Tim was a bit reserved and quiet but very ambitious, generous, and kind. He was a very hard worker and always had a DIY project to work on. He enjoyed being in the mountains fishing, camping, and hiking. Later in life he enjoyed bicycling, running and cycling at the gym. He graduated from Lake County High School, worked in the Climax mines until he joined the US Army in 1973 where he was stationed at Fort Carson and moved to Fountain, Colorado. This is where he met his wife Alberta, got married and started a family. He moved to Colorado Springs Colorado in the mid-80s and retired from the Army after 20 years of service. Tim then worked at Coca-Cola for 15 years and retired from there as a master service technician. He was a good man who put others before himself.
A viewing will be held on Friday August 26, 2022, from 5 – 7pm at the Shrine of the Remembrance located at 1730 E. Fountain Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80910. With a funeral service the following morning on the 27th at 10am at Shrine of Remembrance, followed by a luncheon.

24 Aug 2022My deepest sympathies for your loss. I met Tim in cycling class at Peterson. He was quiet and mild mannered, but always came with a smile and kept us motivated with an occasional shout out during class! He was a valued member of our little community and I will miss seeing him there. I hope your family finds comfort in this post. Warmest regards, Mary

My sincerest condolences for you at this time. You have my deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. May the Lord bring you comfort during this difficult time. ❤️?
Your Dad (My Uncle Tim) was an honorable, loving, caring, self less man with strong morals, values & ethics.
Right was right and wrong was wrong… he always put others needs first and set a great example to all of us who were privileged to know him. He will be greatly missed. My Mom & him were so close and she will miss her brother dearly. ?
Heaven welcomed a new Angel! ?❤️
Much love,
Your cousin Donna Abeyta & family

27 Aug 2022My sincerest condolences carnal. You and your pops had such an amazing relationship and he was so proud of you. Your dad is the best role model I can think of in my life and I will always continue to look up to him. One word comes to mind when I think of Tim and that’s “content” he didn’t need much at all because he had a deep joy that I can only hope to find. God has been creating the perfect place for your dad in heaven that must have been so perfect there was nothing else to do but call him home to paradise where you will be with him again someday. I love you always my brother

2 Sep 2022I’m saddened that he has left us. He was a kind,gentle and honorable man. He had so much love in his heart and such a beautiful smile, as all the Maez decendants have. May He rest in peace and may God shine a light on him, as bright and golden as he was.
