school at Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, Texas. At a young age Timothy accepted Christ and since then he was eager to study the Bible. Through his ups and downs Timothy pushed through learning the Bible until he decided to relocate to Beaumont Texas where he attended many churches and accept his calling. Timothy was ordained to preach the Gospel in October of 2019. Under the leadership of Pastor R.L.Johnson senior Pastor of Tru Vine Baptist church. His first sermon title was "HELP IS ON THE WAY!" I say he must have been preaching to the Congregation and himself because this health was slowly declining. While ministering Timothy volunteered at St. James United Methodist Church every summer as a assistant vacation bible school teacher. He also gave motivational talks at Mark Stiles Prison. While under the leadership of Pastor R.L Johnson he participated in the church revival skit of Paul and Silas. Timothy helped with the non profit organization Blessings After Blessings where he helped feed the homeless every third Saturday of each month. He also help deliver gifts to the nursing on each holiday. When Timothy wasn't working for the Lord he would work at the election barn every elections including runoffs. There he open and process hundreds even thousands of ballots each election. During Timothy's stay in Beaumont his health slowly declined but through his health changes he still managed to try to keep a smile on his face and make jokes. His favored joke was that the aids were coming to clean his ROYAL body. He joked until the day the Lord spoke to him at Baptist hospital and told him to come rest.
Timothy was preceded in death by his mother, Ollie pearl; his father, Massa James Billups, Sr.; his brother, James; and his adopted Pops, Mingo.
He leaves his legacy in the hands of his only son, Timothy, Jr. Timothy's memories will be cherished by his son, his brother, Robert; his niece, Tiara; his aunt, Linda; his two God-mothers, Barbara Brush Mingo and Deborah Kelley; his friend, Roxie; and two special ladies, in his life his BFF, Rashida Fermon and Jada Rogers.
