Timothy “Tim” Joseph Loomis, 60, of Dubuque, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 22, 2025, surrounded by his siblings.

Visitation will be from 3:00 pm until 7:00 pm Wednesday, February 26, 2025 at Hoffmann Schneider & Kitchen Funeral Home & Crematory.

The Mass of Christian Burial for Tim will be 11:00 am Thursday, February 27, 2025, at Holy Spirit Parish – Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Steven Garner as the Celebrant. Burial will be in Mount Calvary Cemetery in Dubuque.

Tim was born October 1st, 1964, in Dubuque, IA to Harold and Joyce (Fishler) Loomis.  He was the middle child of five.

Tim graduated from Hempstead High School. He worked at various places over the years, Selco was one stop, but his last stop for 22 years was his favorite as a truck driver for Tucker Trucking.  He loved the people there and they loved him back.  They were very, very good to Tim even after his diagnosis of ALS.

Tim was always there if you needed help. His sense of humor and smile was contagious.  He never complained about all he was going through with ALS, and he was such an inspiration to all those he met.  We will miss his smile and hugs.  He loved the men of TMIY (That Man Is You) and wouldn’t miss a Saturday morning at Holy Spirit Parish.  He loved the Holy Spirit Parish CEW community.  Most importantly he loved our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

He is survived by his daughter, Holly (Skyler) Loomis-Stading of WI; his siblings, Garry (Julie) Redman, Sue (Mike) Polkinghorn, and Mike (Lisa) Loomis, all of Dubuque, and Harold (Donna) Loomis, Jr. of Ferndale, WA; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.

He was preceded in death by his step-son, DJ Peterson, and his parents and grandparents.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Aunt Rose for her countless hours helping Tim after he was diagnosed with ALS.
