Timothy J. Goebel, age 63, of Kissimmee, Florida lost his final battle with cancer on Monday, July 23, 2012 at 6:57 a.m. Tim was a construction superintendent for Hardin Construction, LLC. Prior to that he worked for Skanska USA Building Inc., Gray Construction Co. Inc., A.D. Arnold Co., and Ruby Builders. Tim was passionate about racing and was an avid fisherman. During his final months, he enjoyed fishing with his grandson, Jager, whom he affectionately referred to as “the bass master.”
Tim loved life, and those blessed to know him knew just how much. Tim loved his family, anything to do with cars, fishing, and just a good old debate with someone about anything! He might act upset or aggravated at someone or something, but he never really was and never held a grudge. We were blessed to have known him.
Tim and his wife, Sharon, spent 17 happy years together. In addition to Sharon, Tim leaves behind his parents, James (Joan) Goebel of Temperance, Michigan and Patricia Paupard of Hobe Sound, Florida; his daughter, Carrie (Mike) Hammer of Gulf Breeze, Florida; his step-children, Sharroll (Paul) Fanslau of Pembroke, Georgia, Doug (Becky) Macks of Kissimmee, Florida, Tracey (Robert) Nelson of Tampa, Florida, and Andy (Jennifer) Macks of Billings, Montana.

He also leaves behind his four-legged best friend, Rufus.
Tim also leaves behind 3 brothers, Mark (Anne Cremar) Goebel of Maumee, Ohio, Chris (Melissa Zeilinski) Goebel of Erie, Michigan, and Scott Goebel of Hobe Sound, Florida; a sister, Laura (Rick Flum) McClure of Morrisville, Pennsylvania; two aunts, Nancy (and the late Donald “Bud”) Feak of Ft.
