Timothy “Tim” Patrick Tyree was born on October 23, 1944, to Walter Gilman Tyree and Esther Aida Tyree in the city of Los Angeles.  Tim and his brother George grew up in San Gabriel California.

Tim served in the USN aboard the USS Kitty Hawk from 1966 to 1968 during the Viet Nam War. After being discharged, Tim joined his brother George at the Los Angeles Police Dept. Tim was assigned to several divisions throughout his career as well as being assigned to the LAPD Swat Team for 13 years. Tim received numerous commendations throughout his 31-year career and retired as a Sergeant 2 in Southwest division as a night Watch Commander.

Tim was proceeded in death by his father, mother, his only sibling George, and our daughter Christine Elliott. Tim leaves behind his wife of 33 ½ years Jean Tyree; his children Timothy W. Tyree and his wife Meg and their son Alex; Michiel Logan and her husband Hector and their children, Alyssa, Taylor, Hannah and Christian; Rebecca Tyree and her husband Mike and their children, Brenden, Jada, Caden, Kylie and Malia; Christine’s children, Justine, Christian, his wife Alisa and their son Jude.

Tim and Jean lived in Diamond Bar California until they moved to Garden Valley Idaho; then, to Meridian and finally the house they had built in Kuna, Idaho. Tim fought many battles with his health and with God’s help recovered from many situations where he was told he would not survive. None can doubt his toughness through life, and how he never complained no matter what the health problem was.
Tim recognized his need to make things right with God, so several years ago he accepted Christ as his personal Savior and went on to be baptized in water to affirm his commitment to the Lord. Tim went home to be with the Lord on May 1, 2024. Tim died at home where he was surrounded by family and friends who loved him and will miss him.
