Timothy Brandt Holcomb, 61 of Marion, died at his home. He was born June 10, 1957 in Marion, the son of Dr. Charles William Holcomb and Barbara Boggs Holcomb. He graduated from North Union High School in 1975 and received a B.S in Marketing and Sales from Miami University in 1979. He was a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity.
Following graduation Tim was employed by American Hospital as a sales representative in West Virginia. American Hospital was later absorbed by Baxter International and he worked for that company for many years. A wry sense of humor and ease in meeting people led to several years as the company’s top salesman. After leaving Baxter he worked with the international organization, Sanofi, as a provider of diagnostic medical equipment. His final employment in the medical field was with Home Care Plus, the largest high-tech infusion provider in Indiana at that time.
Tim had two great joys in his life: his daughters that he loved dearly and a love of flying. He soloed in 1986 and took every opportunity in past years to spread his wings. He enjoyed all outdoor sports, especially ones that required a little skill and a little daring, like skydiving and parasailing. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and was skilled at both.
Tim was preceded in death by his father, Dr. Charles William Holcomb. He is survived by his mother, Barbara Boggs Holcomb, Richwood; his two daughters, Jennifer (Chad) Vilas, Jacksonville, Florida and Cory Holcomb, Zionsville, Indiana; a brother, Dr. James (Catalina Bazacliu) Holcomb, Augusta Georgia; three sisters, Ann Holcomb, New York City; Sally (Joseph) Wiley, Richwood; Mary (Michael) Price, Richwood; and several nieces and nephews.
In deference to Tim’s wishes, there will be no visiting hours. A private family service will be held at a later date. Pastor Joseph Rhea will assist the family. Burial will be in the Sutton Cemetery, Sutton, West Virginia.
Memorial gifts may be made to North Union Athletic Boosters, 401 N. Franklin Street, Richwood, OH 43344.
The family is being assisted by Stofcheck-Ballinger Funeral Home, Richwood. Condolences and remembrances may be expressed at www.stofcheck-ballinger.com
