HARTY
Timothy Raymond

September 6, 1954 - August 22, 2023

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Timothy Raymond Harty on August 22, 2023 at the age of sixty-eight. Tim was born in Lethbridge and was surrounded by a close and loving extended family. The family moved to Rumsey when he was a young boy, but eventually, Red Deer became his home. Tim’s outgoing personality allowed him to make many life-long friends wherever he lived or travelled. Tim had many interests and his employment reflected this. He worked on the oil rigs for a couple of summers, then decided to attend the SAIT Culinary program. He then moved on to A.G.T/ Telus for over twelve years, owned his own Eavestroughing company, and for the last six years he worked for the Commissionaires in Red Deer. Tim loved to travel and explore and if he did not have a means of transportation, he had no issues with going to the highway and hitching a ride. Tim had a good heart and was very friendly to everyone. He volunteered at the Mustard Seed, giving assistance in many ways, and was willing to help anyone who was down on their luck. He was predeceased by both of his parents, Ben and Margaret Harty, and his niece Chelsea-Serpentini Harty. Tim is survived by his brothers and sister, Terry (Toni) Harty, Jordan Harty, Jocelyn (Dean) Will, Mitch (Jen) Harty, and many nieces and nephews. Church services will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church (6 McMillan Avenue Red Deer, AB, T4N 5X8) on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 at 11:00 am. A gathering in the church hall to follow. If anyone wishes to donate in memory of Tim, we ask that it be to the Kidney Foundation of Canada or the Mustard Seed.

He then worked for the Department of Transportation in Alberta until he retired.
Rick loved working on family history, camping, hiking and in the last few years riding his E-bike all over town. He was also a good handyman and fixed the many things that Karen broke.
Rick was honored to serve in the Cardston Alberta Temple in the years leading up to his death. He loved working in the temple and was proud that all of his children had gone to the temple.
In his later years, his love for his wife, children and grandchildren grew exponentially. The day before his death, he expressed his love for them and how very special they were to him. They are his legacy. He will be greatly be missed by all who knew him.
