Tim leaves behind his best friend Mary Roper, daughters Cindy Stanley, Faith Roper, and Jessica Roper.

Tim lived his entire life in Lake County, and was known by many for his work at various restaurants. He was the owner of Tim Z's restaurant in Perry for many years. Tim loved the Christmas season as friends, family and customers would ask him to visit them as Santa Claus to surprise the children.

Tim fought valiantly for more than seven years against a progressive illness. Even on his worst days, Tim was able to smile and “talk with his beautiful blue eyes." His favorite hobby was golf which he enjoyed until he could no longer play.
