Tim was an avid reader – amassing a large collection of print and online books. If he could, he would have been a fulltime student for life.
Tim earned his Private Pilot license in 2019. He loved the freedom and excitement of being up above and flying from town-to-town. It was a dream of his since childhood when he aspired to be an astronaut. He always said when he gained more flight experience, he would volunteer to transport homeless and rescued dogs to shelters and rescue groups in other cities and states. Tim is survived by his wife, Adina Nicole (Niki) Schroeder of 23 years, his parents Ch David Schroeder & Leneva (Dolly) Schroeder, sisters Jeanine Schroeder & Jodelle Prettysoundingfluteswogger, nephew Bailey D Hodges and niece Mae J.

Tim was preceded in death by his grandparents on both sides of the family.
Tim’s philosophy of life was to take one day at a time, find the positive and enjoy the moment. He was strong in faith and often reminded family and friends that “The end goal is what matters”. Tim loved his dogs and is now reunited with his favorite, Cooper.
Tim will be deeply missed by all who loved and knew him. Every year we will celebrate his life with some of his favorite foods/drinks: gummi bears, chips & salsa, Dr. Pepper, Coke, Jack Daniels, crawfish, hot beef jerky and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
