Timothy Hoff, a devoted servant of faith and a cherished family man, passed away peacefully on March 17, 2026, in Farr West, Utah. Born on April 27, 1965, in Culver City, California, Tim’s life radiated a profound love for the Lord and a genuine warmth that touched all who were fortunate enough to know him.
For over 20 years, Tim dedicated his life to his calling as a Baptist pastor and youth pastor. His steadfast faith was more than a personal beacon—it was a guiding light that inspired countless individuals to embrace Jesus as their Lord and Savior. His sermons were not merely words but heartfelt invitations to a deeper spiritual journey, reflecting a life lived fully in devotion to God’s message of love and redemption.
Beyond his ministry, Tim’s personality was defined by his boundless love and devotion to his family. He was a loving husband to Cynthia Hoff, with whom he shared 36 years of marriage filled with mutual respect and unwavering support. Their union was the foundation of a warm family life deeply enriched by their children: Rebekah DeBennett, their 30-year-old daughter, and Ian Hoff, their 23-year-old son. Through them, Tim’s legacy of faith and kindness will undoubtedly continue. Additionally, Tim was a cherished brother to Michael Hoff, and embraced his role as father-in-law to Andrew DeBennett and Morgan Hoff, welcoming all into his heart and home with generous spirit. He most recently became a grandpa to his first grandchild, Eisley Hoff.
Tim’s compassion was not limited to his family and congregation; he was known to welcome everyone and to extend a helping hand whenever needed. His willingness to assist others was a hallmark of his character and a testament to the values he lived by every day.
In addition to his spiritual and familial passions, Tim found joy in working on bicycles and woodworking. These hobbies allowed him moments of peace and creativity, reflecting his patient, meticulous nature and his love for crafting something tangible with his own hands.
He was born to Richard Hoff and Susan Ball Hoff, who have since passed on, leaving Tim as a bridge between past and present generations, carrying forward their memory in his everyday acts of love and faith.
Timothy Hoff’s departure leaves a profound void in the hearts of many, yet his legacy endures in the lives he touched, the family he nurtured, and the faith he exemplified. As those who loved him gather to honor his life, they remember a man whose quiet strength and heartfelt devotion will continue to inspire, comfort, and uplift for years to come.
His journey on earth has ended, but the light of his love, faith, and kindness shines eternally in the hearts of all who knew him. May he rest in everlasting peace.
