Tim was born on June 11, 1955, the son of the late Paul and Evelyn (Hince) Prudhomme. He was raised on the family farm outside of Crookston, MN, and graduated from Crookston High School in 1974. After high school, he went to work for Crystal Sugar for as a welder and mechanic for over 37 years until the lockout. He then went to work as header mechanic for Titan until he had to retire in August 2019 due to health, however, he would still go and help them whenever they called and needed him. Tim had a work ethic that was second to none. He took pride in providing for his family and put his entire heart into his work. There was no such thing as giving anything less than 200% effort on any and all things.
Tim was married to Carrie Walker on July 2, 1977, at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Gentilly, MN. They made their home in Crookston, MN, where they raised their 3 daughters, Dana, Andrea, and Jenna. Tim was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, cherishing any moment he could have with his family. There is nothing greater on this earth he treasured more than his six beautiful grandchildren. He loved to teach them, spoil them, tease them, rock and snuggle them, and share his love for the outdoors with them.
In his free time, he was an outdoor enthusiast, whether it was riding his Harley, water skiing, camping, snowmobile riding, golfing, or working on his yard. Tim loved helping others in any way he could. There’s no one he would turn down and would go to great lengths to offer a helping hand. His selfless heart, love for conversation and people, incredible work ethic and love for the Lord are some major characteristics he will be remembered by. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
