Tim spent his formative years in Fredericktown, Ohio, where he graduated from Fredericktown High School. His educational journey was colorful and diverse, from attending Joint Vocational School for welding, going to Daytona to the American Motorcycle Institute to what he often called the “school of hard knocks.” His broad skill set and tireless work ethic saw him operate his own Harley Davidson shop, Mount Vernon Custom Cycle, from 1986 to 1996. He lent his expertise to companies like Flexible, TRW, Sanoh, and Ariel for over four decades.

He married his beloved Regina (Hudson) on July 2, 1983, and together they built a life full of laughter and memories He is survived by his devoted wife, his children, Benjamin (Becky), Jessica (Nick), and Zachary, and his cherished granddaughter, Adalynn, who brought immense joy to his life.

A natural entertainer, Tim was known for his spirited performances at the Fredericktown Tomato Show lip syncs, with his portrayal of ‘Men in Tights’ remaining a crowd favorite. His penchant for humor was matched by his caring nature. He was always ready to lend a hand, often putting others’ needs before his own, except perhaps when executing a playful prank—like the infamous incident involving his wife’s brother and a grass fire
A tender-hearted outdoorsman, Tim took pride in maintaining his home and was an avid mushroom hunter and metalworker. His quick wit and sarcastic humor were hallmarks of his personality, endearing him to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
