BEDOUR: Timothy Gerrard of Mitchell

The world has lost a wonderful father, giving brother and caring friend.  Suddenly at his home in Mitchell on Sunday, June 19, 2016 at the age of 55. Proud father to Tyler, Katelyn and Joshua, and best friend of Benji. Missed by the children’s mother Rita Bedour.   Dear brother to Susan (Pat), Stephen (Laurie), Carolyn (Joe), Dan, Patti Ann (Charlie). Cherished friend to Shannon Vaughan. Loving uncle to many nieces and nephews. Sadly missed by many cousins and the Denomme family.   Predeceased by his parents Theodore and Gloria Bedour.

Friends may call at the Haskett Funeral Home, 49 Goshen Street North, Zurich on Thursday 2-4 and 7-9 PM.   Prayers will be said in the funeral home on Thursday afternoon at 3:00 PM. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Boniface Roman Catholic Church, 22 Mary Street, Zurich on Friday, June 24th at 11 AM with Father Matthew George presiding.  Cremation with interment St. Boniface Cemetery, Zurich at a later time.

Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be greatly appreciated by the family.

His heart might have given up on him in the real world, but there is no one going to heaven with a bigger heart than Tim.

Rest in peace, we are going to miss you.

    We are deeply saddened and shocked to hear of Tim’s passing. We just connected with him at Mitchell Loves Michelle, after many years of not seeing him. I can truly say, some things never change. Tim was his old self, joking and laughing and having a good time. Steve played ball with Tim for many years and we have many fond memories of ball parties. Our hearts go out to the Bedour family. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. He will truly be missed.

    Dear Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May “the God of all comfort” help you cope during this difficult time of sorrow… (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) And may his promises found in his word the Bible give you a hope for the future regarding your dead loved ones. The following link will take you to a tract entitled, Can the Dead Really Live Again? It has brought many comfort and I hope it will do the same for you during your time of loss. tinyurl.com/mezwv23

    Tim was a big part of our 3 little girls childhood. We were so lucky to have found Rita when Avery was just 6 months old. And let’s be honest she was their second mother for a large part of their lives. Tim would often greet us at the door with a smile and a little comment about how the day had gone, he would often be teasing them about something silly.
    Our heart breaks for you all. Rest in peace Tim. Tyler, Katelyn, Josh, and Rita you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
