Timothy W. "Tim" Townsend

Timothy "Tim" W. Townsend, 55, of Napoleon passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024, in Hamilton County, Indiana.

He was born Aug. 3, 1969, in Anchorage, Alaska, to Bruce and Patricia (Sanders) Townsend.

Tim married his wife of 19 years, the love of his life, Michelle (Davidson) on July 18, 2005, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tim and Michelle met while both driving trucks and a chance passing was the beginning of love that endured. Tim would then refer to Michelle as "his sexy wife!" Tim was a man of his word. He was the most trusting, honorable man one could ever meet.

He was a life member of OOID (Independent Truck Drivers). He had a passion for remote control cars, planes and trucks. He enjoyed restoring old vehicles and loved to tinker. He loved his animals and his family, especially being childlike with his grandkids. Above all his family was first and foremost to him.

He is survived by his wife, Michelle; daughters, Teena (Justin) Hutcherson of Holgate, Katelyn Harden of Defiance, Gillian Harden of Michigan, Jennifer (Derrick) Wiseman of Michigan; sons, Kelli Wiseman of Malinta and Travis Townsend of Alaska; 15 grandchildren, Cory, Dylan (Taylor), Oliver, Ian, Abigail, Kyson, Kamarin, Austin, April, Allie, Emersyn, Rylee, Moli, Anthony and Wraylynn; five great-grandchildren, and one on the way; sister, Tammy (Dan) Best of Allentown, Pennsylvania; brother, Troy Townsend of Miami, Florida; aunt and uncle, Linda and Kelly Townsend, of Titusville, Florida; three dogs, as well as nine cats.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Bruce and Patricia, and a brother, Johnathan.
