Melody, Timothy E. of Coon Rapids, MN. May 30, 1947 - Oct. 18, 2010. Tim went on to the next dimension of his life in the presence of his wife Susan, Emily and grandchild growing, and the entire home filled with those he loved like crazy. Tim was complicated yet simple, intelligent, handy beyond words and could be difficult yet accommodating. It was a combination all his own. He leaves behind a lifetime of memories for his wife Susan; devoted caregivers, Karen and Pat; sons, Tony (Melissa and Dawson, Shane, and Lauren Lewis), Patrick (Emily and grandchild coming in March), Collin; siblings, nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and 1 brother. Our life will never be the same. Memorial service Saturday 1 PM at Grace Lutheran Church, 13655 Round Lake Blvd. NW, Andover.
