Timothy M. "Tim" Bartlow, of Hasty, Arkansas, was called home to be with his Lord and Savior on Thursday, May 20, 2021 at the age of 61.

He was born in Fayetteville, Arkansas on October 14, 1959 to Harlin and Mary Lou (Meeker) Bartlow.

Tim had committed his life to spreading the gospel and ministering, especially to the youth.  He has worked in AWANA at Eagle Heights Baptist Church, Newton County Baptist Church and Western Grove Bible Church.  Tim had devoted 36 years to Rock Haven Bible Camp where he loved working with kids and teaching them about the Lord.  He was also a member of Rock Haven Ministries where he served in various positions.
