We are sad to announce the unexpected death of our beloved husband, father, brother, Pépé and friend who passed away at age 69 on April 12, 2023. Tim was a much loved, kind, and thoughtful man who loved fully and greatly, he left an imprint on the hearts of those that knew him.
They all say, “I’m sorry for your loss” as if you could be taken from me. It is as the saying goes; It isn’t what we leave behind, it’s what we leave in people’s hearts that count, and Tim left us all with his passion for the beauty in all of nature as he created his exceptional paintings and his one of a kind wild life photography.
Tim held many titles in his life beyond already previously mentioned; Son, Husband, Father, Fishing Guide, gardener, Jack of all trades, musician, golfer, a generous host and culinary artist. a trusted confidante to those of us who knew and valued his steadfast loyalty and good sense.
But most of all, he loved nothing more than spending time with his family and friends, cooking beautiful meals, lending a hand wherever he could.
Tim’s sons; Ryan, Shane, Chris, and Jordan all share an unbreakable and loving bond as he was their number one fan.
He was teaching his grandchildren how to fish and how to cook. As well, how to respect the earth and its animals, a loving and gentle Pépé
He was predeceased by his parents; George and Nita Hogue of Ontario. Left to mourn, his wife Sue, sons; Ryan (Estelle), Shane, (grandson Caden), Chris (Michelle) and grandson’s Nixon and Emmett, Jordan (Michelle) grandchildren Harlow and Asher.
Lovingly remembered by his siblings; Michelle (Norm), Judy (Nerio), Gary (Linda), Noella (Larry), Rose Marie (Stan) and Terry.
Tim also leaves behind his father-in-law, Dave (Julie) and sisters-in-law; Michele (Frank), Sharon (Dave).
Forever in our hearts, never to be forgotten.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Sue I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May you hold close the memories you have and lean on those that love you.
We really miss you Uncle Tim. It can feel like we have all the time in the world and then the reality is, life and our time together can be too short. We had made plans to play some golf rounds together when the weather got better. That will not happen now, but will at some time and place down the road Uncle Tim. We love you and miss you. Your big booming laugh and large warming smile. Rest now in peace and love Uncle Tim.
The sudden loss of such a beloved man leaves a big void in our hearts that will be very hard to fill. My heart felt sympathy goes out to Sue and the rest of his extended family. As a brother-in-law living more than 2500 miles apart for most of our adult lives, I remember Tim’s younger years. As a young boy, when I would see Tim he was always either fishing, hunting or just spending time with nature. This was how he developed a loving nature that cared for everyone he came in contact with. He loved it when his dad, George, decided to move to northern Ontario when he retired. It was during this time that Tim fulfilled his natural love of the outdoors. That love came from his father who shared the same values to protect and preserve the natural beauty of God’s gift to us. I think that is how Tim’s loving personalty was formed. We will miss you Tim but I know you will keep protecting your loved ones from a higher place now. Rest in peace brother.

My most beloved brother Tim. I go to pick up my phone to tell you what new recipe I found that you have to try and you’re not there anymore to answer my call. I want to brag about what a great job Stan did on a project he was working on and you’re not there to cheer him on. I find the most incredible hole has appeared in my heart ♥️ and I just don’t know how to try and go about filling it because my steadfast confidante has left this world and has taken a spot sitting between our beloved Father George and Mother Juanita aka Chickey Poo whom you bestowed that title on. I want you to know now as I did pretty much every single day of every week of every year for the last 62 years because I am quite sure I was not gifted as a 2 year old to have a conversation lol simply that I love you. You’re giving soul, your love of all things family, your compassion when someone needed a hug and a smile as grand as The state of Texas is big ! I knew and I thank god for all my family but a special thank God the Heavenly Father for giving me 64 years with the best brother I was so greatly blessed with who put up with me loved me and protected me fiercely! Forever in all our hearts and don’t worry I got your message I won’t cry too much and I promise to take care of Susie always just as you asked. I
I love you always and forever. Your baby sister
Tim ‘The very best’ we were so lucky to have him in our family. He always had a hug for us all. He gave so much, sharing his caught fish, his art, his veggies from the garden (tasty peaches), running to help others, helping with jobs we could not do, and showing us his ideas which were always sooo artistic. He was a very talented man in so many ways. We will always have him in our hearts forever. Love is the word that best describes Tim, and he gave that to us all. Dave
