Tim Overman, born on November 8, 1961, in Dayton, Ohio, passed away on January 24, 2026, in Piketon, Ohio. Tim was known as a talented HVAC technician, earning a reputation as "a damn good refrigerator guy." Refrigeration was his specialty, and he took pride in his work.

After graduating from Fairview High School in Dayton, Tim found joy in various hobbies. He had a passion for bowling, hunting, and camping, and could often be found throwing darts or fishing. Tim enjoyed spending time with friends, sharing a beer, and occasionally indulging in tequila. He also had an interest in flying model airplanes, although he humorously acknowledged that while he couldn't build them, he was quite skilled at crashing them.

Tim is survived by his children, Teresa Overman, Tim (Jennifer) Overman Jr., and Chris Overman. He was a proud grandfather to Joshua Cope, Haley Cope, Kendra Cope, Thomas Alfred Overman, Gracie Overman, and Jacob Overman, and cherished being a great-grandfather to Bryson Hughes and Noelle Hughes. He is also survived by his siblings, Richard F. (Delma) Overman, Deborah McMaster, Scott Overman, Tony (Lisa) Overman, Penny (Jerry) Mason, Joanna (Steve) Bilderback, and Richard Terry (Farrah) Overman.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Honey Overman; his brother, Terry Overman; and his uncle, Joe Overman. He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him for his warm spirit and love of life.

The family will receive friends on Friday, February 6, 2026 from 2-4pm at the Newcomer North Chapel, 4104 Needmore Rd., Dayton, Ohio 45424. The memorial service will follow at 4pm, with Matt Overman officiating.
