Timothy Wayne Segerstrom, born on December 24, 1954, in Cooks, Michigan, passed away on January 9, 2026. A man of extraordinary spirit and generosity, Timothy was a cherished presence in the lives of many who knew him. He was known for his unwavering kindness, taking on the role of a father figure to all, always attentive to the needs of others, regardless of whether they asked for help.

Timothy had a special affection for animals, particularly pit bulls, and his home was a testament to this love. He had a unique bond with a toothless kitten named "Little Bit," who would often be found snuggled in his lap during peaceful evenings. Although Timothy humorously claimed not to be a "cat person," his actions told a different story, as he would lovingly feed Little Bit cans of tuna to ensure he received proper nourishment. His compassion extended to all creatures, evident in his habit of bringing home leftovers from outings, which he meticulously divided into three plates to share with his dogs and cat.

An avid outdoorsman in his youth, Timothy enjoyed fishing, hunting, and snowmobiling. His creative talents flourished in the garage, where he spent countless hours working on four-wheelers and trucks, as well as indulging in arts and crafts. Friends and family will fondly remember the clocks he constructed from popsicle sticks, which showcased his inventive spirit.

Timothy took immense pride in his relationship with Glenn Heath, whom he affectionately called his "save and grace." For approximately 30 years, he devoted every Saturday to supporting Glenn at the racetrack, a ritual that included sponsoring him and contributing his time to the racing community. Those who knew Timothy would affirm that he was a very giving person, someone whose generous heart knew no limits, leaving a positive mark on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.

He is survived by his nephew Glenn Heath, and his children Joe Segerstrom and Christina Cole, who will carry his memory forward as a testament to his vibrant life and enduring spirit. Timothy Wayne Segerstrom will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love and kindness will remain in the hearts of all who knew him.
