Timothy William Red Bird
Beloved son, father, husband, grandfather, and great grandfather will be greatly missed by family, relatives, and friends.
We greatly mourn his passing but rejoice with him in that he is in eternal peace and joy with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Tim loved life, he loved hunting, fishing with his boys and grandchildren, and spending time outside enjoying God’s creation.
Tim loved to travel, visiting family and friends all across this country.
Tim loved to get up early in the morning and it was his traditional practice to greet the morning sun and thank the creator for the new day.
After retirement, his favorite pastime was playing bingo. He loved being around people and would sit and talk for hours with anyone who came by.
Tim had a friendly handshake and smile for people of all color.
To all who knew Tim, we will miss you, we will miss your humor, we will miss your smile, and especially your honesty.
It has been a privilege and honor to have known you. Né-á’eše.

I saw “friendly” Tim, just four days before he left for his Heavenly home. We talked a bit as I ordered at the deli in the Cheyenne Depot. After shoppping around, I went back to him to hold his hands in mine and say “God Bless You, Tim”. What a beautiful way to say our goodbyes. We will see him again In God’s glorious Heaven! “Thank you, Tim, for always sharing your wonderful smile”.

You were all blessed to have him in your lives.

Gene Harrington says
I met Tim right after I moved to Montana to work for MPC in the 1 & 2 tool room in the spring of 1980. Tim & Ernie gave me a lot of information about living in MT. And most
of it was really good information, but some of it, mostly when they looked at each other
and laughed had me wondering. They were a great pair and I miss them both.
