Obituary

Timothy Randolph Rich, age 62 of Shasta Lake, CA died December 5, 2019, in Goodyear, AZ. He was born August 14, 1957, in San Francisco, CA, the oldest of three sons born to Douglas and Marjorie Rich. He grew up in Redding, CA and graduated from Enterprise High School in 1976. He continued his vocational training and received his C-38, California Refrigeration Contractor License.

Curious and intelligent, Timothy and his brothers provided a challenge for their parents to raise. The traits that were so challenging as a teenager became some of his greatest strengths as he matured. He had a mischievous sense of humor that would garner either appreciation or frustration, depending on the situation. He loved to socialize and was often the life of the party. An excellent listener, his genuine interest in others endeared him to a diverse group of friends.

A consummate outdoorsman, he enjoyed fishing, camping, and gold mining. He loved to travel and would immerse himself in the history of where he was visiting, often reading all he could from books and the internet to fully understand a place and time. He was a collector.   Historical items, things that captured his imagination, and equipment that he could recycle were all part of his collection.

Timothy is survived by his partner, Georgia McNeil, who loved and supported him, especially through his illness; and brothers, Jeffrey and Patrick Rich. He was preceded in death by his parents, Marjorie and Douglas Rich. A memorial service will be held at a time and place yet to be determined. The family suggests that donations be made to the Cancer Treatment Center of America, Goodyear, AZ. Condolences for the family may be left below.
