Remembering Timothy Wilson

We’d like to thank everyone who donated in the first fundraiser in memory of Tim. We opened a second Go Fund Me because so many have continued to reach out asking to donate. This is the most uncomplicated method as our family is going through so much and are attending to each other. We are only keeping this open through week of 12/21.

We miss Tim greatly. We as a a family had a private viewing to say our final goodbyes. His ashes were given to his parents and will be shared among close family. An oak tree is also being planted in his memory, along Lake Superior. 

Tim's Celebration of Life was Thursday, December 14th. Westgor Funeral Home streamed the service and it can be found on their YouTube channel.

We are getting blue memory wristbands in his honor to share with family and friends. Please contact our family with your address if you’d like a wristband(s). We are expecting the bracelets early January. 

Thank you everyone for all your thoughts, prayers, stories, photos, and videos of Tim. He is gone but not forgotten from this world.

The following is Tim's obituary.

Tim will forever be remembered as an incredible soul. Everyone knows how tough yet kind he was. There was also nothing he was afraid of. Timothy Marcos Wilson (34) of Neenah, WI passed from untimely circumstances December 7th, 2023. He was born in West Covina, CA in 1989 to Shane and Rosie Wilson, making them first time parents. Tim always had a big heart. He would love to bring home stray dogs and other animals home without any second thoughts (and once he was an adult, he would often welcome people into also, because Tim hated to see people down on their luck).

His favorite dog was a pit bull named Dodger.

 Tim was the oldest of four children and he was the ringleader for all adventures from childhood to adulthood. As a young kid, he loved camping, fishing with his grandfather Gene, and riding bikes. He was also close with his grandmother Sharon, especially as her first grandchild. As Tim grew older, he loved music. His favorite artist was Tupac. He loved rap, hip hop and R&B. He had a talent for writing songs and would sing his heart out.

His favorite color has always been blue and Tim collected dozens of owl figurines.

Tim lived in many places- from California to Arizona and lastly, Wisconsin. His formative teenage years were spent in Lake Havasu City, AZ. Tim also spent almost 10 years of his adult life in Flagstaff, AZ. The last 5 years of his life was spent in Neenah, Wisconsin near his parents and brothers. Tim's pride and gem was his son Jewelz Malone. Born on December 7th, Tim chose his son's middle name because it was grandma Sharon's maiden name. Coincidentally, grandma Sharon's dad Bert Malone and Jewelz shared a birthday. Tim loved that fact. Tim was a social butterfly in life. He cherished friendships no matter the distance. Since his passing, many people have told us they will miss not only his company but his personal phone calls. He loved to call people up and send voice texts. Tim worked hard in life and was a jack of all kinds of trades. He loved the work grind and had big plans for life. He was so proud of himself when he got his own apartment in Wisconsin for him and Jewelz. One of Tim's biggest adventures was his cross country road trip in 2020 from Wisconsin to Arizona. He drove solo and he made so many stops to visit with people. He would say though the biggest reason for his trip was to visit his grandpa Gene. Tim made his last trip to Arizona by flight in 2022 to visit family once again. Family was everything to Tim. If you knew Tim, you knew a true friend and a man with integrity. He was authentic and real as they come. Tim was preceded in death by his grandmother Sharon and grandfather Gilbert. He is survived by his parents Shane & Rosie Wilson, his son Jewelz, his younger brothers Ricky & Shane, his sister Chyna, his brother in law Andrew, his nephew Ronan, his niece Frances, his grandparents-Gene, Awilda, & Rosie, in addition to many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. While Tim no longer walks among us, he is in our hearts. Remember him fondly.

Thank you to everyone who wore blue to his service.
