I enjoyed riding bikes with Tim when his family lived on Willowbend Circle. One day he helped me build my kayak and we sure got a lot done!

Dear Lisa,

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Tim. I didn't know of his passing. Robbie Dieker is my son, Dane's best friend. When I heard of the news, I was shocked. I am praying for your family. You have been through so much. I am thinking of you. May God be with all of you as I know Tim is with you all every moment.

To all the Dieker family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Our family lost my sister-in-law at age 43 from colon cancer on August 1. May God give all of us the strength and courage during this difficult time.

I'm a cousin of Tim's.

Dear Lisa,Jordan,Nick and Thomas and the rest of the Dieker extended family,



I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Tim was a great person and had a heart as big as gold. I have many found memories of Tim, and all of them are most pleasant, we will miss Tim on Earth, but also know we all have a Angel up there now watching over us. God be with you during these trying times.

I met Tim when he started at Beechcraft, working for Raytheon Credit. I was impressed by his high standards of integrity and moral character. He carried those measures throughout his life and career.



It has been an honor to know and work with him. During a business trip, last May, his first since leaving the hospital, he described his wonderful faith and the healing power it gave him. His recovery was a remarkable testament to devotion.



Not too surprising, that he had less to say that evening, about his disease. His story of recovery was about his faith and living. We have to recognise that his goodness is within his core. He shared that with every person he knew and in all of his endeavors.



We all have many reasons to admire Tim and his wondeful spirit. And many fine examples to follow, for those seeking a role model.

He will be dearly missed.



My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends, to those who helped define this fine human being, who we will very dearly miss.

Lisa, Jordan, Thomas, and Nick~

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Taking care of Tim was such a joy and he always brightened my day. I always new it would be a good night at work when I was taking care of Tim. One memory I will never forget is of the night you and Tim ordered take out and included me! This was just the kind of person Tim was- selfless. It was very obvious that he loved his family more than anything in the world. Tim is an inspiration to everyone and I will never forget his strong faith and trust in God! I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to know Tim and your family and I pray God will give you peace and comfort through this difficult time.

With Love, Andrea Strohl

Although I may have met Tim Dieker in person or not (I don't remember when), my oldest brother, Tim has known Timothy very well and I know his wife (I've met her several times) rather fairly well.



Lisa, I extend my sympathy to you and your children and may God help you during the difficult ordeal of mourning Tim and getting over the loss. God bless you always!

Dear Lisa, Jordan, Nick and Thomas-

I have a treasured memory of Tim - do many of the BUCS. Tim insiting that he had to be with Thomas during the state tournament at Pratt so he checked out of the hospital to be with his son and family. It was obvious he didnt feel well but it was also VERY evident he was enjoying being with his family and watching Thomas play.That is how the entire season was- Tim being with his family when he could - it was clear how much he loved and cared about his family. May the memories of Tim's unending love, caring and devotion to you'all carry you through this difficult time. May you feel God's loving arms around you especially in your darkest hours. Love, caring thoughts and prayers= Janet and Garrison
