Timothy David Pinnegar, 62 of Taylor, Michigan passed away unexpectedly on January 16, 2021.

Tim is survived by his faithful loving wife of 43 years, Sissy (Williams) Pinnegar, his daughter, his true pride and joy, Courtney (Pinnegar) Britt, his son-in-law who he really considered as his son, Jason Britt, his grandsons, the hooligans, Jace 13, Cash 9, Cade 6, Cole 5 weeks and his sweet precious granddaughter Oakley 1. He is also survived by, his mother, Carol Pinnegar, his sister, Caryn (Steve) Hoffman and his brother, Joel (Kai) Pinnegar. He was preceded in death by his father, L.C. Pinnegar and his grandson, Jobe Britt.

Tim graduated from Melvindale High School in 1976, married the love of his life in 1977, and started his 41 plus year career at Marathon Petroleum, Detroit Refinery in 1979. As a 20 year 'kid' with his cowboy boots on, he walked through the gates of Marathon knowing little about refining and quickly learned the process. Operating his unit, became his passion and he performed his job to the very best of his ability. Tim prided himself on mentoring new employees, making sure they learned the job well, and always looked out for the safety of others. Tim's goal each day, was that everyone made it through their shift and was able to return home safely to their family. In June 2008, after spending 29 years in Operations Tim transferred to the Procurement Department, where he spent the last 12 1/2 years of his career. Again, Tim prided himself on safety and procedures and used his vast knowledge and experience from Operations to ensure the appropriate materials and parts were released back out into the refinery. His work ethic, care for others, camaraderie with his refinery family, willingness to help, sense of humor, amazing story telling skill and love for what he did was recognized by everyone who had the opportunity to work with him.

Outside of work, what brought Tim the greatest joy, was his family. He and Sissy met at church camp, when they were young teens. Their paths crossed again a couple years later when Sissy's family joined the church Tim grew up at. In 1976, they started dating and were married 11 months later. Tim and Sissy often joked that they were two crazy kids who fell madly in love and "finished raising each other" the first three years of their marriage. In November 1980 they welcomed their one and only, a daughter, their true pride and joy, Courtney Nicole. Tim always said he wanted 10 boys, and quickly changed his mind in the delivery room, he threw up his hands and said, "God, we're even!". Tim was a dedicated husband and father and always believed his quiver was full. He would say, some quivers hold 10 arrows and his only needed to hold 1. His philosophy changed when Courtney married Jason and they blessed him with 6 beautiful grandchildren. Nothing made Tim happier than when he was with his family. If you spent any time at all with Tim, you would quickly hear a story or two about one or all of them.

Tim's love language was serving others and nothing pleased him more than when he could care and cook for anyone and everyone around him. He never knew how to fix just one thing, he had to prepare and cook like he was feeding a small army. Always plenty to choose from and more than enough to go around. Not only did Tim cook big, he also loved big. Tim lived a simple life and lived by his favorite verse, Mark 12:30-31. He used to say, "Don't over complicate things, love God. Love His people. It's that simple!". Tim did, just that.

Tim has left an incredible legacy! He was able to witness his three oldest grandsons coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus. His bond with his grandchildren was like no other. He was involved with their every day life and did all he could to instill in them a love for God, a love for family and a love for others.

Tim will be greatly missed by all who knew him, he was loved by so many and made a huge impact in the lives of those around him. As sad as we are, we take comfort in knowing when he left this earth, a 62 year old God fearing man, with his cowboy boots on walked through the gates of Heaven.
