Tim was born on February 5, 1952, to Martha Jo and Raymond Fenn. He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War from 1969 to 1971. His service reflected his strength, courage, and deep sense of duty—qualities that defined him throughout his life.

In accordance with his wishes, Tim has been cremated. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

May the gates of heaven open wide and the protecting Saint of warriors, the archangel Michael, take hold of our fallen brethren and raise this guardian’s soul to paradise. May he wash away the sin and shield against evil, for this fallen defender of a nation and its people, has known sacrifice in service of others. Raise your sword and ascend to the safety and peace above us. Relieve this soul of burden and be blesséd upon it. Favor this soul whilst we present honor. Enshroud this noble warrior from darkness and hasten to everlasting light. Ever be righteously vigilant, as we render, our “Last Salute”. (Copyright Charles Knutson)
