Resident of Freeland, Tim enjoyed exploring Whidbey with his wife and dogs, cheering for the Seahawks, spending time with his family and fishing. Tim was active with his church, volunteering with Seattle's needy, and mentoring people in search of sobriety. His vibrant personality is missed, but lives on in the hearts of all who knew him.

Dear MaryJo and family, we were so saddened to hear about Tim's passing. Our memories of him, though brief, were of a wonderful, humourous and loving man. We are thinking of you and Connor, especially since we know how close they were and to lose your grandfather at such a young age is heartbreaking. Take care of your selves in your time of mourning.

I grew up looking up to my wonderful second cousin Tim. He was always warm, friendly and open and so glad to see us. He was a wonderful support to my family through some very hard times. I am so sad that I had to miss his service today but I'm sure it was wonderful. Much love to Mary Jo, kids and grand kids, Heidi and Toby, and all the lives he touched through his mentorship and outreach. xo Kathryn Rogers Portteus

Tim was the heart and soul of his family. Loving husband, father and the ultimate best grandfather (Papa Tim). His hugs were always so heart felt and his joy in his life with his family was always so evident.
He will be missed. My grandson Connor, lost the best "Grandpa" a child could every hope to have. Love to you MaryJo, Kallyn, Jerrica, Mike and Angie and all of Tim's , freinds and family, who were so fortunate to have this wonderful and loving man in your lives.

I will miss this giant of a man. He had smiles that always made my day better and he gave hugs that were genuine and warm.
The pride and love he had for his family beamed from every part of him and you couldn't help but feel such love when he spoke about them. It was a special gift that I was able to know this man and call him friend.
My love and prayers go out to the family... especially MaryJo. Love you.
