Timothy 'Tim' James Naylon, 66, of Denver, Colorado, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Friday, October 31, 2025 at Swedish Medical Center.

Tim was born April 21, 1959 in Dixon, Illinois, the son of James Naylon and Judith (Temple) Norris. He worked for Publication Printers for over 20 years as a bindery supervisor. Outside of work, he was known for cheering on his beloved Chicago sports teams, especially The Bears, fishing, brewing his own beer, and listening to his favorite bands like The Beatles, Cheap Trick, and Led Zeppelin. Tim filled a room with his presence, his huge personality and equally huge heart. He will always be remembered for his booming voice and his larger than life laugh.

Tim is survived by his mother Judy Norris of Polo, IL; daughters: Bailey (Chris) Naylon of Westminster, CO and Tawnya (David) Osborne of Huntsville, AL, and sons: Brian Ciuffreda of San Marcos, CA and Joshua (Dakota) Engels of Bailey, CO; sister Cheryl (Keith) Baker of Dixon, IL, sister-in-law Kelly Naylon of Polo, IL; brother Mark (Sandy) Naylon of Greenwood, IN; grandsons Aidan, Johnny, Trevor, and Jacob Osborne, Dillon Ciuffreda, Devin Engels; granddaughter Solenne Ciuffreda; step-mother Sue Naylon of San Tan Valley, AZ; step-sisters Leanne (Chris) Rogers of San Tan Valley, AZ, Traci Berge of San Tan Valley, AZ, Kathy (Dennis) Danko of Utica, IL, Shelley (Chad) Hovey of Mackinaw, IL; step-brothers Thomas (Sarah) Frump of Sterling, IL.

He was preceded in death by his father Jim; brothers Jeff, Terry, and Mike Naylon; sister-in-law Tabaitha Naylon, step-father Max Norris; step-brothers Ted and Tony Norris.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, November 6th, 2025 from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Doghouse Tavern, Tim's local and favorite bar, 3100 S. Sheridan Blvd., Denver, CO. Another Celebration of Life will be held in his hometown of Polo, IL in the spring of 2026.
