Timothy D. Tarpley, 36, of Maitland, Florida, passed away unexpectedly, leaving a profound void in the lives of those who loved him. Tim was a one-of-a-kind personality-larger than life, endlessly funny, and deeply loyal to those he cared about.
He is survived by his partner of 17 years, Melanie, and their two children, Michael (15) and Kyle (7), who were the center of his world. Tim was known for his remarkable ability to fix anything and his talent in the kitchen-he was a phenomenal cook whose meals brought people together. His sense of humor was unmatched, and he could always be counted on to lighten the mood and make others laugh.
Tim worked as a Facilities Director, a role that perfectly suited his hands-on nature and problem-solving skills. He took pride in his work and the people around him.
He also leaves behind his sisters Krystal, April, Jenn, and Misty; his beloved "in-laws" Bob and Deborah Dudas; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.
Tim was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria "Candy" Cash, with whom he shared a close bond.
A memorial service to celebrate Tim's life will be held on **Saturday, July 26 at 2:00 PM** at:
**Baldwin Brothers – Apopka**
2036 Sprint Blvd, Suite #10
Apopka, FL 32703
All who knew Tim are welcome to attend and share in remembering the incredible man he was.
