Timothy MALEY Obituary
MALEY, Timothy James
Nov. 3, 1952 - Aug. 19, 2011 Tim died after a brief but valiant battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, in Sacramento, CA on August 19, 2011.
He is preceded in death by his father, Col. Edmond R. Maley. Tim is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl (Mackay), children, Amanda and Spencer Maley of California, Leslie Bugg of Texas, Andrew Bugg of New Mexico, Julianne Apodaca (Gabriel), and grandsons, Santiago and baby Mateo of Germany. Tim is also survived by his mother, Ruth Maley of St. Paul, MN, his sisters, Mary Aberg of Sacramento, CA, Peggy Cox (Jim) of Olympia, WA, Sheila Casper (Tom) of St. Paul, MN, 16 nieces and 2 nephews.
Tim graduated from St. Luke's grade school (1967), St. Thomas Academy (Class of 1971), St. Paul, MN, and the College of the Desert, Palm Desert, CA. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps as an MP from 1974 to 1977, and retired as a Lieutenant in the California Highway Patrol after 30 years of exemplary service. Tim was the first director of the Palo Verde Valley Community Improvement Fund and an elected official for the Palo Verde Hospital Board. Tim had an amazing Irish wit, a wry sense of humor, and was always the consummate entertainer. His collection of vintage automobiles is second to none. Tim was a loving son, brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather and loyal friend to many. Tim will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to know him.
Visitation and Rosary will be on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM at Presentation Catholic Church, 4321 Robertson Avenue, Sacramento, CA followed by Mass of Christian Burial. The Internment will follow at Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, CA.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations preferred to 11/99 Foundation (www.chp1199.org), Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org), or donor's choice.

Tim, you are so missed by so many people you came in contact through your journey of life. You and I had so much fun with our helicopter training in Fresno. I really miss those long conversations you and I use to have. Most or the conversations were about family and friends. It was an honor to work with you and many times over an honor to call you my friend. Thank you Tim and may God bring your family many blessings of comfort and peace. Your old friend and beat partner-Donavan Rice.

I had the pleasure of meeting Tim and Cheryl when they moved back to Sacramento, two doors down from us. Jennifer and I went on a cruise shortly after meeting them, but we had planned to BBQ and hang out upon our return and their settling into their home. Tim and I seemed to have some stuff in common and I really looked forward to hanging out with him and Cheryl when we got back, but never got the chance. I am saddened that we only got to talk to Tim twice, and my thoughts are with Cheryl and Tims family. Semper Fi, Tim.

Tim became a good friend of mine back in the mid-Seventies while he was still an MP in the USMC. I attended his graduation at the CHP Academy and I was honored to have met his mother, Ruth. Tim will be sorely missed, but I figure that Heaven was getting too quiet and they needed a great comedian to come cheer the place up. Tim, you will remain in our hearts forever. Your Friend, Bob Mull

Lt. Maley was a great boss and friend. He was always looking for ways to clean up our little town and contributed so much physically and financially. We will miss his friendship and sense of humor. Thanks for everything you did for all of us in Blythe. Til we meet again, Dann & Betty.
