Timothy Neil Miniard, 63, of Russell Springs, KY passed away on Sunday, January 28, 2023 at the Jean Waddle Hospice Care Center in Somerset. He was born in Harlan on February 3, 1959, a son of the late Disney and Verla Smith Miniard.
Timothy worked as a coal miner and with the Appalachian Security Police. He was also a farmer. Timothy worked hard for everything he had. He loved to joke around, never taking things too seriously. It could be said that if he wasn’t joking around with you, something was wrong. He liked going fishing and fooling around with old cars. Timothy loved going back to the Eastern Kentucky mountains. He loved life, and he loved his family and grand-babies.
