I am deeply saddened to hear of Tim’s passing. He was a kind and gentle soul who had a profound impact on my life. I will always be grateful for the time he took to listen to my personal concerns and for the encouragement he gave me when I faced challenges in my church calling. His leadership in the Stake Presidency was a source of strength and guidance.
When I lost my husband, Tim’s support and wisdom were invaluable. He not only helped me navigate financial matters but also provided my family with sound advice that brought us peace of mind. His generosity and care touched so many lives, and I feel blessed to have known him.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the love of those around you and in the lasting impact of Tim’s remarkable life.
With deepest sympathy,

From Crystal Hobza:
Tim was such a blessing to the Dille family. He was such an amazing kind man. Anyone who knew him, knew he was a true man of our Heavenly Father. Devoted to his family and the Church. He will always remain my most favorite Bishop. My grandparents, Lewis and Edith Dille, had such a great love for Tim! I remember Tim coming to give each of them, and me, a blessing during a trying time for our family. I could feel our Savior's love, enveloping us like a protective blanket, comforting us when we most needed it. I know that my grandparents were there to greet Tim and help him transition to the other side. My heart goes out to Renee and the family. May Heavenly Father bring you peace and comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Crystal Hobza

Words can never express the love we have for the Preston family. The lessons Tim taught me about our Savior, Jesus Christ are intended within my soul. So kind and soft spoken. But he taught by example. That speaks so much louder than words. I'm grateful to have been able to serve with him in callings. What he and Renee have given to my family and so many others are blessings. Now our prayers are for them to see the way thru this trial. We love the Preston family and pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort them.
