Timothy "Tim" J. Salm

Timothy John Salm left this earthly plane on 2/26/24 after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. He has joined his four-legged soulmate, Huey, where they are continuing on many more new and exciting adventures.

He will be lovingly remembered by his mother Jeanne Salm; his siblings Michael Salm (Claudia Cooper-Salm), Martha Runyan (Mike), Peter Salm (Mary Jo Guglielmi), Mary Pat Pike (John), Andrew Salm (Pamela), Colette Salm-Schmid (Derek ), Maggie Moore (Mike), and his lifelong loving companion Joan Schwarzbach; along with numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, and colleagues.

Predeceased by his father Vincent (Mike) A. Salm, and both paternal and maternal grandparents.

Tim always marched to the beat of a different drummer. In fact, he owned that drum and he was the one beating on it. He had an insatiable appetite to learn. He was continuously expanding his knowledge and refining his skillsets and talents; while always willing to generously share these with any and all. To say he had a varied academic and vocational career is an understatement. He had a bachelor’s degree, followed by multiple Master’s degrees and professional certifications. Work assignments have included but not limited to Microsoft, dolphin research center, a chiropractic college, a major medical institution, and several colleges and universities; with locations from the east coast to the west coast and from Bemidji, MN to the Florida Keys; with countless places in between.

He will always have a special place in his heart for his only younger sibling, “Margo” whole stole the title of baby in the family; but in reality, took over that burden for him.

He will be best remembered for his generous spirit, his loving smile, and his zest for life. His new journey is just beginning; and he will be happy to tell us all about it, once we arrive.

A private family service will be held: with a celebration to honor Tim’s life to be held at a later date.

Condolences may be sent to family members. In lieu of flowers, we request donations may be made to St. Jude’s Children Hospital.
