 Timothy Riley
Timothy "Timmy" Riley is Tom
Riley's deceased son, who died in a boating accident over thirty
years ago before his father's second marriage to
Agnes.
Timmy, who worked on the farm with his father, had an
experience as a preteen that caused a revival in his faith. He recorded
this experience in a journal that was discovered by
Tom
years after his son's death in Timmy's old cabin, which originally built
by Johnny Appleseed. After recovering the journal, Tom decided to build
a youth retreat for the children of Odyssey, and named it the Timothy
Center.
Timmy met P.D. Barnes, a young
trouble making boy whom his father invited into the family. Shortly
afterward, while Timmy and P.D. were fishing in Trickle Lake, P.D.'s
horsing around in the boat caused it to overturn, leading to Timmy's
tragic drowning. |
