Timothy "Tim" David Edgley

Timothy “Tim” David Edgley of Merrill, Michigan

Beloved son, brother, soul mate, uncle, cousin, and friend passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, in Saginaw, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was 42 years old. Tim was born on October 7, 1978, in Saginaw, Michigan, to Bonnie L. Edgley and Brian Grunwell. He was a 1996 graduate of Merrill High School. Following graduation, Tim attended Delta College to pursue a career in architecture, but his free spirit and adventurous soul led him on journeys to Texas and Florida, where he made many friends along the way. Once settled back home in Michigan, Tim worked for Glastender in Saginaw. Tim was a talented artist, singer, song writer, and entertainer by nature. He was always the life of the party. Tim was as honest as the day is long. His loyal, loving character gave him the innate ability to connect with all people, soul to soul. Tim was the best big brother and friend who adored his brother, Jake, throughout his life. Growing up, Tim was a pillar of strength, a protective hero, and a cherished caregiver who included Jake in many adventures. He will forever be remembered for his million-dollar smile, being the best hugger, his excellent wit and sense of humor, his ability to entertain family and friends, and most fondly for his magnetic personality.

Tim is survived by his soul mate, Shannon Ross and her daughter, Kamryn, who he loved as his own; loving mother and best friend, Bonnie Rowley; brother, Jacob (Sarah Jo) Rowley; adoring nephew and niece, Siler and Sawyer Rowley. In addition, Shannon’s family who became his own, her parents, Bruce and Lori Newvine; Shannon’s brother, Jordan (Kolina) Ward, and their children, Kaleigh and Bentley; Shannon’s two sisters and brother, Julie, Kimberly, and Marcus along with their families.

Also surviving are father and friend, Brian Grunwell, many cherished cousins, family, and countless friends.
He was preceded in death by his dad, Doug Rowley; and an uncle, Mark Edgley.
