Tim passed away January 6, 2015.

Born Feb. 23, 1951 in Dallas, Texas to Rev. Everitt Merlin Fjordbak and Mary Annette Tarter Fjordbak.  He died Jan. 6 while on duty serving his calling: helping those with brain injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other mental issues.  Following his Christian beliefs, Tim cared for others more than himself.  After the U.S. response to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks caused many soldiers to return from the Middle East with brain injury and PTSD, he left his private practice in Georgia for the VA hospital in Fort Bliss in El Paso to do what he could to help them with recovery.  He cared for his patients an if they were family.  Tim was a published researcher, and lectured globally.  His early mentor was the late Dr. Carmen Miller Michael at UTSW Medical Center in Dallas, who instilled a passion for helping people recover.  Tim was predeceased by his father.  Survivors include his mother, Ann Fjordbak, brothers and their wives and families Ed and Sharon Fjordbak and their daughter Felicia Manno, grandchildren Greyson and Greer; Stve and Patty Fjordbak, their children Matthew, Michael and Lauren; a host of cousins and his colleagues at the VA whom he loved and considered family.
