Timothy "Tim" Marvin Propp

Timothy Propp was born on January 9, 1960, in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, to Marvin and Marjorie (Meyer) Propp. Marvin and Marge raised Tim and his sister, Pam, on the family farm in the Minatare area. After graduating from Bayard High School in 1978, Tim farmed alongside his father before partnering with him to establish Propp and Son Trucking. In 1987, Tim entered the car business and, in the early 1990s, opened his own dealership, Heartland Motor Company. He operated the dealership until 2005, when he transitioned into banking, serving as a loan officer at Valley Bank. In 2016, he joined Platte Valley Bank as a loan officer, where he continued to serve until his passing.

Tim married Carol Burnell in 1980, and together they were blessed with three daughters: Jessica, Jenna, and Mandy. Tim was also blessed with seven grandchildren, and they were the light of his life. He loved cheering them on in all their activities and rarely, if ever, missed a sporting event or ballet recital. Known lovingly as Papa Tim, he was adored by his grandchildren.

Tim enjoyed golfing and treasured the friendships he shared with his regular group of golf buddies. He also looked forward to his daily conversations with his sister and best friend, Pam. A diehard Husker fan, he enjoyed watching football games and collecting Nebraska memorabilia, and he even named his daughters’ childhood dog Osborne. Although Tim pursued success in both the automotive and banking industries, his heart always remained in farming. When he was able, he enjoyed helping his cousins during harvest.

Tim is survived by his daughters, Jessica (Brian) Jones, Jenna (Paul) Fullen, and Mandy (Max) Hadenfeldt; his grandchildren, Nora, Alice, Henry, Maggie, Parker, Mary, and Everett; his sister, Pam (Ed) Petersen; his aunts, Margaret Meyer, Lenora Meyer, Kathy Propp, and Phyllis Reifschneider; his uncle, Ron Rahmig; and numerous cousins and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Marvin and Marjorie Propp.
