Timothy Lewis Hoskins, 60, of Parkville, MO, died January 21, 2021 at Hillview Nursing & Rehab, Platte City, MO after a long decline in health. Born July 25, 1960 in Kansas City, KS to the late Aleene C. (Frazier) and Gaylon E. Hoskins Sr. A graduate of Parkhill High School (1978) and of Missouri Western State University (1981). He is remembered for his athleticism, he was a tenacious wide receiver. In 1991 he was inducted into the Missouri Western Football Hall of Fame.
Professionally, a social worker, he had various jobs, of note, he began his career at Boys Town USA, Omaha, NE, and later worked at the Full Employment Council of Kansas City. Personally, he was a lover of football and a loyal Chiefs fan. He was a gamer and enjoyed music, singing and creating his own synth tracks to support his vocals.
Tim had a laid-back attitude and light-hearted spirit. Even through serious health difficulties his easy going personality shined through. He will be missed.

Tim, thank you for being a friend, we had some good times in college that I will never forget. I’m so happy we were able to reconnect after all these years. God speed my friend, I’m sure you will be catching touchdowns in Heaven.

My thoughts and prayers to the entire Hoskins family. Tim was a friend in high school and college. So sorry for your lose.
My condolences to the Hoskins Family. I knew Tim as a very talented athlete and a great teammate. He was honest and humble. He made the rest of us a little better. May God bless you.
Tim’s personality exuded warmth and kindness, no matter what the circumstances. He was always happy to see a friend. In the 40-plus years that I knew him, I cannot remember a single instance where he got really angry with anyone. I suppose he might have, but I never saw it if he did. He will be greatly missed by many.
I was fortunate to have Tim in my life as both friend and teammate at Missouri Western State University. A finer human you won’t find. Rest in Peace my friend.
Tim, you were a class act on and off the field. An exemplary Griffon in every way. You never met a stranger, were always kind, supportive and such an amazing pleasure to be around. Love ??, Joe Vig

Tim was the player Rob Hicklin assigned to me on my recruiting visit to Western. His enthusiastic words and encouragement was one of the main reasons i went to Western. i met my wife of 33 years and have had a successful career as a result of that decision and Tims influence. God def has a special place for Tim in heaven. God bless you Tim.
On behalf of Frank Hoskins family we offer our deepest heartfelt love to his children and siblings as well as to all of the family. We love you Tim. Eric, Marie, and Roxanne send love to you all.
Tim, what an honor and a privilage it was to suit up in the Black and Gold with you. it was a lot of fun watching you fly across the field, either on a catch, or a kick return to the house. memories I will cherish forever. love you Tim…R.I.P my friend!!!
My cousin whom I will miss dearly thanks Tim for the childhood memories of coming to Parkville and having the best times ever!!! Rest in heaven! Love you.
I remember the last conversations we had when Uncle Gaylon was in the hospital. We would sit and talk for hours while visiting your dad. I remember your eyes and your gentle caring conversations. Cousin, you will be missed but our wonderful childhood memories will live forever. Thanks for being a wonderful cousin and friend!?
Rest in peace, Tim. You had already left your mark on the world way back in high school. We shared a lot of games on the basketball court. For some reason I’m remembering a particularly goofy game day JH assembly and a hastily-prepared cheer, with skirts and pompons. I don’t know whether our tears were just from laughter or embarrassment, but the memory stuck. And you were as humble a human being as you were a gifted athlete. Full of grace, good humor, and an easy smile. I wish I had seen you in action as a social worker, I’m sure you brought the same decency and work ethic to your professional life. And what a proud daddy.
My deepest condolences to Tim’s immediate family and the Hoskins Clan.
Tim,
You were an inspiration to me. Your athletic prowess was second to none and your humility was profound. You were the first unbelievably talented athlete that I had ever met. You made us all better and left an indelible mark on everyone who was fortunate enough to call you our friend.
May you Rest In Peace, Tim. My prayers go out to you and your entire family.
