Timothy Wilhelm

Timothy Dean Wilhelm, born July 8, 1951, to Dutch and Jean Wilhelm suddenly and unexpectedly left this world and entered into his heavenly home. It was with painful sorrow we saw him go, but it is with a joyful peace to know his destination. Tim, a life-long native of Post Falls, graduated from Post Falls High School after attending his younger years at IHM Catholic School in Coeur d'Alene. In high school he was well known for his competitive talent on the basketball court. Tim loved staging practical jokes with his brothers, and had an uncanny sense of humor. When you paired that with the wit of his brothers, James, Dick, Roger, Dan, and Phil, you could count on uncontrollable laughter. Tim had two sisters, Mary Ann and Liz, which he protected, sometimes tortured in love, and showered with his gentle, unconditional spirit. Tim was employed by the Forest Service and spent a season at McGee Ranger Station. He enjoyed working on the island of Maui for a time. He also worked as a carpenter building houses and worked side by side his brothers, Dick, Roger, and Phil, and later his son Jeremy. Tim's favorite pastimes were hunting and fly fishing on the St. Joe River with his son and family members. Tim married Pam Liptac and they had a son, Jeremy Wilhelm in 1977. They later divorced. The bond between Tim and Jeremy -cemented in love- was unbreakable. Jeremy was Tim's son and his best friend. Tim leaves this earthly world to wait for his family until one day they will join him in the Lord's eternal presence. He leaves behind his mother, Jean Wilhelm, his son Jeremy Wilhelm, his brothers, Dick Wilhelm, Roger (Linda) Wilhelm, Dan Wilhelm, Phil (Karen) Wilhelm, and sister MaryAnn Schevenius (Bruce), all of Post Falls, and his brother James (Kathie) Wilhelm of Spokane, WA and his sister Elizabeth Jenks (Mark) of Coeur d'Alene. He was preceded in death by his father, Dutch Wilhelm. You are welcome to join us in celebrating Tim's life on Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 11:00 a.m.. It will be held at Bell Tower Funeral Home in Post Falls, ID.
