10 Dec 2006 Timothy Mark Nafe is my grandfather. He was such a great person, he could have been. Instead he was killed because he was fighting not just for his love of Christ within but for all of us living with freedom. Rest in Peace, Grandpa! From his grandson, Brian Mark Long Jr. E-mail address is not available.
