Biography
After an honorable service with the Navy, Tim went into law enforcement as a corrections officer. Though he suffered from post-traumatic stress, Officer Prough sought help and hoped to find healing. Sadly, he was unable to find the peace he needed. Always smiling and making others laugh, helping anyone who needed it, his death came as a shock to those around him. Tim enjoyed woodworking, his dogs, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Atlanta Braves, and cooking BBQ. He especially loved spending time with his children and grandchildren. He also loved his two dogs, Molly and Lizzy. His children miss him desperately and will forever have a void in their life.
