Born on October 11, 1944, at the Deaconess Hospital in Marshalltown, Tim is the son of Carroll and Bette (Davis) Hammond. He grew up in the Conrad area and was a 1962 graduate of the Conrad High School. On October 15, 1961, he was united in marriage to Beverly Jean Schutt in Marshalltown. The couple farmed in the Conrad area for many years before moving to Hereford, TX, where they farmed and raised their four children. In 1991, Tim moved back to the Conrad area and continued farming with his father. He was a member of the Presbyterian faith. He enjoyed horseback riding, hunting, and motorcycling, but he especially enjoyed being with his family and friends – and meeting new people.

He will be missed by his four children: Jeff (Sharon) Hammond of Lubbock, TX, Bob Hammond of Mesquite, TX, Niki Brorman of Big Spring, TX and Debbie Provence of Port Nechus, TX; his mother Bette Hammond of Conrad; his sister, Anita (Tony) Wall of Fullerton, CA; his children’s mother, Beverly Hammond of Colfax, IA; 11 grandchildren; 2 great grandchildren; his nephews and nieces, Eric, Wendi & Dawn; his aunt and uncle, Karen "Peachie" & Larry Pierson of Hubbard, IA; and several cousins.

In eternal life, Tim joins his father, Carroll and his grandparents.
