On August 10, 2009, Timothy Paul Mellish gloriously rose to meet his precious Lord and Savior as his name was called. No more pain from the cruel and elusive lymphoma that plagued his body. Tim rose on eagles wings. Tim was born on December 2, 1953, in Owosso, MI, to John and Joyce Mellish. At age 17 he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and proudly served 4 years. He graduated from Southern Nazarene University in 1981 and settled in the OKC area. He spent all of his professional career as a salesman; 23 years in the sale of paper goods. His favorite greeting was, Hi, Im Tim. I sell toilet paper. While at SNU he met and married Nona-Sue White. On June 30, they celebrated 30 years of true wedded bliss. Tim loved being Dad to John, now married to Amy; and Jamie, now married to David Graham. Jamie and David are expecting Tims first grandson in mid-September. Tim was brother to Sandi, John, Teri and Deb, and is cherished by a large extended family and numerous friends. Tim had the amazing ability to make anyone laugh in any situation. He enjoyed golfing, antique shopping with his wife, being a greeter at church, was quite the prankster and absolutely loved haggling for a good bargain. Visitation will be Thursday, 9am-9pm, with the family receiving guests from 6:30-8:30pm at Mercer-Adams. On Friday, August 14, 2009, at 2:00 p.m., we will gather at Tims home church, Lake View Park Church of the Nazarene, 3500 NW 50th Street in Oklahoma City, to truly celebrate a life well lived. Memorials may be made to Lake View Park Church of the Nazarene. To share a memory or condolence, visit www.mercer-adams.com
