Publish in a newspaper
Timothy James Blystone passed into the arms of Jesus February 20, 2025, at his home in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was preceded in death by his parents Charles Sr and Francine Blystone and nephew Kyle Blystone. He is survived by his children T.J. Blystone II, Kelsey (Anthony) Polazzo, Hannah (Isaac) Terpstra, and Kailey Blystone. His grandchildren Dominic Terpstra, Calvin Polazzo, Elijah Terpstra, and Baby Girl Polazzo. His brother Charles Blystone Jr (Sharon), Niki (Dustin) Haller, and Eric (Aubree) Blystone, and many cousins and other loved ones including Lester Quillin who was like a father to him.
Tim was brilliant, hard working, and generous, with boundless energy and a heart of gold. He had a love of hockey, snowmobiling, cooking, computers, music, learning new things, and his cherished cats.
May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him. A private memorial will be held at a later date.

Dad,
You were the most brilliant man I´ve ever known-wise, curious, and endlessly thoughtful. You taught me how to think deeply, love fully, and never stop learning. Life without you feels quieter, less complete. I miss our conversations, your laugh, your advice-everything. My heart doesn't beat the same without you. Thank you for the love and the light you gave so freely. I carry you with me every day.
With all my love, always.
