Timothy Riley
Timothy "Timmy" Riley is Tom Riley's deceased son, who died in a boating accident over thirty years ago before his father's second marriage.
History
Timmy, who worked on the farm with his father, had an experience as a preteen that caused a revival in his faith. He recorded this experience in a journal that was discovered by Tom years after his son's death in Timmy's old cabin, which originally built by Johnny Appleseed. After recovering the journal, Tom decided to build a youth retreat for the children of Odyssey, and named it the Timothy Center.
In #496: “Exceptional Circumstances”, Agnes Riley mentions that Timmy played softball, even though she never personally knew him.
