Timothy (Tim) Dale McCloud

Timothy (Tim) Dale McCloud, 71, of Bayport, a cherished family man and part of the color of the Valley, passed away peacefully on December 16, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. 

Tim is survived by his loving wife of 49 years, Karen, daughters Tara (Laurance) Odebrecht and Shelly McCloud (Tom Clemen), and adored grandchildren Jacob Ray, Emma Grace, Abigail Marie Odebrecht, and Emily Behnke. His siblings Sally (Bruce) Wuornos, Patricia (Michael) Harvieux, Paula Potter (Steve Hartmann), and Scott (Lisa) McCloud, as well as God-children Jason Sawyer and Breanna Potter, will forever treasure his memory. Sadly, Tim was preceded in death by his beloved son Adam, mother Dorothy, sister Colleen Lacher, and brother Wayne. His extended family, including numerous nieces, nephews, and friends, mourn his passing.

Tim's legacy is marked by a life full of passion and dedication. He was a Stillwater High School graduate and a lifelong career employee at Andersen Windows, where he was well-regarded for his work ethic and camaraderie. A lifelong Minnesota Vikings fan, Tim's enthusiasm for his team was infectious. He also had an enduring love for rock and roll, often filling his home and neighborhood with classic rock's timeless tunes.

Tim found his greatest joy in life surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He leaves a legacy of love and cherished memories. 

Tim's garage was a hub of community and friendship, always open for a spin of vinyl, discussions about cool cars, or simply sharing a beverage and good conversation. His Christian faith also guided his life.

Tim and his family were deeply honored by LifeSource as the Community Partner of the Year in 2017. This recognition celebrated their passionate support and advocacy for organ and tissue donation, a cause profoundly personal to them, following their son's life-saving organ donations.

Visitation will begin at 4:00 P.M. on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at the Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve Crest Blvd, Stillwater, followed by a Celebration of this Rockstar’s Life at 6:00 P.M.

In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations to LifeSource in his name, a cause that Tim passionately supported. His spirit, generosity, and warmth will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
