Timothy Wendall Hayes

With heavy hearts and the hope of faith in Jesus Christ, we announce the passing of Timothy Wendall Hayes, who finished his journey on April 15, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on April 12, 1962, in Honolulu, Hawaii, Tim's life was marked by kindness, compassion, and a deep commitment to serving others. Tim spent his life loving and pouring into others. A brilliant flutist, Tim loved sharing his talents with the orchestra at Lakeridge Methodist Church on Sundays. As a jack-of-all-trades, he enjoyed everything from pottery and grilling out, to projects around the house and graphic design. Tim never met a stranger and was always ready with a kind word or sarcastic comment, whichever was truly needed. Following in a family legacy of service, Tim proudly served in the United States Air Force, enlisting on June 1, 1984, and honoring his commitment until his discharge on March 1, 1988. For 18 years, Tim worked at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine Dean's office. He was a go-to man who walked the school through LCME Reaccreditation three times and happily took on any project given. He also enjoyed announcing the graduates of the TTU School of Nursing for several years. A proud supporter of Trinity Christian School since 1988, Tim could often be found helping his wife, daughter, or son-in-law with various classroom projects as well as joining men for monthly Dad's in Prayer. In 2019, he truly stepped into God's calling on his life. Having earned two Master's Degrees and becoming an LPC, Tim dedicated his life to helping those in need as a devoted Christian Counselor. His gentle wisdom and the light he brought to others will be fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched. Tim is warmly remembered by his wife and best friend, Clarissa Hayes; his cherished daughter, Hope Sisemore; and his beloved son-in-law, Geoff Sisemore. He will be remembered by his siblings: Brenda Hayes, Connie Jones, Tom Hayes, and Ann Moushon and their families, and also by his mother-in-law Iris Rogers, brother-in-law Sam Rogers and his family. Timothy was preceded in death by: Keith Hayes (son), Theodore and Sallie Hayes (parents), Ted Hayes (brother), and Clarence Rogers (father-in-law). His impact on his church, friends, clients, and community, is deeply felt. His family prays his legacy continues on in every life he touched. We invite all who knew and loved Tim to join us in celebrating his life in a special memorial service to be held at Lakeridge Methodist Church, 4701 82nd st, on May 3, 2025, at 10:30 AM. We will honor Tim's legacy and the joy he brought to our lives. As we come together to celebrate a remarkable life, let us remember Tim not with sorrow, but with laughter, stories, and gratitude for the time we shared. May his memory be a blessing to all.
