Timothy Collins, 66, passed away on August 12, 2020, surrounded by the love and comfort of his family. He was born in Des Moines, Iowa, on December 18, 1953, the son of Harley and Dorothy Collins.
Tim graduated from Indianola High School. His first job was working as a soda jerk at Corner Sundry in Indianola. Tim then worked as a baker for HyVee where he met his wife, Rebecca.

Tim worked many years for my folks at the Corner Sundry. I have so many memories working with Tim, one is he wore bibs most of the time. It was never dull working with him.
Rhea, and family, we are all thinking of you today. Our deepest sympathy, The McIntyre's

With deepest condolences to Tim's family. While I did not know him well (I am a longtime friend of his sister, Rhea), I know that he was loved by his family. Godspeed.

Tim was really something else. I went to the Corner Sundry daily if not more. It was always fun to talk with him. A funny guy, always made me laugh. We reconnected just this last year via Facebook. He was one fun loving guy. Loved his family and furry babies.
Im so SORRY for your loss. Thinking & sending hugs!! Love yous
