Born November 5, 1947. He leaves behind a legacy defined by his service in the United States Navy and his profound impact on those who knew him.
Timothy, known affectionately as "Tim" or “Shrek” to friends and family, dedicated a significant portion of his life to the noble cause of defending his nation. His journey began when he enlisted in the Navy in 1966, where he served over 28 years with distinction, embodying the core values of honor, courage, and commitment. Throughout his military career, Tim demonstrated unparalleled dedication, rising through the ranks to “Senior Chief Petty Officer” and earning the respect of his peers and superiors alike.
Beyond his service uniform, Tim was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend. His warmth, kindness, and unwavering support endeared him to all who had the privilege of knowing him. Whether sharing stories of his naval adventures or offering a listening ear to those in need, Tim's smile and conversation lit up the lives of those around him.
In his retirement, Tim continued to exemplify the values instilled in him during his time in the Navy. He remained active with his family, always ready to lend a helping hand and contribute to what they needed. He moved back to Nebraska, and took care of his parents, and his wife Vicki. He took up a new career of an owner operator where he worked alongside his brothers, Greg & Chris. He loved antique farm tractors and spent many hours with family and friends purchasing, restoring, and reminiscing about the how the tractors worked in their day, and how they changed agriculture over the years. His first restoration was his father’s tractor (Farmall M) and was restored by all three brothers. This began his love for restoration of over 10 tractors.

Tim always said, “The sun never sets on a sailor”.
