Timm Theodore Crabtree

Timm Theodore Crabtree, 89, of Kingsburg, California died peacefully on February 21, 2026. He was a beloved husband, father, grandpa, great-grandpa, and friend. Timm was born on April 11, 1936 in Fresno, CA to Miles and Vivian Crabtree. He attended Conejo School for his elementary years and graduated from Selma High School in 1954. Timm was a devoted follower of Christ. Although he was a man of few words, his love for God was evident throughout his life as he served his family, church, and community. Timm married the love of his life, Sharon, in 1962. He supported his wife's interests throughout their marriage. They started their family in 1965 with the birth of their son, Kevin, followed by their daughter, Kim, in 1967. He was a devoted father who was involved in their many school and church activities throughout the years. While raising his family, Timm was also known for running his family ranch, Arrowheart Ranch, and building engines at Triple Auto in Selma, CA. He was also involved with the Racing Farmers, where he built the engines and was part of the pit crew where they won multiple championships. After retirement he enjoyed traveling to visit state capitals, battlefields, racing and train museums, as well as taking many train rides. Timm loved spending time with his grandchildren, Bryan, Lydia, and Henry. Just as he did with his own kids, he attended his grandkids' various activities. He was also excited to welcome his first great grandson and enjoyed watching him explore. Timm will always be remembered for his smile and the way he always looked after others. We will miss Timm but his memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved him. Timm was preceded in death by his parents and his brother (Robert). He is survived by his wife (Sharon), his son (Kevin), daughter-in-law (Jessica), daughter (Kim), son-in-law (David), grandchildren, great grandson, and family members. A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Saturday, March 28 at 1:00 pm at The Well Community Church - Fig Campus at 4545 N Palm Ave, Fresno. A reception will be held immediately after at the church fellowship hall. In lieu of flowers, donations will be appreciated to The Well Cultivate as we reach out to the next generations.
