Tim graduated from Raytown High School, Raytown MO in 1978 and went on to have a successful career as a tool and die maker. He was known for his hard work, dedication, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the Columbia Helicopter team, Willamette Vital Health, and all his friends and family for their care and support during this difficult time.
