Tim was born in Hastings, NE to Emil & Iola (Belau) Kohout. He graduated from Hastings Senior High School in 1976. Tim married Cynthia Sue Blum on September 23, 1977, at First St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Hastings.

Tim worked for Carmichael Construction, then Good Samaritan Village as a carpenter where he retired in April of 2020. He was a member of First St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Hastings. Tim enjoyed spending days in the yard and garden with the love of his life, Cindy, often saying “it takes a real man to plant a flower garden.”  He also enjoyed vacationing with her in the mountains and other wilder parts of the world, hunting with his family and closest friends, being a wonderful “Papa” to his grandkids, renovating and re-renovating their “Prosser Paradise”, brewing craft-beer with his son, laughing the night away with his brother- Ken, hanging with his K9 companions, tinkering with his numerous projects, cooling off in the pool or warming up in the spa, learning about everything and anything, and sharing time with the people that meant the most to him.  He continued to enjoy all these things to the end as he fought valiantly a two-year battle with Mesothelioma. 

Tim was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Sandy Laible; brother-in-law, Jim Uden; and sister-in-law, Jeanne Duggins.
