Timothy, 59, passed away July 24, 2008 at St. Peter Hospital, Olympia. He was diagnosed with cancer late December 2005. He never gave up fighting. You would always see him with a smile and he never lost his positive outlook on life.

He started working for Capital Sheet Metal where he was a hard worker and took pride in what he did, and rarely missed a day of work.

They kept active with the boys sports, Tim coached all three in different sports, when he wasn't coaching them, he was there with his video camera. He was YMCA Indian Guide Nation Chief. Tim also ran the Tumwater Little Baseball for several years. Tim loved all kinds of Sports from the Steelers to John Force, driver for the Nationa Hot Rod Assocoation, Drag races. Many Saturday and Sundays were spent watching the races.
He was such a wonderful husband, dad, son, brother, and good friend to many. We were truly blessed to have him in our lives. Before losing his two and half year battle with cancer, he completed all his work at home and made it to his son's wedding. Amidst all the sadness, he left us with that patented smile of his. We will miss him greatly.

To Tim's family:
Memories of Tim include when he was hired at Capital Sheet Metal. Tim was not slow moving and when he walked that fast gait, his hair flew and made him look like he was flying.The boss told him to get his hair cut.

Tim and I performed many jobs together. He always had a good attitude about work, life in general and his family. Memories include when he purchased the house on 15th and the current house while building the garage.

While working at Capital Sheet Metal, he met Renae. He talked about her and said he was fortunate to have met her.

Tim was very proud of his boys and talked about them a lot.

I feel fortunate to have known and worked with Tim. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Renee and family
Tim was always such a happy, positive person. A great example as a husband, father, coach, and friend. What an honor it was to know him and be a part of your family's life while the boys were growing up. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time..... this world needs to have more people like Tim..... we will miss him.

We would like to express our sincerely condolences to Renee' and the family. It was a priviledge to have Tim as our sons', Aaron and Nathan, coach. Tim not only taught our family about the sports, he demonstrated patience, diligence, committment, and self-control on the basketball court and baseball field. We remember him vividly walking into the gym for practices carrying his brief case. Tim was always prepared and took his responsiblity seriously but still made it fun. We will be praying for you and the family.
