Tim was born Oct. 13, 1998, in Burlington, Iowa. He was a senior at Mount Pleasant Community High School. He loved the outdoors, fishing, mowing grass with Dad, helping Dad work on cars, flying kites, tools, Camp Courageous, painting and helping cook (especially Thanksgiving dinner). He enjoyed testing the Christmas lights, helping decorate the tree and making cookies with his sister, Amor. A delight for him was vacuuming, taking long walks in his power chair, riding a four-wheeler, driving a golf cart and, last but not least, he loved music, chair dancing, karaoke and his iPad. Tim also played piano, guitar and enjoyed singing Christmas songs. He also was a student of Tae Kwon Do, ages 10-12.

Timothy is survived by his parents, Lorenzo and Candy Ortiz; siblings, Ricardo, Joshua (Chandler), Jessica, Joana (Marvin), Joseph and Amor; three nieces; three nephews; and numerous aunts and uncles on both sides of his parents.
