Timmy Ariaz

Timothy Lawrence Ariaz, affectionately known as Timmy, left this world on July 16, 2025, at the age of 52. Born on June 8, 1973, in Downey, California, Tim's warmth and zeal for life were evident from his earliest days. His passing in Menifee, California, leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and the countless lives he touched.
Tim is survived by his beloved wife of 26 years, Esther Ariaz, and their four cherished children, Kristalina, Sybrina, Zach, and Nathan. His joy was multiplied with the birth of his three grandchildren, Kristion, Khadin, and Kasyn, who will miss their grandfather's playful spirit and unwavering support. Tim also leaves behind his devoted brother, Tony, his loving sister, Amanda, and his caring mother, Grace, all of whom will carry forward his memory with deep affection.
For 26 years, Tim served with honor and dedication as a Correctional Corporal for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. His career led him to work at various facilities, including Banning, Riverside, and Southwest, where he was not only respected for his professionalism but also adored for his good-natured approach to every challenge. His quick wit and understanding nature made him not just a colleague but a true friend to those he worked with.
Beyond his professional life, Tim had a passion for the simple joys that life has to offer. He found pleasure in playing video games, assembling intricate Lego sets, and solving puzzles. His hobbies reflected his methodical mind and his fondness for moments of quiet achievement. Tim's sense of humor was unparalleled, often lighting up the room with his infectious laughter and clever jokes. His easygoing demeanor made him a magnet for friendship, and he was beloved by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Tim was the epitome of what it means to be friendly, loving, and kind. He was a beacon of understanding and caring, a man who always put others before himself and sought to make the world a little brighter for everyone. He was an overall good person, the kind whose presence is a rare gift to those fortunate enough to cross paths with him.
