Timothy W. Deming

Timothy "Tim" Wilmer Deming, age 52 of Bay Port, passed away Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at Covenant Harrison Hospital in Saginaw.
Born July 27, 1959 at Scheurer Hospital in Pigeon, he was the son of Frank H. and Wilma (Squires) Deming. He was a 1977 graduate of Laker High School, and attended Delta College.
Tim owned and operated T&D Sheet Metal business in Bay Port, where he made ventilation systems for General Motors and Ford facilities in addition to building custom trailers. Tim could design and build anything - "show him a picture, he could build it!"
Tim began his racing career at Thunder Road; after that he raced at Owendale Speedway. He drove coupe and street stock, and ended his racing career with Auto Value Super Sprints, traveling throughout the Midwest and Canada, where he was known as "Dr. Scary Fast." He loved to go fast whenever he could.
Tim enjoyed muskrat trapping, hunting, and fishing. He enjoyed playing blackjack. He was a good brother and would help anyone anytime, including his racing competitors. He loved his sons and would spoil them whenever he had the chance.
He was a member of the Community of Christ Church, Bay Port.
