Tim Dellinger Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Johnson-Romero Family Funeral Home - La Junta on Dec. 15, 2025.
Tim Dellinger, a beloved resident of La Junta, Colorado, passed away peacefully at his home on November 26, 2025, at the age of 66. Born on April 11, 1959, in Colorado to Martha and George Dellinger, Tim leaves behind a legacy of kindness, generosity, and devotion to family and friends.
He is survived by his children: Jeremy (Jennifer Garcia) Dellinger of Pueblo, Colorado, Amber (D.J. Palacio) Dellinger of La Junta, Colorado, and Nathan Dellinger of Pueblo, Colorado; stepchildren, Bobby Apadoca, Gabriel (Jimmy) McNight, grandchildren Kari (Anthony Lopez) Dellinger, Isabell Palacio, and Julius Palacio; three great-grandchildren; and brothers Gerald Dellinger and Doug Dellinger.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents, George and Marie Dellinger, brothers Duane Dellinger, sister Viola Dellinger, stepdaughter, Cheyenne Powles and his spouse Patty Martinez.
Tim enjoyed a fulfilling career and retired from the Sante Fe - BNSF Railroad. His coworkers were like family to him. He found joy in fishing, camping, elk hunting, and was well known for his playful and honory spirit. Tim was always willing to lend a hand and was known for his generosity, never hesitating to help anyone in need. His presence brought warmth to those around him, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Tim's memory will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and the many lives he touched throughout his years.
