LCDR Timothy Turk, US Navy (Ret.)

Born to Wayne and Beverly Turk, Tim was a devoted son, a loyal brother, a loving husband, father, and a proud patriot. From his earliest days, he lived a life grounded in integrity, service, and an unwavering devotion to family and country.

Tim joined the United States Navy as an enlisted sailor in 1983, beginning a distinguished 25-year career of service. Through determination and dedication, he rose through the ranks via the Mustang Program, eventually retiring as a respected Lieutenant Commander. His leadership, wisdom, and unshakable sense of duty earned him the admiration of peers and subordinates alike. The Navy was his calling—second only to his family.

For 43 beautiful years, Tim was the beloved husband of Jeanne Turk, his high school sweetheart and lifelong partner. Together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and devotion. He was a proud and deeply loving father to Timothy Turk and Jessica Orr, always offering his guidance, his strength, and his unconditional support.

Tim was a cherished big brother to Rhonda Evensen, Christopher Turk, and Shari Kahn. His presence as the eldest sibling was steady and protective, and he took great pride in being a pillar for his family.

Known for his deep love of family, his pride in his naval service, and a quiet strength that inspired those around him, Tim leaves behind a legacy of honor, commitment, and love. He will be remembered for the life he lived in service to others—both in uniform and at home.

He is survived by his loving wife Jeanne, his children Timothy and Jessica, his parents Wayne and Beverly Turk, his siblings Christopher, and Shari, 7 grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, and extended family who will forever cherish his memory.

Fair winds and following seas, Lieutenant Commander. You are loved beyond measure and will never be forgotten.
