Survived by his Parents, Irene Garcia & Jesus Montoya and siblings Angela (Bulmaro), Mike (Patty) and Tina (Martin) ,Tim has joined his heavenly brother Mark. Tim also left behind his 3 children Timothy Jr., Jose (Nika) & Samantha (Taylor), as well as his 9 grandchildren Tristan, Amaria, Wyatt, Za’Veya, Malaki, Connor, Ellieanna, Luna and Kiran. We can’t forget all his nieces and nephews as well as many more loved ones, you were all dear to his heart.
Growing up Tim spent a lot of time with his older sister Angela. He was a sweet baby, always happy. As he grew to a young boy he was helpful around the house and funny, always making everyone laugh. He was adventurous and wanted to always be outside riding his bike, digging in the dirt looking for worms for grandpa to go fishing with or down by the creek. As a teenager he was friendly person, he had a lot of friends, always was hanging out with them and soon started getting into innocent trouble with his friends and his girlfriend. He went to Riverside 9-10 grade. He left school after 10th grade, became secluded and was always taking care of grandma.
He then had his 3 wonderful children. He was a great father. Lots of Uno and Monopoly family game nights that always ended in laughter. Tim was a big jokester, to all. He could always find the silver lining in most if not all situations. Just loved to laugh and have a good time.
Tim LOVED to cook, most of his jobs throughout life were food related. From McDonald’s to Pizza Parlor’s and even restaurant settings. He loved to take recipes and make them his own. He definitely passed along some cooking skills to his children. He and his family started their own little tradition about 6 years ago, give or take a year, they would get together and make tamales all afternoon just to enjoy a well deserved meal all together.
He loved HIS family, his children, his grandchildren, he was very proud of who they were ALL becoming. He loved a lot of things but to name a few, Tim really loved his Friday Night Fish Fry’s, Green Bay Packers & Star Wars, but he also had an interest in all sorts of music and movies. He was a simple man, never asked for much. You could say he enjoyed the little things in life.

A gathering in memory of Tim is being planned for a later date.
