Timothy Lee Jorgensen

Timothy Lee Jorgensen died peacefully on Saturday, May 12, 2012, with his family by his side. Born in Neenah, Wisconsin on July 12, 1946, Tim and his family moved to the Northwest in 1953 and eventually Edmonds in 1955 where he has lived ever since. Tim courageously battled Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma for 13 years, but never lost his passion for life and the outdoors. Besides being a devoted father and loving his family, Tim loved the Northwest and all it had to offer. Exploring the mountains, spending time at the family cabin in Twisp, hiking, camping, skiing, hunting and Husky Football were among some of his favorite pastimes, but Tims special passion was always the water. With his wife and kids, Tim cruised the local waters from South Puget Sound to Desolation Sound aboard their boat the Southern Cross. Tim had a persona that left us all laughing and happy, with a quick wit that could turn an ordinary time into an event. To us that knew him, we will forever remember his many Timisms and infectious sense of humor. Although we will all miss him terribly, we have been blessed to know him. He is survived by his wife Sue (Claybrook); children Travis, Tyler and Laura; his beloved Golden Retrievers; mother Dorothy; brother Buck (Nancy); sister Laurie (Dave); as well as his nephew and many nieces. Tims family would like to send a special thank you to Dr. Richard McGee and the nursing staff at the Puget Sound Cancer Center for their tireless and compassionate care. Announcement: Please remember Tim by sending donations in his name to the Washington Chapter of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society.
