Timothy McDERMOTT Obituary
Tim was born on August 14, 1967, in Auburn, Washington, to Michael and Jeanie (Boyer) McDermott. Tim went on to graduate from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1985.
Tim was a man who wore many hats, both figuratively and literally. Tim began his firefighting career in 1988 and stuck with it for nearly three decades. He also worked at Costco for 22 years. He loved to travel, go fishing, and keeping his yard "dialed." But he was best known for his deep love of music.
Tim was predeceased by his father, Michael McDermott; his grandparents, Clead and Mary Boyer, and Tommy and Bette McDermott.
He is survived by his wife, Lindsey McDermott; his daughter, Jersey McDermott; his two stepchildren, Knox and Tegan; his mother, Jeanie McDermott; sister, Jennifer Pritchett (Neil); nieces, Anya Hernandez and Censi Pritchett; and nephew, Noah Pritchett. In addition to many aunts, uncles, cousins, and his in-laws.
He will be missed by the many close friends and neighbors who he had touched over the years with his beautiful smile and boisterous presence.
A celebration of life is planned for this Spring/Summer.

My dear husband, best friend, love of my life. I´ll miss those sparkling blue eyes, your smile, your daily morning text: "good morning my beautiful wife. I love you so so much." I´ll miss your voice, our ever-evolving projects and adventures, your wisdom, and that gorgeous salt and pepper hair. Your absence has left a huge whole in my heart and I´ll be forever grateful to have spent this last year by your side every single day. Thank you for being unapologetically you. I love you, bb.

Tim and I lived close together. I met him during my Senior year of high school, and we became best friends very quickly. My parents knew Tim well, and my Dad always made him laugh. I knew his whole family, and he always made me laugh. Tim got his sense of humor from his father. I lost contact with them for so many years and tried to find him when I visited my niece and her husband in Spokane. His sister reached out to me about his passing. Rest in Peace my friend!!!!
