Mr. Tim Coley



Mr. Tim Coley was born in 1961 and passed away in 2023.  Tim was always an enthusiastic and hard-working gentleman.  He started working for the Henry County Parks and Recreation under Charles Bledsoe when Tim was still in High School.  Tim worked in the afternoons after school.  Mr. Bledsoe saw a future in Tim and told him to go and get his degree after High School and then work his way up.  So, Tim took his advice and got his education and went to work for various communities as their Parks and Recreation Director learning his craft.  After Mr. Bledsoe left Tim returned to Henry County to serve as the director of Parks and Rec for almost 30 years before retiring in December 2022  from failing health.  Tim was a man who always gave 110% of himself to see that a project or program succeeded and worked correctly.  He helped to bring programs to the Veterans Wall of Honor by putting the right people in place to have the events on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.   Tim was a man that people loved to work with and they would give their best because he treated them well.  Tim was a true legend in Henry County sporting events because he made them work so well.  He didn't mind getting his hands dirty to make things right for events.  Tim loved his family and friends and he will definitely be missed by so many.
