HAMLET — Timothy Michael Cycotte, 65, of Hamlet, passed away Thursday, March 31, 2022 at FirstHealth Richmond Memorial Hospital.
He was born in Champaign, Illinois, a son of Betty Cotner Cycotte and the late Daniel R. Cycotte.
He worked as a carpenter most of his life and loved building boats, furniture, guitars and many other wood items. Tim had great respect for nature and animals, enjoying the outdoors, especially the water. He also loved to play the guitar and to cook.
Tim enjoyed life and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He had a great since of humor and was a captivating storyteller. He was blessed with a large and loving family, and they were equally blessed to be part of his family. Tim was a kind and selfless son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather.
