Timothy M. "Tim" Abraham's Obituary
Timothy M. “Tim” Abraham, age 58, passed away on Friday, July 12, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on December 26, 1965, to George “Michael” Abraham and Paula “Polly” Fitzpatrick in Long Beach, CA. In his earlier years, they made their way to Muskegon, MI which Tim called home all his life. He graduated from Muskegon High School class of 1983, Go Big Reds! Tim dedicated many years to Engine Power Components where he worked for 20 years, before joining his family business at Sign Cabinets. He met the love of his life, Nenette DeRoo, and together they cherished 14 years full of love, laughter and many camping trips. Tim’s happy place was Mystery Creek Campgrounds, where he enjoyed all nature had to offer with his many friends. He was an all-around Michigan sports fan, rooting for the Tigers, Lions and Red Wings! He had a passion for hockey and was a season ticket holder for numerous years for the Muskegon Lumberjacks. Tim will be most remembered for having a heart of gold even though he was “rough around the edges.” He was generous and always willing to lend a helping hand. Above all, he loved the time spent with his family. Tim was a wonderful son, loving partner, amazing brother, and doting uncle, pops and grandpa. Tim will truly be missed by many. He is survived by his stepmom, Nancy Abraham; better half, Nenette DeRoo; two brothers, Patrick (Lisa) Abraham and Michael Abraham; niece, Olivia Abraham; nephew; Ryan Abraham; daughter, Elizabeth (Jon) Smith; and granddaughter, Talia (Luke) Wilson.
