husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, uncle and friend. Tim passed away Monday March 15, 2021
at his home with his family by his side.
Tim was a 4th generation Colorado native growing up in the suburbs of N. Denver graduating from
Ranum High School in 1982. He married the love of his life, Tammy Welke, in the Jamaican sand on Feb.
15, 1987. Together they raised three wonderful children whose happiness was his primary focus and
joy. Then two grandsons were born bringing his child-like passions to another new high. They both
adored ‘Papa’ and all his antics and he could never get enough time with them. Tim’s generosity and
kindness to all will be cherished and forever missed.
He is survived by his wife Tammy, daughter Jennifer Marusich (spouse Paul), son Joseph and daughter
Abigail, mother Nancy, siblings Patrick, Terin Forsee (spouse Michael) & James (spouse Christina) and
two grandsons Landon and Dominic Marusich. Tim was preceded in death by his father James.
In lieu of flowers Timothy would be most honored by donations to either of his favorite interests - kids
and animals. For kids: St Jude Children’s Research Hospital – www.stjude.org ; or for animals: The Wild
Animal Sanctuary of Keenesburg, Colorado www.wildanimalsanctuary.org
A memorial service will be held but limited to close friends and family due to current restrictions – date and time to follow. A celebration of life, in true Tim fashion, will be planned for mid-year.
Clint Eastwood once said in a movie, “I rode with him... and I got no complaints.” Tim always hoped
Tammy could say that when this time came. She can proudly say mission accomplished.
