He is survived by his wife Klasiena, daughter Izola Anders, son-in-law Noah Sutherland, grandson Revan J. Sutherland, mother Sharon Ward and sisters Becky Ward and Cindy Camp.
Tim was a graduate of Ionia High School, his hobbies included hunting, fishing, collecting knives, site-seeing and especially spending time with his grandson.
