Timothy Mullen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 2, 2024.


Timothy Taylor Mullen, Age 56, of Houston, Texas, passed away on September 23, 2024. Tim was born in Houston on April 3, 1968, to Thomas Mullen II and Carolyn Hart Mullen. His early life was spent cultivating his love for the Texas coast and the outdoors through weekend trips to his granddad fishing in Surfside and time spent with his dad fishing in Port Lavaca. He also enjoyed road trips to Utah with his friend Beau and Beau's father, Jim. Tim graduated from Marion High School and then from the University of Houston with a degree in marketing.

Tim was preceded in death by his father, Thomas Mullen II. Tim is survived by his mother, Carolyn; wife, Christina; son Trevor; daughter-in-law Carly; grandchildren Brayden, Weston, Kase, and Brooks; and son Kyle and fiancée Lauren. He also leaves behind brother Tom, sisters Deborah (David) and Katie, nieces and nephews Jennifer, Hannah, Taylor, Spencer, Tommy, Madeline, Porter, and Carson, and many loved and cherished in-laws.

Tim's professional life was spent serving Metal Coatings Corp, which he inherited from his father at the age of 30. He took great pride in growing MCC to what it is today, with over 150 employees. Throughout his tenure, he built relationships with customers, vendors, and employees. However, most people with whom he built these relationships have said they outgrew the business partnership and became friends.

Tim always said that "he did not have a dream job, but that his job afforded him to live out his dream." Outside of the company, Tim spent much of his time outdoors. Besides the time spent at the ranch, some of Tim's most cherished moments were spent with his grandchildren, teaching them about life, showing them how to fish, and simply enjoying their company.

Tim was a lifelong supporter of Safari Club International, Combat Marine Outdoors, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife, through which he supported the Texas Youth Hunt Program. All of these organizations were recipients of Tim's dream to provide the place and means to share his passion for hunting and the outdoors with others.

Family and friends are welcome to offer condolences to the family at a visitation on Wednesday, October 9th from 6-8 PM at The Goodman at Village Towers, 9655 Katy Freeway Suite 3190, Houston, Texas 77024. A private service for the family will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in Tim's memory to one of the following charities: Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation, Combat Marine Outdoors or Children's Memorial Hermann.

Tim was such a blessing to those who around him. He opened his heart and his home to share his love of the outdoors with so many families. We all entered his ranch as strangers, and left as friends.

May your love and laughter live on in all those lives you touched.

My 1st memory of meeting Tim was at a fish fry I believe. He was really nice to me maybe because he was dating my best friend Christina. Tim, didn´t know he was getting me as part of the family, but I know he loved me. I have so many great memories with our families together and truly thankful for each one. Tim, will be truly missed, but I know he´s up in heaven having a blast and watching over his family. Love you Christina, Trevor, Kyle, & family.

To the entire Mullen family. Growing up through high school and thereafter, Tim was one of my dearest friends. The bird hunts, the road trips, the laughter, and the mayhem we created. He was sincere, kind and supportive. I am so sorry he is gone and I wish Peace be with all that knew him. Ben Baker, Tim´s Wingman.

My first memory of Tim was when he was about 9. I worked for his dad Tom Mullen at Metal Coatings from 1976 until about 1982 and the kids came by the shop to visit. Debbie was working there after school typing invoices. I knew must if the family including the grandparents, awesome family. The Mullen family was very dear to me. My heartfelt condolences to all his family, heaven has gained a wonderful angel that will remain in the hearts and memories of so many! Janice Avery

Tim started out as a client in around 2000...but shortly thereafter became a friend. In recent years, a good friend. In terms of memories of Tim and the Mullen family, my wife Geri and my two sons have spent time with the Mullen family at the Ranch and also on a fun trip to Belize (great memories).

My heart was broken when I heard of Tim's passing. Tim cared so much about his family and all the stakeholders of Metal Coatings. His presence, leadership and friendship will be missed. I feel that after his passing, I can honor Tim's memory by by working with the family during these difficult times to help assure his planning goals are met. I will be there for the entire Mullen family.

My condolences to all of Tim´s family , friends and all who were fortunate to know Tim. I still recall the first the I met Tim, September 4, 2015 when I was invited to the ranch to come dove hunting with my fiancé (then boyfriend) Bob Nichols. I had only been dating Bob for a few months and didn´t know anyone so I was a bit nervous. Tim made me feel welcome along with Christina and all his family and friends that weekend and every time I have spent time with Tim was always fun and relaxing. Thoughts and prayers to the entire family and friends.

My heart goes out to Tim's family. I met Tim 11 years ago on a dove hunt with his best friend Beau. Tim had a heart of Gold, sharing his ranch to family and friends. I can't thank him enough for opening his home to me and my family for Thanksgivings, those were some of the best times. I was also lucky enough to go to South Africa with him and his family, something I was never forget. I remember Tim always laughing and full of life. I'm going to miss you brother.

My deepest condolences to Kyle, Trevor and the family. What I will miss most about Tim is his infectious laugh, his understanding and kindness. I was blessed to work with Tim for 10 months and during those 10 months I saw what a truly awesome human being was. Tim made sure that I was able to make it to my son's graduation from basic training even though I didn't have the PTO time. He said family comes 1st above all else, we would have conversations, and I would say something crazy, and he would just laugh, he wasn't like most leaders. He simply allowed me to be me. Tim will be dearly missed, and I know he's walking with the angels.

My deepest condolences to the family. I have known Tim for many years through the Fastener Industry. A fond memory or Tim and family. Our children are very close in age. Although we had no idea, we had both planned a family trip to Disney World at the same time. Ran into one another inside an auditorium of one of the shows, family in tow. Truly is a "small world". Would always reminisce whenever we got together. Truly saddened to hear he had passed. Again, prayers and comfort to the family. God's speed brother.

Tim and our son, Mark, were good friends. We were neighbors and they grew up riding bikes together and sharing in fun every Summer. We all remember the Fourth of July every year because we made homemade ice cream...and after fireworks on the Bayou...Tim, Tom and Katie all came to our house for the ice cream tradition. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Barbara and Tom Ingram
