Born April 11, 1953 to Bruce and Marian Ottow. Tim resided in Western Michigan until 1990 when the family relocated to Western Washington. He has four children and nine grandchildren. Jordan Ottow (married Stephanie Ottow with their children Mia, Malia and Myla), Lee-Michael Ottow (married Kristin Ranger with their children Jackson, Malakaya, Ezekiel and Xavier), Elle Clough (married Nial Clough with their daughter Aspen) and Sam Ottow (married Shannon Supple with their daughter Hayden). Tim also leaves behind his sister, Nanette Kempski (married Brian Kempski with their children Allison, Nathan and Hayley) and brother, Ken Ottow (married Tami Ottow with their children, Shelby, Austin and Blake).
Tim touched so many lives in his 66 years of life. His energy and encouragement, his joy and jokes were abundant. A familiar face at local youth wrestling and soccer events, Tim was known to many as a supportive father, intense worker and verbose fan. He was also known for his softer moments; for listening to other’s stories of trial or accomplishment, and for reaching out to the down-trodden or hurting.
Tim’s children will be hosting a Celebration of Life Service at Cascade Community Church, Saturday July 13th at 10am. Please feel free to come early and find your seat.
