Timothy L. Bodin, age 65, of Bloomington, MN passed away peacefully in his home on Feb. 3, 2023.
He is preceded in death by his father, Clifford Bodin; mother-in-law, Marilyn Cuccia; stepfather, Rod McKusick and best friend, Randy Speckmann.
Tim went to technical college in Pipestone, MN to study Building Materials, Marketing and Management. He began his career in Sioux City, IA, working for Schoeneman Lumber. He eventually made his way to Menards in Eden Prairie, MN and became their Building Materials Manager. He was a dedicated employee for 34 years and deeply cared about his co-workers. Many of his clients became his friends.
Tim loved to do woodworking, even constructing a beautiful wooden canoe. His adventurous spirit and love of the outdoors allowed him to travel, and to become a horseback rider, sailor, scuba diver, and skydiver. He was an avid gardener with a specialty in Dahlia growing. He was a lover of animals (rescuer of a few) and also a long-time member of the Pax Christi Catholic Community and a volunteer for the 'Let's Go Fishing' organization, both in Eden Prairie. Tim was an easy-going, kind and generous man with a great sense of humor. He will truly be missed.
He is survived by his loving wife Marie, mother Jeanne B. McKusick, brothers Mike Bodin (Jeannette) and Mark Bodin (Elizabeth), sister Laurie Bodin-Henderson (John), father-in-law John Cuccia, sisters-in-law Teresa Kawakami (Cary) and Laurie Oliver (Bryan), brother-in-law Michael Cuccia (Margaret), 14 nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends.
His 'Celebration of Life' service will be held at Pax Christi, 12100 Pioneer Trail, Eden Prairie on Friday, Feb. 24th. Visitation to begin at 10 am, service to begin at 11 am with luncheon to follow.
