Timothy Giles Winch, age 66, died just after midnight on Thursday, May 25th. He died held in the arms of his wife Christina and his three children, Tanya, Sam & Adam. He died in the comfort of his home. Timothy was an optometrist at Shopko Optical in Fond Du Lac for the past 18 years. He was preceded in death by his parents Samuel and Winifred Winch. He is survived by his wife Christina V. Winch, his daughter, Tanya Winch, his son and daughter-in-law, Sam & Heidi Winch, his son Adam Winch and his grandsons Caleb & Elijah Winch.

As importantly, he is survived by the warmest, most loving extended family of aunts & cousins that a man could have. Timothy was blessed with a clan of family that he and all of the family still living are humbled and grateful to be a part.

Timothy left a wonderful legacy of musical composition, which includes love songs and songs of worship and praise, and a legacy of Ginko trees and beautiful gardens planted across Wisconsin. Tim worked hard and loved his work. His fortitude brought encouragement, shelter, and perseverance to his family and friends. His creativity brought soul and deep tenderness. He celebrated Jesus unapologetically. He knew he was not alone. He is at peace with God – rejoicing. We love him most dearly.
