In Loving Memory:
Richard Timothy Gibbons
October 20,1951 - July 4,2023
It is with a very heavy heart that I am writing to let you know of the passing of Richard Timothy Gibbons. Tim died peacefully at home on July 4, 2023. He spent his final days, exactly as he wanted to: surrounded by his beloved wife, daughter, grandchildren, and pets. Tim was an honorable man, and a straight shooter. There was never any question about where you stood with Tim. He cared deeply about his family, and his tough exterior disintegrated whenever he was with his precious granddaughters, who he and Terri have helped raise. He served in Viet Nam, with the Army and as an Arctic Ranger, and lost many friends there. Tim was fiercely loyal to Richard, and unwavering in his commitment to stand up for what was right, even if that meant standing alone. He was a devoted husband, a proud dad and an adoring grandfather. Tim will always be remembered for his courage, his kindness, his wonderfully dry sense of humor and his integrity, but without a doubt, his greatest legacy will be the tremendous love he had for his wife, his daughter and his granddaughters. He will be forever loved and missed.

Daddy I miss u more then u will ever know. U was the best daddy anyone could have asked for. The path u have always showed me an how love the love u had for me an my girls.. I can never give u a hug or kiss again but I wish ever day I could. I will never forget everything u did for me an my girls. U never gave up on me when u should have u always had faith in me an knew I could do it. An with out u showing me how to do something or what to I would have been lost. I am breaking with out u but learning to grow at the same time. How I miss u always telling me I love u sugar bear or hold ur head up high... I will try to keep my promises to u. An I will always make sure mama an the girls r taken care of u raised a strong girl an I won't let u down.. u r still my hero but only with wings now.. till we meet again daddy I love u. U definitely deserve a life with out pain an now u have it. Ur family an friends have been waiting for u to join them so enjoy ur everlasting life up there with nothing but sun shine an blessings. U r a great man an one I will always I am proud of. Love always ur sugar bear...
