Timothy Franks Jr.

Timothy Franks Jr was born on November 20, 1984 to Timothy and Carolyn Franks in Nuremberg, Germany. He spent his first two year living in Bamberg, Germany where his parents were stationed. TJ as he is called received his education in the Prince Georges Public School system (Morningside Elementary, Francis T. Evans, Middle, and Gwynn Park High School). TJ transitioned from this earthly life early Friday morning at his home surrounded by his family. Ironically, he spent Thursday calling and speaking with his family and friends. TJ gave his life to Christ at an early age at Mt. Ennon Baptist Church. TJ was a member of the Boys Scouts and junior varsity football team at Eastern Middle School in North Carolina and the varsity team at Gwynn Park High. He graduated from Gwynn Park High in 2002. TJ held many different jobs. His first was at Home Depot. He did an apprenticeship with Deacon Jones at Waldorf Shoe Repair. Then he worked as a dedicated aid for the Prince George’s Public School System for 10 years. Next, TJ worked for about 3 years with the MOMIE’s program. A mentoring program that was connected to some of the public schools in DC and Prince George’s County. For the past year and a half he was the seafood manager at a local food store. TJ’s most rewarding job was that of a father. He has five beautiful children. They were the joy of his life. TJ is survived by his parents; Timothy Sr. and Carolyn Franks, one brother, Edward (Kai), three daughters Nevaeh, Timyia (Dawn) and Tinsley (Diamond). Two sons Kayden Timothy(Kendra) and Chino (Diamond). Godparents, Constance Coutourier, and Joseph Newman.
