Tim was born January 12, 1959, in Sterling, IL, the son of James Kophamer and Diana (Lutz) Kophamer. He spent his life working as a Millwright, employed by Sterling Steel Company (SSC), and as a farmer. Tim could be found barefoot in his garden, working in his woodshop, or having a good laugh with his children and grandchildren.

He survived by his wife, Cathy (Meiners) Kophamer; father, James Kophamer; siblings Mark (Sharon) Kophamer, Kathryn (Dan) Hubbard, Joan (Tom) Wear, Amy (Joe) Robbins; children, Adam (Maja) Kophamer, Eric (Ashley) Kophamer, and Ashley (Levi) Lewis; eight grandchildren, Brandt, Ethan, Jase, Wyatt, Hannah, Ella, Lane, and Leonora.

Tim’s life will be celebrated in a small family gathering, with a final resting place at Oak Knoll Cemetery in Sterling, IL.

In lieu of flowers or Visitation, the family asks for you to donate to St. Jude Children’s Hospitals.

Tim’s contagious laughter and smile will live on in the spirit of his family and friends.
