Timothy Apolinar Aranda Sr. passed away unexpectedly on May 13 2026. Born June28th, 1966. Preceded in death by his son Nicholas T. Aranda and father Robert Aranda.

 Survived by his mom Viola Aranda,spouse Judy M.

Tim worked beginning at a very young age to help support his family. He worked masonry and construction for more then 35 years and many other jobs before that. He loved classic cars, his oldies music, and loved to eat. His sense of humor was what he was known for, he had the best jokes, nick names, and stories. His love for his family was very strong, he worked hard and went above and beyond for them no matter what. Those that knew him loved him and those that briefly knew him felt like they've known him for years. 

He always took care of others before himself and was a very humble man. We are going to miss him tremendously. He will forever be in our hearts.
