Timothy ‘Tim’ James Naylon, 66, of Denver, Colorado, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Friday, October 31, 2025 at Swedish Medical Center.

Tim was born April 21, 1959 in Dixon, Illinois, the son of James Naylon and Judith (Temple) Norris. He worked for Publication Printers for over 20 years as a bindery supervisor. Outside of work, he was known for cheering on his beloved Chicago sports teams, especially The Bears, fishing, brewing his own beer, and listening to his favorite bands like The Beatles, Cheap Trick, and Led Zeppelin. Tim filled a room with his presence, his huge personality and equally huge heart. He will always be remembered for his booming voice and his larger than life laugh.
