Timothy James Latimer, Age 58. Tim is survived by his parents, Thomas and Shirley Latimer, his siblings, Laura Grogan (Jim), John Latimer (Kristal), Jennifer Addy (Dan), Andrew Latimer, Elizabeth Traczynski (Leon), and Mark Latimer (Stacy), and a host of nieces and nephews.
Tim was an amazing artistic talent and avid gardener. He was immensely proud of his home garden and loved showing it off. He was also an award-winning quilter. A lover of music, he had a song for everything.

My sympathy to Tim's family and friends. I watched his you tube videos and admired his amazing quilting talents. What a sweet soul to share and inspire others with his passion for sewing machines and the art of quilting. Thank you Tim.

Tim's artistic talent is surpassed by none. I knew Tim through the quilting world, and through his videos and posts he encouraged me to try free motion quilting on a Singer 31-15 treadle. I still use that treadle today. I pray Tim has found peace in God's arms.

So sorry for your loss. Tim was a great quilting friend and so talented. Loved him and his treasured Teddy. I was so happy when he traveled to support me at an antique quilt lecture in Lansing 10 years ago. It was so nice to see his smiling face in the audience.

He was a fabulous breathtaking quilter. I wish someone would post some pics of his work here as part of his obituary, and maybe of his garden too!

Tim was a giving, thoughtful, kind young man. The quilt world was blessed by his generosity in general. I was fortunate enough to be considered a friend, also sold him a Wicox-Gibbs early machine thst he wanted as well as a couple of quilt tops that he hand quilted beautifully. After he dropped out of Facebook, I tried several times to gind him and contact him to no avail. Rest in peace, my friend. You left a legacy of sharing and love.

I didn't know Tim but am a quilter and followed him on facebook. He did a demo of something that I wanted to do. When I had questions about it he was so kind in answering them and giving me advice. He is truely missed in the quilting world.

I didn't know Tim personally, but he would post in our quilting group on Facebook. I enjoyed his commentary and his videos that he would post. I remember one video where he was explaining about quilting the orange peel pattern, and adding stippling in the center. I'm copying this design on my own quilt.

I met Tim on the sewing machine pages and was amazed at his artistic sewing all done on a treadle. I traded Singer 15 models with him but unfortunately did not get to meet him because he was in hospital for a surgery so the trade happened on his porch as we went through Michigan to get to Ontario. I often show people the picture of his amazing flower embroidery that was done on a treadle. Just incredible the small flowers in the bouquet. I feel honoured to have been able to see things he made. My heart goes out to all of his family especially Mom and Dad, he was too young to leave this earth. I hope that your good memories of Tim can help heal your hearts. Wendy in British Columbia

I really enjoyed watching Tim's quilting videos on YouTube. He had such remarkable talent and passion for what he did. I really wish I could have known him personally. I just know he was a remarkable individual from watching his videos and following his blog. He is so missed by so many people who followed his posts on Facebook. My condolences to his family and friends.
