He was born November 24, 1962 in Monticello, AR to the late David Lee Chase, Jr. and Mary Agnes Bailey Chase. Tim, as he was affectionately known, was very involved in his community, church and dental association. He was a 1981 graduate of Monticello High School, a 1985 honor graduate of the University of Arkansas at Monticello, and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Tennessee in 1989. He has been in dental practice in Monticello since 1991.

In addition to being a wonderful husband to Paige, Tim always sacrificed his time for his two daughters, Summer and Madisyn. He never missed a softball game, dance recital, piano recital, swim meet or gymnastics meet and was always ready to give his time to support his girls.
