Father, son, husband, brother, grandfather, friend, coach-- these are just a few of the incredibly important roles that Tim has played in each of our lives.
Timothy Blinn Duffey, born November 28, 1957, in Houston TX, passed away in his home on December 6, 2021, after a brave and hard battle with cancer. He graduated from St. Thomas High School and later attended Stephen F. Austin and received his Bachelor of Science degree in forestry. While working at a local copy company in West University, Houston, Tim met the love of his life, Shanna. They went on to have two children, Tyler Blinn and Travis Allen.
Tim held so much pride for his boys-- Tyler who started out playing at Rice University and has now become a successful pitcher for the Minnesota Twins, and Travis who graduated with honors and an engineering degree from The University of Houston.
For 25 years, Tim excelled in his position as an Environmental Investigator for Harris County Pollution Control until he reached retirement at the age of 58. From Westbury Little League, to Bellaire baseball, and everything in between, Tim had a never ending passion for helping anyone and everyone who needed it.
Tim also was an adoring son whose day started and ended with making sure that his mom (Grandma Duff) had everything that she needed. In April of 2020, Tim was filled with overwhelming joy as he became a grandpa to Teddy Blinn.
Tim loved serving and was very active in his community at Corpus Christi Catholic Church. He walked by faith, prayed daily, and always gave the glory to God.
Tim touched countless lives through the years, and we are so grateful for the love he has shown us all.
Tim was preceded in death by his wife Shanna Duffey, and father, Donald Blinn Duffey. He is survived by sons Tyler Duffey and wife Sarah; Travis Duffey and wife April; grandson Teddy Blinn Duffey; mother Jeanne Duffey Walker; sister Gayle Lee Jackson; uncle James William Walling; niece Marieka Gilpatrick; cousin Kathleen Burnham; and brothers-in-law Jeff and Greg Shields.
