Timothy John Vallot, born on May 18, 1952, in New Iberia, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2025, in Rawlins, Wyoming, due to medical complications. He was a cherished son, brother, father, and grandfather, leaving behind a legacy of love and dedication to his family and passions.
A proud graduate of New Iberia Parish in 1970, Tim built a life full of cherished memories. His career as a carpenter showcased his skill and love for building, while his true passion lay in the kitchen. Tim was known as an avid chef who took great joy in preparing meals for large gatherings, often grilling with his special chicken recipe that was a family favorite. Many fond memories revolve around him cooking, always with a hand towel draped over his shoulder, and sharing joyful moments alongside his family as they helped him at the grill.
Tim was also a devoted fan of the New Orleans Saints, enduring the team's "brown bag over the head" challenging years with unwavering loyalty. He was known for his spirited enthusiasm during football games on Sundays, often accompanied by good-natured complaints about Tony Romo.
His pride and joy resided in his sons, Zach Thomas Vallot, Jacob Paul Vallot, and Emmett Augustus Vallot. He loved his boys deeply and was immensely proud of them. Tim's love extended abundantly to his grandchildren, Zoey Lynn Vallot, Parker Thomas Vallot, Jaxson Kendrick Vallot, Keaton Thomas Vallot, Everett Hiram Vallot, and Korra Jane Vallot, whom he adored and cherished.
Tim is survived by his brother, Frank Vallot, who shares in the remembrance of their time together. He will be deeply missed by his family, whose lives he enriched with his love and presence.
Timothy John Vallot will be remembered not only for his culinary talents and craftsmanship but also for his unwavering dedication to his family and the joy he brought into the lives of everyone who knew him. He leaves behind a legacy of warmth, skill, and love that will endure in the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.
