Timothy lived a life defined by service, first as a Navy SEAL and later as a dedicated firefighter and EMT. He served with the Harris Fire Department and Lino Lakes Fire Department before joining the St. Paul Fire Department, where he continued his strong commitment to protecting others and serving his community with pride. Outside of work, he was deeply devoted to his family and, at times, cared for as many as 12 dogs. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, trapping, and farming. Timothy will be deeply missed by his wife, Andrea Bertz, and by the many family members, friends, and colleagues whose lives he touched.
