Timothy Arden Maxham, III

Reading, VT - Timothy Arden Maxham III, died on June 8, 2024

Timothy was born on the morning of April 15, 1988 at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, NH during a spring snowstorm. He was the second of three children who were raised in the farming hills of Hartland, VT. Timothy was a proud 8th generation Vermonter. He went by nicknames such as TT, Triple T, Uncle Timmy, Mini-Max, T Bud and Tammy Jo.

Growing up, he was always with family (a slew of cousins), farm animals, tools and machinery.

He was a tinkerer from the beginning and would take apart anything to examine the inside. He was eternally curious and so smart. During his high school years, this curiosity led to his interest in The Hartford Vocational School, specializing in auto body. He was a member of the Hartford High School class of 2006.

He worked in landscape and lawn-care for most of his career with a brief stint working construction with his dad. Most recently, he made a career change from owning his own business to being a machine operator for a local landscape company.

Timmy was a fun uncle; always playing ball or sledding with his nieces and nephews. He would drop anything at a moment's notice to help those he loved. He has many aunts, uncles and cousins that formed his values and memories in his early years. He has such a loving family which spans our country, and reaches as far as Sweden.

He loved being in a sugarhouse, hiking and being in the woods. He was a gardener who had a knack for canning dilly beans and pickled beets. He spent many long days at the Shute Farm in

Hartland, VT, which proved to be a through-line in his life. There he met his spouse, Ashley, milking cows in the barn. Later they married in the clean stalls of a milking barn.

His three boys were the light of his life. Turner (7), Mason (4), and Spencer born sleeping in 2023. He spent a good deal of time outside with Turner and Mason. They loved being in the garden together, sledding, fishing, biking, flying kites, or watching Dad being Dad, passing on the tinkering gene.

He had a playful heart, a great sense of humor and always seemed to be the last to leave a party, mostly because his goodbyes took hours.

Timothy is survived by his family, Ashley, Turner & Mason; mother Sandra Maxham (Craig), father Timothy Maxham II (Brianna), siblings Hannah & Matthew (Vanessa) and niece & nephews: Kelton, Mari & Jackson. As well as many extended family members.

He is predeceased by son Spencer, grandmother Priscilla Lozo Spencer and grandfather David Spencer.
