Timothy Robert Fidler, age 48 of Howard City, Michigan passed away unexpectedly September 27, 2023. He was born December 9, 1974 in Bangladesh to David and Darlene Fidler, as the family served as missionaries. Tim owned and operated Realty Lawn Care serving West Michigan for 16 years. Many of his clients and colleagues quickly became close friends. Tim could often be found hosting a bonfire, or a cookout with them, and his motto was all are welcome and treated like family. Tim loved adventure, whether it was long summer days on the water with family, or cool autumn nights on 2 wheels riding with his dearest friends. He will be lovingly remembered for his hilarious antics and witty sarcasm.

He is survived by his parents David and Darlene Fidler of Wyoming, Michigan and his sister Michaela of Dallas, Texas. Tim found great joy in raising a blended family. He leaves behind his children Christopher, Joseph, Emmaleigh, Kennedy, Abby, Madison, Keelie, Austin, and Marissa along with his wife Mandy, whom he was separated from at the time of his passing. He leaves four grandchildren to treasure his memory, including Hunter, Haylee, Josiah, and Saphira. Tim was cherished by a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins and was adored by so many great friends.

Tim was always the first to stop and help someone in need, and he always had a scheme up his sleeve to make someone smile when it was needed most. In his memory, the family asks that you go out and perform a random act of kindness, lend a helping hand, or find a way to make someone smile. Memorial contributions are unwarranted and unnecessary, as the family had documented their wishes and planned ahead, in case they ever faced the unexpected. Cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held at a later date, when all of his children can be present. Internment will be at Aetna Township Cemetery.
