Timothy Thornton Obituary
Timothy Alan Thornton, 58, passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends in Mount Vernon, WA. Born in Everett, WA to Lyman and Marjorie Thornton, Tim grew up in Everett and graduated from Cascade High School class of 1981.
Tim was a natural athlete, loved playing croquet and pinochle with his family, playing bocce ball on the beach and live music. He was a hopeless romantic, and a "give you the shirt off his back" kind of guy. Tim had a smile you could not help but love, and a fun-loving sense of humor, always quick with a hug and a love you.

I am sorry to hear of Tim's passing. Tim and I were never close in High School but I do remember him as a really good guy and a great teammate/competitor on the basketball court. He will be missed.

I worked with Tim at Walt's milk house when Tim was in high school. I remember his sense of humor. He always made it fun to work with. Even though I haven't seen Tim for many years, he was one guy I would never forget. RIP Tim.
