It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Timothy "Tim" John Reed on December 16 ^th at the age of 55 in Oldtown, ID.  Tim was born and raised in Ione before moving to Renton, WA where he met the love of his life, Teresa McCurry, while cruising the Renton Loop in 1985. Tim and Teresa were married on September 4, 1987, and began raising a family with daughter DeAnn and son Matt. It wasn't long, however, before Tim missed the close-knit community he grew up in and returned to Ione In 1990, with his young family in tow.

After returning, Tim first went into business briefly with his mom at Reed's Shop and Save before eventually finding his true calling in construction, excelling at the carpentry trade.  At the time of his death, Tim had been working as a journeyman carpenter at the Kalispel Tribe where he had been employed for nearly 15 years.

Tim was beloved by his family and the many who were blessed to call him a friend.  His impact on the lives of those who loved him will never be forgotten or replicated. Tim is survived by Teresa, his wife of over 30 years, his daughter DeAnn (Thomas) Sawyer of Newport, WA and son Matt (Janna) Reed of Cusick, WA.  Tim's seven grandchildren, Tommy, Kylah, Everett, Jordan, Andy, Paxton and Lucas were the light of his life and he cheered them on at every sporting event and school function.

Tim was preceded in death by his dad, John Reed and is survived by his mom, Karen Reed and two sisters Tammy (Jim) Benham of Oldtown, ID, and Becky (Craig) Larson of Ione, WA. Tim adored his nieces Sara Larson, Jodi Benham (Christopher Huizar) and their son Archibaldo; Amy (Joe) Sams and their children Jace, Colton and Miah. As further proof of Tim's boundless love for all, he had a special place in his heart for his "bonus" daughters Caytlin and Jocelin Nenema.

Tim will be remembered fondly for his love of the Zags, fishing (and the tall tales that accompany it), shooting pool, golf – and his favorite past-time of all – his love/hate relationship with the Seattle Seahawks.

The service will begin at 12:00, with a reception following. Afterwards, if you'd like to continue sharing stories and play a game of pool in Tim's honor, join us at Fay's Lounge at 402 N Idaho Ave, Oldtown, ID.  In lieu of flowers, the family would like you to please consider a donation in Tim's name to Newport Little Guys Wrestling to support his grandsons' love of the sport.
