Timothy "Tim" G. Penas, age 61 of North Branch, passed away on Wednesday, February 4, 2026 at Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina.

Tim was born on October 29, 1965 in Brainerd to parents, Theodore and Joyce (Farr) Penas. The family moved to Bloomington when he was young and then eventually moving to the North Branch area where Tim attended and graduated from school in Cambridge. Tim worked at The Cooking Store in St. Paul for many years. He eventually took a job at Rosenbauer in Wyoming where he worked different jobs before becoming disabled and unable to work any longer. Tim loved hunting and fishing and most anything outdoors.

Tim is survived by his aunts, Gail (Max) Ybarra of Andover and Ardis Paulson of Brainerd and many counsins.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Theodore and Joyce.

A memorial service will take place in the spring in Backus with burial next to his parents at Bethlehem Cemetery in Backus.
