He was born on August 6, 1975, in Johnson City, Tennessee. Timothy was the son of Nancy Ruth Myers of Lexington, NC and Paul Samuel Dayton of Monroe, NC.
Timothy built a career as a self-employed landscaper, where his hard work and attention to detail helped create and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces for others to enjoy. He took pride in transforming and caring for the natural surroundings through his work. Timothy found great joy in being outdoors. He loved camping, fishing, spending time at the beach, watching motorcycle racing, and sharing time with his friends. He will be remembered for his laid-back spirit and appreciation for nature.
In addition to his parents, those left to cherish his memory are his children; Arielle Dayton, Acacia Dayton, and Marshall Dayton, his brother; Steven Dayton of Monroe, and sisters; Kayla Dayton of California and Kristi Dayton of Monroe and his step-sister,
April Quigley, of Fuquay- Varina, NC. Timothy will be fondly remembered by his aunts, uncles, cousins, along with many nieces and nephews.
Timothy would want to express his gratitude to all of his wonderful friends who brought joy and meaning to his life.
