Tim Michael King passed surrounded by children and loved ones on October 10, 2023. He was born to Bruce and Patricia King on August 24, 1966, in West Valley City Utah where he lived his entire life.
Tim worked at Century Link for 30 years and loved his job. He enjoyed fishing, skiing, and bowling. He was most proud of bowling a 299. He took his children to the bowling alley every Wednesday and would offer the craziest prizes if they were able to beat him in a game. They never did, Tim was too good. He went on a ski trip with his best friend Vince every year and it was something he always looked forward to.
He was a lifelong Jazz and Vikings fan. He loved watching games with his boys. (If you know anything about the Vikings or the Jazz, the boys were usually disappointed). He loved puzzles and even wrote out the equation to solve a Rubik’s Cube. He was a master chess player who never lost a game.
Tim loved spending time with family and friends. Every weekend he would visit his parents for a morning cup of coffee. Anyone who knows Tim knows he loved a good debate. Regardless of the topic, if Tim had an opinion there was no changing his mind.
Tim is survived by his parents Pat and Bruce, his children Hayden, Bruce (Alyssa), and Felicia (Nic), his grandchildren Zeek, Kreed, Bexley, and Sophia and his siblings Bruce (Chris), Brett (Lori), and Ted (Venus). The family would like to thank the staff at Jordan Valley Hospital intensive care unit for their wonderful care and support.
I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I worked with Tim for many years and considered him a good friend and colleague. He was always willing to help, and always seemed to have an answer. May you all find comfort at this difficult time.
I can't believe this is here. My heart is broken. I can't stop the tears. I consider Tim as my brother, my little buddy and hero.
I love you Tim!
Tim was a brother to me and I loved him dearly. I will deeply miss the conversations we had about whatever, we didn't always agree, but we respected each other.
Good bye for now, until we meet again. RIP Tim, I love you my brother and friend.
This hits home.
My deepest sympathy to the family.
May you find comfort in knowing he is in a good place.
Rest in peace, my childhood friend.
I worked with Tim at Century Link for many years! He always had the answer!!
Life is very precious, must take it one day at a time!
Dear King Family,
I was so saddened to learn of Tim's passing from Chris. I worked with Tim. I always admired how he took his responsibility as a single dad. It's not easy to raise children even with a partner, much harder on your own. He loved his children as he spoke of them with such pride. It's been some time since I've seen Tim, but with my connection to Chris I've been able to ask about and get updates on Tim and even Pat.
I send my sincere condolences,
Lennie Dennis
What a loss for you and your family. We really liked Tim
What a Rockstar that you'd find in Tim. What a fun guy to work with. Saddened to hear this news. Sending my best to your Family, Tim. One in a Million kind of guy! Such a pleasure to work with for so many years
I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Tim for many years, and he was always very knowledgeable on the job too. He also had a great sense of humor. Rest in Peace Tim!
King family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss. My heart is with you all during this difficult time. Tim was a kind soul and loved his kids more than anything. I know he will watch you kids as you grow and will be proud of all you’ll accomplish. Rest in peace Tim until we meet again!
Tim will truly be missed. Every time I was with him I would laugh. He had a way of getting my “funnybone” every time. Whether it was a family barbecue, or just a friendly meeting, Tim was always a sweetheart. He beamed with pride when I would tell him what a wonderful father Bruce is. It sure made him proud. Not a day will go by that he will not be missed by family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Tim for 20 years and did some mentoring with him on his jpb. I was his tech support. He was very knowledgeable and eager to help techs whenever he could. He was a joy to talk and work with. I will miss him as we kept in touch after i retired.😪
Learning of Tim's passing sure made it a sad day. It's true, he always had the answer. Have a wonderful journey/adventure my union brother. I'll catch up in a bit.
Aunt Pat and Uncle Bruce
Hearing this news has broken my heart. Tim was a joy to talk to and I will miss his wit. Love to all of you during this sad time. Rest in peace Tim. Till we meet again.

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Tim at CenturyLink. At one point he sat near me and had me in tears of laughter most of the day. He knew so much and we’d bounce things off of each other. He was such a great guy. He loved his family so much. Condolences to them at this time. Rest in Peace my friend.
