Timothy Yoakum

Timothy C. Yoakum, 59, of Butler passed away in the comfort of his home on Sunday afternoon, April 18, 2021.

Born in Natrona Heights, on May 22, 1961, he was the son of Etha “Cookie” Payne Wolfe and the late David C. Yoakum.

Tim had been an electrician by trade.

He loved hunting, fishing, spending time with family and friends and listening to the Grateful Dead. Tim was the kind of person who would give you the tie-dyed shirt off his back.

Kennedy (Lori) of Mars and Daelyn Pronesti of Butler, and many nieces and nephews.

He was also preceded in death by a sister, Mary Kay Yoakum.
