Timothy Howard Obituary
May 9, 1966 -January 18, 2025.
Tim will be remembered for his sarcastic humor and his strength during his fierce battle with cancer these past few years which he documented fully on Facebook to share the journey with those he loved, as well as numerous support groups where his goal was to promote strength and hope for others on their journey towards death. His personal interests were cars, motorcycles and fish tanks, but most of all, he cherished time spent with his grandchildren and his beloved dogs.
Though his life was filled with challenges, his final years were a testament to healing, redemption, and the power of love. It was his diagnosis that opened the door to reconciliation; with courage and vulnerability, Tim reached out to rebuild bonds with his family, children, and grandchildren.
Tim is survived by a loving family, including his partner Sharon; his children Michael (Sarah), Matthew (Shannon), Elizabeth (Josh), Aiden and Ken; grandchildren Brayden, Ezra, Levi, Waylon, Luna, Parker and two girls yet to be born; his mother, Linda; his sisters Tracy and Rachel and his niece Abby. He was preceded in death by his father, Jerry.
A Celebration of Life will be held when the weather warms to honor Tim. His legacy will continue to influence those who knew him, remembering his unique spirit and heartfelt dedication to his family and passions.

I met Tim on FB and eventually got to meet him in person. I knew him before he met Sharon and saw the video she posted of him dancing for her when they first met. He showed a warrior spirit when cancer entered his life. His words of wisdom, while fighting this battle proved how brave he was and he did us all a favor by sharing his insights during his fight. His great courage the past years, while sharing his journey will undoubtedly help us all should we ever need to fight the same battle. I know it was hard but he cared enough about each of us to offer what he learned, what worked and what didn't. I feel the loss of this very special man as much as his family and I'll never forget him

They say people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Tim for me, was both a reason and a season I believe. We dated briefly many years ago after my divorce. I had 4 small children who he introduced himself as Georgie Porgie. He was funny, caring, smart and had a way of giving you his full attention. He was still looking for himself back then and after leaving a long marriage I was not ready for more. I needed to write this because he was a memory in my life. He made an impact. He had a huge heart and was always happiest making you laugh. Many many years later we were able to catch up through Facebook. I was able to watch him find true happiness meeting someone to share his life with, being part of his children's and grandchildrens lives. It seems he finally found the things that filled his heart. To all that loved and cared for him, I am deeply sorry for your loss. He will be missed. RIP my friend.
