Tim was a CNC Machinist before he retired to become a full-time Papa, which was his best and most favorite role outside of being a father and a husband. Tim loved his Sooners and whether they played good or bad would faithfully watch his team. Tim was a very hardworking man in his life from watching his son play football to being a father himself; he was always there to give advice or to help out whenever anyone was in need.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Drucille McBride; three sisters Neva Tackett, Gail Mayer, and Cynthia Holderfield; and three brothers Ray McBride, Mackey McBride, and Sam McBride.
