And to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father.

Is this sentence a simple, complex, compound or is it both complex and compound?? I think that it is a complex, but that's why I need help! [<:o)]

Complex, but not compound. He was a second father to Tiny Tim, who did not die. The "who did not die" modifies Tiny Tim.
