Born: August 22, 1967
Died: January 30, 2025 in Triumph, IL
Tim Selquist, 57, of Triumph, passed away Thursday, January 30, 2025, at his home. He was born August 22, 1967, the son of Donald and Susan (Martin) Selquist.
Tim worked at the Triumph elevator for many years. He worked for the railroad terminal right behind the elevator for years after that until his illness no longer allowed him to do so.
