Madison - With heavy hearts, we honor the life and memory of Timm Minor, who unexpectedly passed away on March 24, 2024, at the age of 63.

Timm was born to Jack and Delores Minor and raised on the Northside of Madison with his siblings, John and Lynn. He attended Madison East High School, where his talents on the football field earned him recognition as Madison’s Big Eight Conference Player of the Year and All-State Running Back in 1978. It was during these years that Timm met Gina, the love of his life and forged friendships that would last a lifetime. After high school, Timm pursued his education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, graduating with a degree in Economics.

In 1983, he married Gina and together they raised three daughters, Katie, Breah and Erica, who were the pride and joy of his life. Timm was a very loving, devoted, and hard-working father. He took every opportunity to talk about his daughters and their accomplishments.

He spent his career as a Natural Gas Rate Analyst, working first for the Wisconsin Public Service Commision and recently retiring from Madison Gas & Electric after 27 years of service.

Timm was a captivating storyteller, often sharing legendary stories from his annual fishing trips to Canada and countless outdoor adventures. He had a mischievous sense of humor and loved to orchestrate pranks on his family and friends. Timm loved riding his motorcycle and cooking on the grill for his family. He was a highly requested chef for many family events and always made certain to present his finished product beautifully, paying attention to every detail. A true carnivore, he could often be spotted spending time in the meat department at local grocery stores.

His greatest joy in life was his three precious grandchildren, Landon, Hudson, and Lenni. He was the most adoring, caring and adventurous grandpa (GaGa) in the world. He shared his love for adventure and mischief each time they were together. He nurtured within them the spirit of exploration and creativity. Landon, Hudson, and Lenni held their GaGa dear, as he was a cherished presence that brought immense joy to their lives.

Timm will be forever remembered for his fierce loyalty, endless generosity, witty remarks and “Timm-isms.” He was a patient listener and had the ability to make everyone in his life feel special, loved and supported.

Timm is survived by his wife of 40 years, Gina, daughters Katie (Justin) Genrich, Breah (Joey) Lieberman and Erica (Josh) Reece, grandchildren Landon and Lenni Lieberman, and Hudson Reece, mother Delores Minor, sister Lynn (Troy) Vitek, brother-in-law Michael (Mandy) McKenna, nieces and nephews Mike, Ryan, Ali, Ross, Hailey, Jake and Logan and many cherished friends. He is preceded in death by his best friend and brother, John and father, Jack.

A memorial service to honor and celebrate Timm’s life will be held on Saturday, March 30, 2024 at Ryan Funeral Home, 2418 Sherman Avenue, Madison, WI. Visitation will take place from 3:00pm-5:00pm with a service to follow. The Minor family would like to thank everyone for their love and support. We will forever hold Timm in our hearts.
