Timothy Joseph Vigil

Timothy Joseph Vigil, age 63, of Henderson, Nevada passed away on Saturday, February 15, 2025. He was born in in Burlingame, California, near his first home in Pacifica, in June of 1961 to Dorothea (“Dotti”) Christensen and Joseph (“Joe”) Vigil. He was the youngest of his siblings: Richard, Sandy, Celeste, Kirsten, and Elizabeth (“Lyz”). He also had many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins from the Vigil family, and wonderful nieces and nephews from both sides.

Tim grew up primarily in Santa Rosa, California, where he attended Cardinal Newman and Piner High Schools as part of the class of 1979. He played soccer as a child and enjoyed celebrations with his friends. He attended college in Northern California studying computer science.

Tim met his wife, Birgit, at the Grand Canyon and they were married for nearly 40 years. They wed in Hamburg, Germany and lived in various places, ultimately settling in the Las Vegas valley where they raised their children. Tim’s self-proclaimed best life achievements were his children: his two sons: Michael (“Mikey”) and Anton, and two daughters Alysia and Anna-Lena (“Nina,” who is married to David). Anton and his wife, Bryony have two lovely children; Tim’s grandchildren: Percy and Matisse.

Tim always had a strong entrepreneurial spirit. He developed his own businesses for many years, starting with a hauling business, and then a successful computer repair shop, “Laptop Doctor,” for over 10 years. He then worked as a technician fixing a variety of different machines and printers until his death. Tim was always very dedicated to his work and cared deeply about performing his duties and providing for his family.

Tim was a very vibrant soul. He enjoyed tanning, going to pools, listening to music, and loved to socialize with friends. He was an avid sports fan and loved watching football. His favorite team was the San Francisco 49ers, and he also loved the San Francisco Giants baseball team. He was a news enthusiast, keen follower of current events, and enjoyed discourse on politics and world affairs. Tim really loved to travel, as well. He appreciated different cultures and environments around the world. He loved going to the beach and thrived in warm environments, which is one of the many reasons he loved Las Vegas so much.

Tim passed away on February 15, 2025, at the age of 63 after a three-year battle with cancer. He passed peacefully in his sleep at home, surrounded by his wife and all four of his children. A Celebration of Life will take place on Friday, February 28, 2025, at 2:00pm at Palm Mortuary located at 800 South Boulder Highway in Henderson, Nevada.
