Tim & wife, Cindy, met at Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church and married in 1986; together they spent much of their time involved in Christian ministry and volunteering in the political arena, including work with the California Christian Coalition. Along with Cindy, Tim enjoyed ushering at the Sacramento Music Circus & delighted in his role as owner & "doggie-parent" to 3 precious Maltese dogs. Tim was an avid golfer, photographer & motorcycle enthusiast. He loved to sing and, during the 80's, traveled & performed with a well-known musical cast, "Up With People". He enthusiastically enjoyed traveling with his wife & friends and was thrilled to participate with groups from Capital Christian Center that visited the Holy Land in 1996 & 2006. His warm & outgoing personality singled him out to be a participant on the TV game show, "Wheel of Fortune". Above all, Tim had a kind & compassionate spirit which has left an indelible imprint on many lives. He was an active & involved member of Capital Christian Center where he enjoyed serving the Lord through a variety of ministries.

Tim Sellers was one of the founders of Christian Coalition of Sacramento & Northern California. He was a fixture among Northern California conservative and Christian politics and his efforts led directly to the elections of several conservative and Christian Congressmen, State Senators, State Assemblymembers, and more. He was also a lurker on FR and had commented on some of my posts - surprising me on a few occasions that he shared my interest in the sometimes arcane topics discussed here.

Most of all, Tim was someone who was a role model for a number of people and his untimely loss will certainly be felt by a great number of people.
