Timothy John Townsend

He was born in Portland on August 11, 1963 . He leaves behind his partner, Michelle Tulloch of Sutton, MA; his Mother Althea Collins and honorary father Michael Collins who he looked up to for much of his life of E. Millinocket; his daughter Wendy Townsend of Westbrook; his son Jonathan Irving of Augusta; his son Ryan Townsend of Lewiston, his daughter Ashley Townsend of Westbrook and his daughter Krysten Townsend of Gorham. He leaves behind five sisters, Stephanie Townsend, Suzanne Lizotte, Linda Lizotte, Teri Lawlor and Laurie Hargreaves. He also leaves behind two brothers Alfred Lizotte and Stuart Collins as well as his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by his sons Timothy Irving and Derek Townsend, a brother Timothy Fowler, jr. and Father Timothy Fowler.

Timothy "Tim" worked on the Portland waterfront most of his life and most recently at Free Range Fish as a shipper/receiver. He had a passion for photography and could often be seen with his camera, capturing Maine's beauty (he especially loved to catch a good sunrise). Being a Jeep owner was also something he was very proud of and loved getting lost on the back roads of Maine. He also liked to dabble in the flea market business as it was a fun pastime for him. He was a loving father and his life revolved around his children and grandchildren. Tim was known for having a sense of humor, and although very stubborn at times, he had an exceptionally big heart. To say he will be greatly missed is an understatement.

A Celebration of Life will be planned for a future date. Information to follow.
