Tim graduated from South Vigo High School, Terre Haute, IN, class of 1974. In his youth he was active in Little League, Babe Ruth and American Legion baseball. He worked for many years at Bloomfield Manufacturing and served as a supervisor. He was farm manager for Land-O-Lakes in Minnesota and several farms in Illinois. In later years he spent his time painting and drawing caricatures, devoting hours and hours to playing his guitar, composing songs and music, studying classical music and working in the yard sculpting trees and shrubbery.
Tim is survived by his wife of 39 years, Karen Ann Eli; son, Kyle P. Malone of Seattle, WA; daughter, Shayna L. Chance (Seth); only grandchild, Rowan E. Chance of Olympia, WA; parents, Bloomfield, IN; brother, Steven M. Malone, Linton, IN; sister-in-law, Lauren Gilbert (Ed), Port St. Lucie, FL; father-in-law, Gene Eli, Portage, WI; aunts, Carolyn Jones-Gorney (Tony) and Sandy Ridge-Fisher, Terre Haute, IN; and cousins, David Jones (Miriam) Deltona, FL, Dennis Jones (Penni), Covington, GA, Pamela Heath (Jerry), Riceboro, GA, Ronda Tezlaff (Bob), Aurora, IL, Dawn Huckaby (Joe), and Terry (Kelly), Terre Haute, IN.
Tim was preceded in death by his grandparents, Maudalene Taylor Malone and Henry William Malone, and Stanley R. and Ethel Fulkerson Shanklin; and uncles, Leon E. Malone, wife Patricia and daughter Judy, Jackie R. Ridge, Charles K. Jones, and Albert Fisher.
Tim will forever be in the hearts of those who loved and cherished him and greatly missed for his caring, compassionate ways, dedication to and love of family, gentleness, endearing and entertaining storytelling, humor, laughter, love of dogs and all animals, all nature and perseverance throughout his years of critical health problems. Tim truly loved his adopted state of Washington and mentioned every day how blessed he was to live in such a beautiful area surrounded by God's perfection in flowers, trees, mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Tim requested cremation and that there be no public services. Arrangements are entrusted to McCombs and Wagner, Shelton, WA. Ceremony at private home will be held in Shelton, WA, and graveside services later in Terre Haute, IN.
