Tim attended Bishop Kelly High School, then entered the Army. After the Army, he enjoyed traveling, eventually residing in Arizona, Colorado and Texas. His jobs varied from construction in Arizona and Colorado, to a roustabout on an oil rig in Texas. He became a master craftsman: remodeling homes and businesses. His talents to name a few are visible at the Three Island Crossing Interpretive Center in Glenns Ferry, Idaho, custom work at the Kasino Club in Stanley specifically the custom staircase, as well as various projects required by Enlightened Homes LLC of Sun Valley, Idaho. He was generous with his talent and time supporting projects for friend and family; from custom flooring to decks and roofing. Tim could do it all. In 2013 at the age of 53 Tim completed a dream of getting his GED. He was so proud of this accomplishment. Tim loved his family, cooking, NASCAR and Harleys. He loved nature and spent a great deal of time camping, even opting to camp near job sites, sometimes out of necessity other time out of desire. Tim never met a stranger. He was rich in friends, assisting anyone he could with his tool bags in hand, or a strong shoulder to lean on. Tim was preceded in death by his beloved mom; Pam Garton, as well as his maternal and paternal grandparents: O. Lee and Tirzah Paronto, Orville and Bernice Garton, many aunts, uncles and cousins. He is survived by his dad; Robert W Garton, sisters; Bobbie Jo (Rick) Navarro, Jackie Atkins, and Michelle (Brent) Stansell.
