Funeral On Monday For Men Killed In Head-On Crash

ADAIRSVILLE, GA -- Funeral services are set for Monday for the men who were killed last week in a two-motorcycle collision in Adairsville.

Services for Timothy Michael Redd, 22, and 20-year-old Austin Baldwin are scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26 at NorthPointe Church in Adairsville.

The families of both residents will receive friends from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25 at the church, which is located at 30 Orchard Road.

The Georgia State Patrol said initial reports show the two motorcycles crashed head-on while traveling in opposite directions "at a high rate of speed" along Wayside Road near its intersection with Veach Loop.

According to his obituary, Baldwin was born in Calhoun to Rebecca Delane Redd Young and Jason Thomas Baldwin.

He had attended Canaanland Church in Adairsville and "enjoyed being outside, playing basketball, cliff-jumping and loved motorcycles, especially racing dirtbikes, competing at Calhoun SuperCross, Lazy River MotoCross, and others."

"Austin lived for the thrill of excitement, adrenaline, and speed, and passed from this life doing what he loved with his cousin and friend, Timothy “T.T.” Redd, who also perished from injuries received during the accident," the obituary states.

His survivors include his parents, Jason and Jessica Baldwin of Calhoun and Becky and Kenny Young of Fairmount; brothers, Tyler Baldwin of Fairmount, Janson Baldwin and Kamen Baldwin, of Calhoun; grandparents, Kathleen Proctor, Thomas Baldwin, and James and Suelane Redd; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.

Redd lived in Fairmount, but was also born in Calhoun, his obituary notes. Like his life-long friend, he also loved the outdoors, sports, video games, eating pizza and riding motorcycles.

"Although known to be stubborn, T.T. was fearless, and full of life, never holding back, putting all of himself into whatever he did," his obituary reads. "He passed from this life doing what he loved with his cousin and friend, Austin Baldwin, who also perished from injuries due to the accident."

Redd leaves behind a son, Amari Evans of Dalton.

He's also survived by his mother, Mary Jane Hall and Jacob Page of Fairmount; his father, Tim Junior and Rebecca Ann Redd of Calhoun; 10 brothers and sisters, Brittany Lashae Duncan, Jessica Roland, Kayla Hope Redd, William Roland, Grace Casey, Chance Garlin, Nicholous Lamar Horn, Brittany Ann McMahan, Brooke Page and Trenton Page; grandparents, James Buddy and Suelane Redd of Calhoun, Wayne Hall of Fairmount, and Lorna and Steve Colston of Athens, nieces and nephews, and Kim and Annie Mae Redd of Rydal, who were like second parents to him.
