Timothy Michael Grisso, born October 12, 1993, in Bakersfield, California, passed away unexpectedly on August 14, 2025, in Bakersfield at the age of 31. Timothy grew up in the Westchester neighborhood, a proud Bakersfield native who attended Franklin Elementary School, Actis Junior High School, and Bakersfield High School. He furthered his education by graduating from the HVAC Technician Program at UEI College on October 11, 2024.

Timothy was the beloved son of Dawn Clarke and Nick Grisso, and stepson of Vincent Clarke. He is also survived by his brother, Nicolas Grisso; grandparents, Robert and Bonnie Grisso, and Julia Rangel; his aunt, Angela Munoz; cousins, Robert Munoz, Adrianna Davis, Lexi Munoz, and Isabella Bustos; and his nephews, Jude and Jack. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Edward Rangel, and his uncle, Gregg Lopez.

Timothy enjoyed music, going to the gym with his brother, working on his car, and shopping for clothes and shoes. He worked at Pizzaville USA and was excited about pursuing a career in the HVAC industry. Timothy was known for his infectious laugh and radiant smile-everyone who met him instantly loved him. His quick wit and love for quoting movies made every moment spent with him memorable.

Timothy will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew and loved him. His kindness, humor, and joyful spirit will remain in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.
