Timothy Williams Ellis Timothy Williams Ellis, 52, passed away on Monday, April 7, 2008 with his loving wife at his side. He fought a courageous battle with esophageal cancer for the last nine months. He was born on April 17, 1955 in Bryan, TX to Jerry and Esther Ellis. Tim was an electrician by trade and was employed by ABM Engineering. His family was the center of his life and he always looked forward to and enjoyed their get-togethers.
