Timothy Todd Stines, 52, of Elizabethton, passed away Friday, July 27, 2018, at Sycamore Shoals Hospital after a brief illness. He was born September 19, 1965 in Johnson City but had lived his entire life in Elizabethton.
Todd was a graduate of Elizabethton High School and owned his own construction company. He was a member of First Free Will Baptist Church.
