Wooten, Timothy L., 68, of Clearwater, passed away on Tuesday, June 4th, 2019. He will be missed by his loving family and friends. Tim was a 3rd generation lifelong resident of Clearwater, FL. He was born to Roscoe and Patsy Wooten in 1951.
Tim graduated from Clearwater High School before attending trade school for electric work. He then went on to work for the family business: Merit Electric Company. Tim continued his work at Merit Electric Company throughout his life, and enjoyed serving the local community.
Tim was an avid outdoorsman. He took full advantage of Florida living as he was passionate about boating, hunting, and competitive fishing, more specifically king fishing tournaments.

He was known as a history buff and could get hooked on any historic documentary. Tim served as the head referee and officiant for Florida Swimming.
