Timothy W. Colbert, Sr., 65, Indianapolis, passed away November 26, 2022. Tim was born October 6, 1957, in Princeton, Indiana, to the late Bill J. and Eleanor (Eckiss) Colbert.

Tim graduated from Mooresville High School in 1976. He worked as an electrician for Network Electric since 2008. Tim was a very talented craftsman who could fix just about anything. Described as the handyman of handymen, he was always willing to help his children with their home projects. Tim enjoyed camping, boating, and traveling, especially to the Smokey Mountains and Anna Maria Island in Florida. He and Sharon enjoyed being members of the Z Club and touring in their Nissan throughout Indiana.  While nicknamed “Grumpy Grandpa”, Tim was actually a softy for his grandchildren and loved them immensely. Tim loved his golden retrievers, Reggie & Buddy, and they spent lots of "garage time" together.  He will be fondly remembered for his goofy, yet very likable personality.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Stephen and sister, Susan.

Survivors include his wife, Sharon (Parker) Colbert, to whom he was united in marriage December 15, 1990; children, Ryan (Brittnie) Colbert, Erica (Mark) Smith, Trent (Rebecca) Colbert; Timmy (Madison) Colbert; grandchildren, Gabby, Caleb, Addy, Callun, Opal, Cason, and Honey.
