Timothy J. Spurrier, aged 63, passed away on August 23, 2025 following a brief illness. Born in Lakewood, Ohio to Ralph and Lois Spurrier, he was the youngest of 3 boys. Tim had a fondness for boating and enjoyed relating stories of growing up on Lake Erie. He graduated from Huron high school and became a chef at Berardi's Restaurant in Huron. Using his knowledge and skills as a craftsman, Tim was employed by his Father-in-law to assist in the production and finishing of phonographs. Most important to Tim was his time spent with family, including a strong bond with a variety of dogs over the years. With a passion for all-things-weather related, Tim took pleasure in naming the family dogs to reflect this interest, most recently "Wind" the German Shepherd and "Blizzard" the Alaskan Malamute.
Preceded in death by his parents (Ralph and Lois) and Father-in-law (Don Gfell), Tim is survived by his wife Ann, sons Patrick, Mason, and Christian, brothers Paul and Cliff, and Mother-in-law Roberta Gfell.
A private Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Jeff Monreal Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Painesville.
