Timothy Robert Groby, of Maiden Rock, died unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, January 24, 2015. He had just celebrated his 57th birthday one week prior, on January 17th. Born in 1958 to Leonard and Phyllis (Grunklee) Groby, he graduated from Pine Island High School in 1976. For most of Tim's life, he was a dairy farmer, and a pretty good one at that. He raised four daughters, and was pretty good at that too, though at times the girls may have thought he was fonder of his dairy cows, he was definitely a family-man. Yes, even more than fishing (his favorite pastime) he loved spending time with his family, which has been ever growing with the addition of his adored grandchildren.
Tim was a hard-working, humble and honest father and person. "Our father didn't tell us how to live, he lived and let us watch him do it".
He will be dearly missed by his four loving daughters, Heather (David Kleinschmidt) Groby, Tiffany (Levi) Nugent, Cassie (Brandon) Strain and Kyley (Jon) Lindholm; grandchildren, Damian Binner, Kaleb Walter, Gage Befort, Allie and Kaden Kleinschmidt, Johanna and Beau Strain and baby boy Lindholm; his siblings, Susan, Mike, Tom, and Jeff (Kali) Groby and a sister-in-law, Jo Groby.
He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Jim Groby.
A celebration of Tim's life will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Thursday, January 29, at Mahn Family Funeral Home, Bodelson-Mahn Chapel, with a time of sharing your favorite "Tim Groby" story beginning at 7 p.m.
