Timothy Neville
Timothy David Neville, age 53, our beloved son, brother, brother in law, uncle and cousin left us for heaven on November 3rd, 2026. Tim was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1973, the youngest son of Daniel E. and Carol A. (Baughman) Neville. He attended Zanesville Christian School and graduated from Howland Christian School in 1992 as the co-valedictorian of his class. Tim graduated from Pensacola Christian College in 1996 with a degree in Business Administration. He earned his Master’s Degree in Strategic Leadership from Roberts Wesleyan University in May of 2017, with a 4.0 grade point average. During his junior and senior years of high school, Tim worked as a camp counselor at Echoing Hills, where he felt called to minister to and help better the lives of individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. He worked at facilities in Monroe Community Mental Health Authority, Koinonia Homes, Ohio Mentor, Inc., and Threshold Residential Services, Inc. Tim began his career with Echoing Hills in 2011 and became President and Chief Executive Officer of Echoing Hills in 2019. Tim was the leader and face of the organization. He worked with the Board of Directors, stakeholders, staff, and individuals served to fulfill the purpose of creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to know and experience Jesus Christ.
Tim lived with his beautiful and well cared for cat, Gregory. Along with his faith in God, Tim found comfort and strength in his family. You would often find him spending time with his Mom, brothers, sisters-in-law, and several nieces and nephews. When not working or spending time with his family, you could find Tim attending Five14 Church in New Albany or enjoying a movie, play, musical, amusement parks (Tim’s happy places were Kings Island and Cedar Point), documentary, or a good book.
Tim’s life mission statement was to serve, love, and lead the marginalized and disenfranchised of society to live a fulfilled and enriched life. His desire was to lead Echoing Hills into the next years of service as well as Cordell and Buddy led the ministry for 50 plus years.
Tim will always be loved and missed by many who were special to his heart and his family. He is survived by his loving mother Carol Neville; two brothers: Steve (Cheryl) Neville and Philip (Jill) Neville; nieces and nephews: Morgan Anne (Micah), Adelina, Aislynn, Caleb, Mei Mei, Evan and Jadyn; two great nieces: Ariah and Karina; and a great nephew Amari.
He was preceded in death by his father, Daniel Neville; and his grandparents: Paul and Mary Neville and Merle and Bernice Baughman.
“Go rest high on the mountain, son. Your work on Earth is done. Go to heaven a shouting love for the Father and the Son.” We’ll see you soon.
