WESTFIELD – Timothy M. Pike, a Decorated Vietnam Veteran, passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on July 5th, 2024. Son of Harold and Gilberta Pike.
He is survived by his older brother Harold “Buddy” Pike, Jr. and younger brother and best friend Daniel Pike. Tim also leaves behind his six children: Seth, April, Erin, Ryan, Timothy II (Jennifer), and Matthew – along with all of his loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Tim was 72 years old and would have been celebrating his 73rd birthday on July 25th. He will be remembered as a compassionate and intelligent person who brought laughter to anyone he met. As a well-spoken and humble man, many were proud to call him their friend.
In his younger years Tim enjoyed riding his motorcycles, all things computers and tech, and found himself a natural athlete. He owned a company and was a Class A Machinist where he made experimental parts and components for the U.S. military, several medical facilities, and general application machining. There is no limit to his hobbies, which included history, science, literature and more. He will be truly missed by all.
