Timothy Paul Mack, 72, of Burlington, died Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024, in Burlington.
Born Feb. 22, 1952, in Burlington, he was the son of Paul W. and Mary Alice Mack.
After graduating from Burlington High School, Tim was drafted into the U.S. Army. Once his service had concluded, Tim married and began a family in Peoria, Ill. He and his wife, Mary Kay had three more children in Colorado, and later settled in Venice, Florida to raise their children by the Gulf.
In his profession, Tim worked many hardworking years as a project manager and contractor. More importantly to him and his family, he taught his four children good values, kindness, calmness, and to find laughter in life. They also all have fond memories of their dad participating in their sports, either by cheering them on or coaching.
Tim returned to Burlington in 2014 to be closer to his Iowan family. He was a creative tinkerer and could always be found working on one of his various projects, such as his handmade boat or the hoverboard cart that he made and rode with his grandson, Keenan, at Riverside Park. He also enjoyed golfing, boating, and gardening.
Tim was a regular at Jerry's Main Lunch where he loved their kindness and friendship. He could also be found taking in the view by the river.
Family include his four children Corinne (Mark Shepherd) Mack, Leah (Sidney) Roberts, T.J. (Jessica) Mack, and Meredith Mack; former wife and mother of their children Mary Kay Chesna; nine grandchildren, Keenan, Mason, Ellie, Grace, Eliza, Holden, Palmer, Emerson, and Marina; his mother, Mary Alice Mack; two siblings, Paula (Steve) Stoller and Doug Mack; sister-in-law, Mary Mack; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Paul Mack, brother, Dennis Mack, sister-in-law, Theresa Mack, and grandson, Evan Mack.
Cremation has been entrusted to the care of Prugh Crematory.
There will be no formal services but Tim would have liked it if you had a burger in his memory at Jerry's Main.
Please continue to keep Tim's family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
