Lloyd and Hazel (Kline) Roberts, Tim's warmth and kindness touched everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Tim was an eight-year veteran of the United States Army Reserves and was known for his ability to make friends wherever he went-he truly didn't know a stranger. He had a heart of gold, always putting others first and lending a helping hand whenever he could. His love for cars was evident, whether he was buying or selling or sharing stories about his latest adventures with family and friends. He proudly owned and operated Rightway Medical Transport for many years. Above all, his family meant the world to him. Tim is survived by his beloved spouse, Michelle (Harris) Roberts.

He is also survived by 29 grandchildren; a brother, Randy (Joanne) Roberts of Van Wert; and a sister, Shelby (Shaun) Matthews of Van Wert.
