On April 14, 1959, in Princeton MN, Tim was born the second of eight children to parents, Larry and Jeanne (Hanson) Moses. Raised in Big Lake until the age of 9, Tim’s family then moved to South Minneapolis. He attended and graduated from West High School in 1977. Tim enjoyed playing community sports and was an exceptional athlete.
Life for Tim was all about family. He relished being a husband and father. In January of 1983, he married his high school sweetheart, Sharon Trout. They were truly blessed with six beautiful children, Amber, Zachariah, Azure, Zephaniah, Ariel, and Zedekiah. As a family, they enjoyed vacationing at his dad’s cabin. Many memories were created together snowmobiling, grilling, sitting by bonfires, visiting the local attractions and just being together. Tim also treasured the simple times as a dad and grandpa, going out to lunch, watching TV and especially spending time with his grandchildren. Tim had a great sense of humor.
Tim learned the trade of a Master Electrician. He worked 10 plus years at Mettler Electric and then for over 20 years was the owner and operator of A-Z Electric. A company named after his children.
A huge sports fan, Tim spent countless hours watching and cheering on the Minnesota Vikings, Timberwolves, Twins, and Wild/North Stars. He also loved watching NASCAR and playing golf with family and friends. In 1999, Tim was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy, but through it all, he preserved.
