Tim was born September 2, 1953 in Dubuque, the son of Louis and Ruth (Feltes) Hayes. Tim married his high school sweetheart, Ann Hefel, on July 1, 1972 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in North Buena Vista. She preceded him in death on February 28, 2016.
Tim enjoyed working in sales for Kirchhoff/7G Distributing for over 35 years, and made many friends along the way. Along with his wife, Ann, he looked forward to hosting 3rd of July celebrations at their home on Rhomberg. Tim was an avid softball player, and was a member of the Holy Cross Softball Team and Bob & Del's/Lake's Lounge Softball Teams for many years. He was inducted into the Dubuque Slow Pitch Hall of Fame. He took many trips to Las Vegas with family and friends. Tim loved being a grandpa, and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren.
Tim is survived by two sons, Brian (Jen) Hayes and Marty (Tonya) Hayes; four grandsons, Henry, Charlie, Ben, and Oliver Hayes; his brother, Bob (Sherry) Hayes, of Holy Cross; his in-laws, Mary (Dave) Breitbach, of North Buena Vista, Helen (Rich) Deutmeyer, of Luxemburg, Kay (Bill) Kreeb, of Dyersville, Janet Hefel and Mark "Fritz" (Sue) Hefel, both of North Buena Vista, and Carol (Gary) Wedewer of Petersburg; and many nieces and nephews, including his god-daughter, Sarah Hayes.
In addition to his wife, he was preceded in death by his parents; his parents in law, Ed and Rita (Ruden) Hefel; three brothers in law, Dick, Jim, and Roger Hefel; and a nephew, Ed Breitbach.
Tim's family would like to extend a thank you to all the wonderful nurses and hospital staff who cared for Tim over the years.
