Tim Gibbons

NIBLEY, UTAH - Virgil Tim Gibbons, 59, passed away May 2, 2010, at Logan Regional Hospital. Tim was born on April 1, 1951 to Virgil Johnson Gibbons and Velma Beck. He was the youngest of eight children. Tim graduated from Sky View High School in 1969 and continued on to obtain a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering in 1974 with top honors. Tim served with the Smithfield National Guard in the 245th artillery and played with the Smithfield Blue Sox in the early 1970s. He married RaeDell Richins; they had one daughter, Karie Lyn, who was born in Nebraska while he was pursuing a graduate degree in Soil Mechanics at the University of Nebraska.
After returning to Logan, Tim started a civil engineering and land surveying business. He served as City Engineer for numerous cities throughout Northern Utah and as Construction Manager for several local companies. Over the past 16 years, Tim’s proprietorships have led to the development of nearly 400 building lots throughout Cache Valley and the investment in properties throughout the Western United States. Tim took pride in his work. He loved to make business deals and enjoyed the business relationships that were developed over the years.
Tim treasured all of his family. He had two sons with Robynn Bay, Dustin Timothy and Chase Wade. His wife and companion, Cindy Kay Forsgren, spent 20 wonderful years together. She had two sons, Brandon and Shawn Udy, who Tim helped raise. Later, he and Cindy had a daughter, Taylor Joe.
Tim was an avid New York Yankee and Utah Jazz fan and supported the Jazz as a season ticket holder for over 20 years. He loved to play golf, cheer on his race horses, and challenge others to a game of pool or cards and often liked a good wager. Travelling was one of his favorite past times, especially to the tropics, going deep sea fishing, or to watch the Yankees play ball. Tim has made many contributions to the community and often did, as a silent tribute. He believed that he never truly became successful until he learned to give back to the community.
Tim is survived by his wife, Cindy Kay Gibbons, daughters, Karie and Taylor; sons, Dusty and Chase; stepsons, Brandon (Hillary) and Shawn (Rumdoul); grandchildren, Annaiya, Tanner, and Somnaang; and siblings, Eva (Blaine) Harris, Don Criswell, Cheryl Conley, and Darwin (Jean) McPhie. Tim was preceded in death by his father, mother, and three brothers, Jim, Burt, and Lamar.
