Spirited, influential and strong, father figure, devoted son, brother, nephew, partner and known as one to manage a crowd. Tim was loved by many for smoked meats, seasonings, chili cook-offs, shooting paint, “Kickin’ up Mud” with Super Swampers, “Pour(ing) Some Sugar on Me” during weddings and in caipirinhas, Oakley anything, advancing computers and technology, and taking it “Home Sweet Home.” Tim enjoyed strategic thinking at play and at work, board games like Risk and Stratego, online computer games such as Halo, and true-to-life defensive, cyber-physical battles. A lover of travel, excitement and adventure, Tim loved a great cruise, a good beach and a fine cigar. The memory of Tim is a fireworks spectacular.
Tim was born on May 15, 1967 in Decatur, IL to Thomas and Cheryl (Spreckelmeyer) Luallen. Tim received his Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Science from Illinois State University in Normal, IL in 1989. Employed for 30 years by Tate & Lyle, he last served as the Directory of Cyber Security. Tim continues to persist though his greatly loved daughter Amanda, his parents Thomas and Cheryl, his brother and sister-in-law Matt and Jill and their five children Elise, Talia, Adeline, Phoebe and Kai, and all of the amazing co-workers, friends and families he has connected with throughout his life.
