Mr. Charles Timothy Talbert

A native of Mobile, Alabama, “Tim” passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on November 17, 2024, at USA Health Providence Hospital after suffering a sudden massive cardiac arrest. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Lana D.Talbert; cherished grandson Jackson Taylor McDavid; sisters Amelia Yokley and Shelia Newton (Paul); sister-in-law, Susan Talbert; and a host of nephews and nieces. Tim was predeceased by his parents, James and Cecil Talbert; brother, Jim Talbert; and son, Ryan Kyle McDavid. Tim was a familiar and beloved figure in the Mobile community, having worked for 20 years as Assistant Service Manager at Palmer’s Toyota, where he was known for his kindness and work ethic. He enjoyed great camaraderie with his co-workers and customers, many of whom became lifelong friends. An avid golfer, Tim played weekly with his close-knit group, the "7:32’s," and proudly claimed hole #12 at Azalea City Golf Course as his own. Tim was also a talented karaoke singer, known for his impressive renditions of country classics, and could always be relied upon to bring joy to any gathering. Those who knew him well also appreciated his gentle nature, earning him the nickname "Dr. Doolittle" for his love and care of animals. His beloved fur babies, Angel and Little Joe, were an important part of his life. Tim’s passion for helping others was ignited by his brother-in-law, Paul Newton, who introduced him to firefighting. Tim went on to serve for nine years with the Seven Hills Fire District, where he was not only a volunteer firefighter and First Responder but also served as Captain and later as a member of the Board. His beloved German shepherd, Jake, was also a member of the fire department. Tim considered his fellow firefighters his second family, and his dedication to the department was unwavering. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to William, Joanna, Ashley, Paul, Chris, and his firefighter brothers for their unwavering support during Tim’s time in the ICU. A Celebration of Life will be held on December 7, 2024 at 11:00 am at Seven Hills Fire District located 3650 Newman Road, Mobile, Alabama 36695. Refreshments to follow. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Seven Hills Fire District in honor of Tim’s legacy of service.
