The couple had been together for 23 years and celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary earlier this year, as reported by Need To Know.
They shared a 16-year-old daughter and were preparing to welcome another little girl in just a few weeks.
In an emotional tribute, Amanda said she was struggling to come to terms with losing the man she had spent more than two decades with.
She wrote: “Right now my whole world is completely shattered and I am so angry…Tim has been my whole world for 23 years, he’s all I’ve ever known.”
Amanda said they had never gone a night without speaking to each other during their relationship.
She added that not hearing his usual “goodnight I love you” had been devastating.
She continued: “He was truly the most incredible man I’ve ever met. We had a love like no other and I am incredibly thankful for the 23 years we had together.
“He made life so amazing and never a dull moment.”
Amanda said she had believed Tim would recover from the crash, just as he had always bounced back from difficulties before.
She added: “I cannot process that is never coming home to me again. My heart aches from the inside out.”
Tim was a pilot and flight instructor, as well as the owner of Runway One Nine Aviation.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that the Beechcraft BE35 crashed during take-off at around 11.15am on Friday.
Tim was the only person on board.
The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash, with the FAA also assisting.
