Timothy Foster, age 70 passed away on August 28, 2025, in Toledo, Ohio. He was born on March 25, 1955, to late Roosevelt and Willie V. Foster. Timothy, affectionately known as Tim, accepted Christ at a very young age, and his love for God, his love for his family, and his church was evident in the way he loved. He was a friend to all and an enemy to none. In 2004, Tim was blessed to marry his devoted wife, Shirley, with whom he shared 21 years.

A faithful servant, Tim was a dedicated member of Grace Temple, Church of Grace, under the leadership of Bishop Chester Trail. In 2024, he was ordained as a Deacon, an honor he cherished deeply.

Tim's greatest joys was spending time with his family and friends. He was avid bowler, enjoyed time at the Hunt Senior Center, bowling in the Wii league, shooting pool, and working out. He also found strength and fellowship in attending AA Meetings (Dawn Buster's and Early Bird). He regularly spoke to men on Thursdays and Saturdays along side his brother's Jimmie, Roc and Blake.

He leaves to cherish his memory: his loving wife Shirley; his children; Tamika Foster, Keisha Ridley, Dewaun Clayborne, Krystale Foster, Shardae (Kenneth) James; his sisters; Brenda Leake, Linda Fuller, Valerie (Gregory) Mathis, Verna Foster, Wanda Foster, Sandra (Doland) Brown; 29 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Best friend, Renard and his cousin Ted.
