Timothy Ferman Adrian, age 83, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 31, 2024, in Saginaw, MI. He was born on June 27, 1941, in West Branch, MI, to Alva and Viola (Kennedy) Adrian. Tim was a proud graduate of West Branch High School, a foundation that would support him throughout his remarkable life. He lived in West Branch his entire life.
Tim dedicated over 50 years of his life to welding, becoming a valued member of the PIBF Local 798. His commitment to his work was only matched by his involvement with the Masonic Lodge, where he developed lasting friendships and contributed to the community, he held dear. His expertise and unwavering dedication in his career earned him the respect of many in the trade, and his legacy will be felt by those who follow in his footsteps.
An engaging storyteller, Tim had a unique ability to bring any gathering to life with his tales, leaving listeners both entertained and inspired. He found great joy in the simple pleasures of life—especially his deep love for family. Tim relished the moments spent on Christmas vacations with his grandchildren, creating memories that they will forever treasure.
Beyond family, Tim had passions that filled his days with joy. He loved the thrill of riding his Harley motorcycle, the freedom of traveling in his RV, and the satisfaction of mowing the lawn with his Kubota. Each moment reflected his zest for life and his appreciation for the outdoors.
He is survived by his daughter Colleen (Dan) Brown and son Patrick Adrian, grandchildren Justin Brown and Brandon Brown and beloved honey, Sally Kelly and bonus daughters Brenda, Kim, Tamara, and Kelly.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2025.
Memorial contributions can be made to the Masonic Lodge.
As we remember Timothy Ferman Adrian, we celebrate a life well-lived—a life marked by hard work, deep familial bonds, and countless stories that have left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew him.
