Timothy Lee Inman
February 25, 1950 - August 21, 2013
"Milwaukee's Best" stock plummeted when we lost our beloved Timothy Lee Inman on August 21st, however Utah's wildlife population will be on the rise. Elk and deer can now breathe a sigh of relief. Tim was an amazing husband, father, brother, uncle, grandpa, son, friend, Outdoorsman, mentor, and a so-so golfer (according to him). He was many things to countless people and those who knew him are suffering a big loss. Tim passed away while living the life that he loved. Tim and Betta celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on August 12th. He was the most dependable and hard working person that any of us have ever met, he would always help anyone who needed it. He always led by example. He was employed by KFC and Quality Distributing for 37 years. Many of his family and friends have said, "There is the right way, the wrong way, and Tim's way." No matter how goofy something was done, it got done, and he enjoyed doing it.
He greeted everyone with a wide smile that will be greatly missed. He loved spending time with his family, especially his grandkids and many friends. He and his family have been camping at Flaming Gorge for over 40 years, he loved every second of it. Tim was always the first to start hunting endeavors, and to make the cocktails. He loved a good campfire and the stories surrounding it. When he hunted or fished, it wasn't just for the thrill of it; it was to build memories and spend time with the people he loved. He was a dedicated lifetime member of the Beehive-Wasatch Bowhunters and helped make it what it is today.
Tim is survived by his wife Betta; children Bridger (Melissa), Amy (Jason), Brian (Nicole), Becky, Chris (Jeff), and Kim; grandchildren Taylor, Paige, Madison, Katie, Jaeda, Aspen, Abigael, Hunter, Cole, Brody, Brayden; great-grandson Landon; father Bill; siblings Wayne (Jean), Jayne, Mike (Susan), Becky (Dave), Todd (Vicki); mother-in-law Darlene Costanzo; brothers-in-law Tom (Alane), and David (Debbie) Costanzo; nieces, nephews, and countless friends. He is preceded in death by his mother Leah and his father-in-law Arthur Costanzo.
A casual celebration of Tim's life will be held on Sunday, August 25th at 4:00 pm at the Beehive-Wasatch Bowhunters Archery Club (Take I-80 East to the Lamb's Canyon Exit and take the North frontage road).

"Damn it Bridger"
In Loving Memory
Betta, When I heard the news, it hit me pretty hard as if the news was about my own father or brother. I had to sit down and regather myself and my thoughts. I have considered you and Tim friends and even family far before financial clients. The times we spent chatting and joking for what seemed like hours and the bow hunting shows Tim and I watched when I came over are fond memories of mine that I will cherish. I know that words can't take away the hurt or make things better, but you and your family are in my prayers. I look forward to helping you and your family and growing our friendship for many years to come. If you or your family need anything at all (especially outside of finances), please don't hesitate to call me. Chris Flink

Betta, and family, we were so very sorry to hear about Tim. Leonard always enjoyed talking with Tim about fishing and getting his most recent "secrets" about fishing. (When Tim was still at Quality and Leonard needed to pick something up....and he was gone a LONG time, we all knew he had found Tim and was talking fishing.) Leonard feels that Tim and Gary Denter are already laughing and having a good time together. Betta, my heart hurts for you...losing your best friend and husband of 25 years has got to be beyond words of sorrow. May you hold tight to the precious memories to help ease a little of you pain. And KNOW he is watching over you. With Love, The Dejong's

Wayne & Jean, It was good seeing you Friday night, but I didn't understand that you had just lost your brother Tim-2 days prior. I remember him from years back-he was a fun person to be around. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your family's loss.

I must say that I get a great feeling inside when I think of Tim. Over the 40+ years I have known him, he always was an amiable man. A peacemaker who I am sure had his moments, but kept them bridled as he worked through the details. We had many/MANY conversations on about every topic imaginable, I always enjoyed our visits. Although I was not in his inner circle of friends, he made me feel like one. I also saw him as an honorable man who did what he said he would do. A man who went the extra mile to help another person out. On several occasions as I was struggling to work through one thing or another, I received great council from Tim. It did not come unsolicited, but upon request. I know he will leave a great legacy & a LARGE VOID in the family. We wish you strength as you work through the difficult days ahead.

I'm so sorry for your loss of such a happy, friendly, good hearted guy. Tim was one of a kind who made me and my dad always feel like family on the deer hunt or at the club. He was the first and only person I've drank Milwaukees Best with. He was a good man and an amazing friend who could change your whole day for the better on the hunt or at the club with that infectious smile and that one of a kind personality

Dad, I miss you more with everyday that passes. I call the house and just pray that you will answer the phone again. I hate that you where taken so sudden, but I know that you must be needed for something bigger now. We all know they take the best ones first and although its heartbreaking, I know that you are at peace and happy. I feel so blessed to be your daughter and to have had so many wonderful memories with you. :) I hope you know how much you meant to me and everyone who ever crossed your path and how many people you taught in your short 63 years. I love you and promise to take care of mom and Bridger and everyone else because I know thats what you would want me to do. I love you with all my heart and you will never be forgotten. xoxoxo
