PANAMA CITY BEACH — Lexi Bradshaw remembers Timothy "Tim" Ackerman as a thrill-seeker who loved being a dad.
Ackerman, a 31-year-old Panama City Beach resident and Bradshaw's ex-husband, died Sunday evening during a BASE jump from the 23rd floor of the Sunrise Beach Resort on Front Beach Road, according to the Panama City Beach Police Department.
Authorities suspect his parachute malfunctioned as he fell.
Timothy "Tim" Ackerman, a 31-year-old Panama City Beach resident who died in a BASE jumping accident Sunday evening, is seen with his 10-year-old daughter, Evie, and his 8-year-old son, Grayson.
"He 100% would not have done this if he thought for a second it wouldn't end well. It was not on purpose," said Bradshaw, 32, also of PCB. "He was happy, he was full of life (and) he sort of lived every day to the fullest as much as he could. He loved his friends and he loved his children more than anything in the world."

"He was a great friend, he was a great dad and he was just an amazing person," she said. "I think he just wanted to make his mark and do something amazing and out of the ordinary and he did. It just didn't go how he had planned."

Yes it does.
Bad endings to stupid crap are never on purpose............
I fought the Law, and the Law won.
Hey!
Gravity.
It’s not a rumor,
it’s THE LAW!
I hope Jesus was covering his life.
CNN reported that he survived a 22-story fall only to be killed by COVID-19.
Gravity, another racist invention of whites.
They don’t. Not yet anyway.
So ridiculously sad.
Wouldn’t a parachute malfunction if it’s opened right next to a building? Don’t they need room to expand?
Yeah, reality doesn't have an Alt+Backspace shortcut, unfortunately.
“In life you don’t get another quarter.”
Q: If your main chute doesn’t deploy, how long to you have to get your reserve chute to deploy?
A: The rest of your life.
Not sure why you can't judge this was absolutely stupid.
A typical floor is 10 ft.
23 floors would be 230 ft on the low end.
Not enough air to open a chute.
I think he learned of his error.
Is that where the expression "the enemy gave no quarter" comes from? Hmm. Amusing mental image there.
What do they mean they “suspect” his chute didn’t open? How hard could that be to figure out?
I enjoyed the movie “The Martian” (I know, Matt Damon being a leftist turd and all) but there was a scene in there I really like.
He is all set to leave the damaged base station and venture forth on his Mars overland journey...he turns to walk out the exit hatch, but pauses before he opens the hatch to the outside, and turns around to go pick up his helmet.
Made me laugh. I could see doing that...opening the door and dying of asphyxiation because I stupidly forgot to put on my helmet.
+1
I hope he had plenty of life insurance.
