Mr. Timothy Espinoza

Timoteo Espinoza, also known as Tim, was born in Hanford, California on September 16, 1943. His family moved to San Francisco, California in 1944. Tim died of lung cancer on November 24, 2015 in his mother's home, Aurora Cevallos. He was lovingly attended and cared for by his grandchildren and siblings almost on a daily basis. Tim was a kindhearted man and as such during his lifetime he encountered loyal friendships. It was not unusual to see his close friends by his bedside lovingly caring his needs whether it was shaving him or caring for his family's well being. Tim touched so many lives and each life he touched brought the best out of all of us. Tim had an expanding generosity for his family and his community. He lived in the Mission when his children were growing up and it was not unusual for Tim to sponsor activities in the neighborhood including cooking for all of his children's friends almost on a weekly basis. Tim adored all his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, revered his mother and respected his siblings. He shared his wealth of family and friends with his children; in doing so he taught them the meaning of love and loyalty. He modeled generosity and compassion. It was not unusual to see Tim lending someone in the neighborhood a hand and helping those less fortunate. It came from a sincere motivation to be of service where he could. He prided himself by often saying, "I'm a simple man...", but his concern for others was far from being simple. By profession Tim was a barber. He worked with his oldest brother Richard Espinoza since he was 19 years old. They worked side by side for over 50 years! When Tim's clients were informed of Tim's condition there was a great outpour of calls, flowers, and visits. The calls seemed never ending. These gestures were guided by their affection of him. In fact, most of his clients became lifetime friends. A testament to his good heart. And so, on behalf of your family we adoringly confess that we will miss you, remember you, and always celebrate how you taught us to make memories. With deep respect and affection in memory of the man that was our father, grandfather, brother and son; "we love you as high as the sky and as far as the stars can go!" Timothy Espinoza was survived by: His mother: Aurora Cevallos His siblings: Richard, Alice, Jimmy and predeceased brother Rudy. His children: Tina Marie Gomez, Timo Angelo Espinoza and Ana Sophia Castillo His grandchildren: Carlos Mario Gomez, Eliana Marie Gomez, Celina Marie Gomez, Timo Julian Espinoza, Isabella Alejandra Espinoza, Elena Sophia Davila, Sofia Andrea Castillo-Sanchez and Karina Melida Sofia Castillo-Sanchez His great grandchildren: Issac Timothy Espinoza, Nayelli Sofia Davila and Tavillo Leon Davila
