Anyone who knew Timothy “Tim” Wayne Major knew he was a funny man with a dry sense of humor. He was an extremely strong and understanding man. A very independent man. He had a personality that was larger than life. He was nicknamed “Timmy” by his family and friends. His grandchildren affectionately called him “Crabby.” He frequented the “Thirsty Bear” and shooting range with his buddies. He liked to be in the mountains or tinkering in his garage.
His absolute favorite place to be was with his kids and grandkids and showing them how to “LIVE!” He would go on adventures and participate in softball leagues with his buddies from Coors. He had a love of carpentry.
Tim will be greatly missed but not forgotten as a wonderful Son, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and Friend.
