Timothy "Tim" Schell was born July 11, 1954 in Waterloo, IA; the son of William and Patricia (Happekotte) Schell. He graduated from Waterloo West High School in 1972. Tim married Shirley Snyder August 18, 1973 at the Black Hawk Rollerdome on roller skates. He enjoyed hockey, stock car races, traveling and riding on the trails. Tim always posted a joke of the day of Facebook. He was not only a member, but the President of the Tim Schell club. He was a jack of all trades and a go to person for advice. Tim was very well connected with his community. At Young Arena, in Schell's corner the leaning pole was his spot to watch hockey. Tim also was a volunteer fireman with Evansdale from 1986 to 1994.
Tim passed away on Friday, November 6, 2020 at the age of 66. He is preceded in death by his parents and a daughter Ruth Anne.

I have been out of town since November 10th, but wished to share my sorrow. I played adult ice hockey with Tim (also with Tom and Steve). Tim was a kind and happy guy. I was glad to call him a friend. Keep your stick on the ice Tim, no high sticking in heaven.

Dear Schell Family, our hearts broke when we heard of Tim´s passing. My first thought was his smile he always carried. Tim was always a "can do" man, no matter the task that laid before him. So many customers commented on the great job he did and looked forward to his deliveries. Tim´s outlook was always bright and positive regardless of the challenges he faced. He had many loves, but above all was family. My memory will be; always remain positive and care for other people. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to your family.
