Timothy Edward Hersch, 80, passed away peacefully in his home in Johnstown, CO on March 9, 2023
surrounded by loving family and friends. Tim was born in Cheyenne, WY on January 1, 1943 to Harry
Herman Hersch and Ruth Miriam Rothman Hersch. He attended school in Windsor, Severance and Fort
Collins, Colorado and spent most of his life in northern Colorado.
Tim was a sheet metal worker, spending the last 28 years of his long career with US Engineering
Company in Loveland. He was very proud of his accomplishments, especially his contributions on many
projects including building Medical Center of the Rockies and expansions to Poudre Valley Hospital. He
was a proud member of Sheet Metal Workers Local 9 and this year was honored for 50 years of service
in the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers Union.
Tim had a grand sense of humor and a twinkle in his eye. He was quiet, kind and a generous husband,
father and grandpa. He deeply loved his family, including many special cousins, aunts and uncles. Tim
also loved his friends and adored dogs Katrina and Misty, spending happy hours in their company.
Several dearly loved fur babies are now with him again. He took great pleasure seeing his children and
grandchildren grow up to become happy and accomplished adults. Tim loved animals and nature, his
442 convertible, car shows, rock and roll and the oldies. He was happiest when watching the Denver
Broncos with family, exploring the desert, Southern Utah and Lake Powell. He loved spending winters in
warm places, watching Nascar races, discovering new places to explore and camping with his family and
friends. Tim had recently discovered a new pastime, happy hour axe throwing.
