Surrounded by loved ones on April 29, 2026 at Mercy Health Springfield Regional Medical Center. God saw fit to call home His child, Timothy Eugene Akins (AKA—PeeWee). He was born on May 16, 1966 in Xenia, Ohio to the late Jessie McCombs and Linda Pearl Akins.

PeeWee attended Pineforest Senior High School located in Fayetteville, NC and graduated in 1986. He later went on to join the United States Army in 1986. He found the love of his life, Taffy Moss, and they have been together for over the last 30 years until his final breath.

PeeWee was a world-renowned barber known for his meticulous cut and attention to detail. As a seasoned rider and President with Rare Blood MCC, he embodied the spirit of loyalty and camaraderie. He was a prominent figure who was often found leading charity rides or advocating for children in the community, whether it was organizing local toy runs or mentoring new riders.

PeeWee rode with a purpose. He was known for his mentoring, laughter and dancing as well as his unmatched generosity and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. PeeWee was a true comedian and the life of any party. He loved his family dearly near and far, but his #1 rider was his grandson, ManMan.
