Timothy Stuck

Timothy Lee Stuck, 66, of Gaylord, passed away peacefully on April 19, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on October 27, 1959, in Omaha, Nebraska, and throughout his life, he built not only a career, but a legacy defined by hard work, strong values, and a deep love for those around him.

Timothy spent many dedicated years working in the construction industry, where he took pride in his craftsmanship and work ethic. However, those who knew him best understood that his greatest accomplishments were found outside of work-in the life he built with his family and the memories he created along the way.

He had a passion for the simple joys in life. Whether it was riding his motorcycle on an open road, spending hours woodworking, or heading out to the lake to fish, Timothy found peace and happiness in the outdoors. When winter came, he looked forward to hunting season, embracing the quiet and tradition it brought.

Above all, Timothy treasured time spent with family. He loved gathering everyone together to play cards, share stories, and enjoy good food. He was especially known for his barbecuing, taking great pride in making his ribs for family and friends. Music was always part of the atmosphere, with his love for rock and roll adding energy and warmth to those moments. His smile, unmistakable and genuine, left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Timothy was a devoted husband, a caring father, and a proud grandfather. He found immense joy in his grandchildren and cherished every moment he was able to spend with them. His presence, guidance, and sense of humor will be deeply missed but forever remembered.

He is survived by his loving wife, Donna Stuck of Gaylord; his daughter, Brandy Huffman (Stuck); his sons, Christopher and Charles Stuck of Mancelona, Dwayne Slaugh of Charlevoix, and Dustin Hiler of Gaylord; and his daughter, Merina Stuck of Florida. He also leaves behind 16 grandchildren who will carry on his memory, his sister Charlene Palmares (Stuck) of Surprise, Arizona, his brother Otto Stuck of Glendale, Arizona, and many nieces and nephews who loved him dearly.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles Albert and Ellen Lucille Stuck, and his brothers, Chuck and Tom Stuck.

Timothy will be remembered for his strength, his kindness, his sense of humor, and the love he gave so freely. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the family he cherished, and the countless memories that will continue to bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.
