Timothy L. Zagar, born June 3, 1967, in Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away suddenly but peacefully on September 16, 2024, in Pierce County, Washington. At the age of 57, Timothy left behind a legacy of love, laughter, and lasting memories.
Timothy earned a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from UW Parkside, which set the foundation for his distinguished career as a computer programmer and software developer. He was a dedicated professional, known for his brilliance in crafting software solutions and his unwavering work ethic.
Family was at the heart of Timothy's life. He is survived by his devoted parents, Judith Ann Zagar and James Lewis Zagar; his sisters, Tina Ann (Alan) Roseman and Jennifer Lyn (Kevin) Thorsell; and his brothers, Steven Emery (Jean) Zagar and Shawn James (Juli) Zagar. Additionally, he leaves behind cherished nieces: Blair, Stephanie, Paige, Brooke, Taylor, Sydney, Jensen, and Peyton. With many more extended families to include uncles, aunts, and cousins in Nebraska and Wisconsin. Though preceded in death by his beloved grandparents, Anthony and Eleanor Zagar, and Fern (Nellie) And Irvin Emery Faulder, Timothy's memory continues to bring warmth and comfort to those who knew him.
Timothy was a man of boundless spirit and zest for life. Known for his wit, humor, and kind-hearted nature, he brought joy and positivity to everyone he met. He was deeply compassionate, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. His love for life was infectious, making him an irreplaceable part of the lives he touched.
An avid lover of the outdoors, Timothy enjoyed hiking, golfing, and sports. He was a passionate fan of the Huskers, Packers, and Brewers, sharing countless moments of excitement and camaraderie with fellow fans. His love for animals was exemplified by his loyal companion, his dog Moose, who was inseparable from his side, along with his cup of java. Always a pair never without each other. Timothy's musical talent shone through in his love for playing the guitar, a hobby that brought him and others around him immense joy.
Timothy's spirituality was a significant aspect of his identity, guiding him through life's journey with faith and belief. His embracement of freedom, both in spirit and life, was a testimony to his adventurous and loving soul.
As the family navigates this profound loss, they invite condolences to be expressed privately. Details of any future ceremony will be shared at an appropriate time. In lieu of flowers, please send all donations to the Arthritis Foundation or American Lung Association.
Timothy L. Zagar will be remembered for his loving nature, his humor, and his unwavering positivity. He was a beacon of light in the lives of many and his memory will continue to illuminate the hearts of those who had the privilege to know him.
