Timothy Chaffin
August 26, 1977 - November 19, 2016
Timothy Clark Chaffin, 39,
passed away on the evening of
November 19, 2016 in Grand
Junction, CO. He was a
beloved husband, father,
brother, son, uncle, and friend.
Tim "Timmy" was born on
August 26, 1977, in Fairfield,
Iowa to Charles Ray Chaffin
and Patricia Louise Chaffin.
In no time, he was making
mischief with his older siblings, and soon after, training his
younger siblings in the same playful shenanigans. Although the
family moved often, his happiest childhood memories were
made at the home next to his grandfather’s farm in Iowa. It was a
place of endless hay fields, with wildlife and riverside
adventures aplenty.
As an adult, it is no wonder he settled in western Colorado,
where he was happiest hunting, fishing, camping, and enjoying
the great outdoors with family and friends. It was here that he
welcomed three children, Jeremy, Branden, and Kelly, whom he
loved and adored. It was also here, in Grand Junction, that he
fell in love with Danielle, his devoted wife of seven years.
In 2008 he suffered kidney failure, and in 2010 he received the
gift of a new kidney, donated by his nephew, Michael Chaffin.
He will be remembered for his embellished storytelling, his
playful insults, his love for the children in the family, and the
way he lit up every time a new baby joined the family. The time
he spent rehashing old stories and digging up childhood
memories, whether in the garage, around the campfire, or over
morning coffee with his father, will always be cherished by
those who were privileged to share it.
He is survived by his wife, Danielle; children, Jeremy,
Branden, and Kelly; siblings, Cindy McNamee, Pamela (Wayne)
Murray, Ty (Brandy) Chaffin, Tina (Roger) Weber, Charles
(Amanda) Chaffin, Daniel (Amanda) Chaffin, Juliana (Luke)
Schaefer, and Lance Chaffin, all of the Grand Junction, CO
area; 18 nieces and nephews, nine great-nieces and greatnephews,
and aunt, Wanell (Stan) Olson. He is also survived by
his parents-in-law, Dan and Vickie Johnson; brother-in-law,
Michael (Veronica) Johnson and their child, Colton. He is
survived by several friends that called him "family" and loved
him as a brother.
He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Chaffin; his
mother, Patricia (Clark) Chaffin, and brothers, Walter and
Chucky.

Services will be held on December 17, at 11:00 a.m., at
Callahan-Edfast Mortuary, 2515 Patterson Rd., Grand Junction,
CO 81505.
