Mr. Timothy Raymond Yount was a retired hard rock miner from Washington County M.O. He began his career with The St Joe Lead Company, which was bought out by the Doe Run Company, where he would retire, 38 years later. He was adored by the miners who had the pleasure of working alongside him.

Above all Tim was a family man, he was a provider in every sense of the word. though regimented He could be quite whimsical, whether it be, converting the families hog farm to a motocross track, with a bulldozer or driving cross country 3 or 4 times a year to Safford Arizona, just to relax at the foot of Mt. Graham with his wife Victoria and their Mexican neighbors. Tim had a broad scope of interests. He had a unique taste in music and was rumored to be a formidable guitar player and singer in his day. His interests of late included reading nonfiction/history-based literature, brewing, gardening and riding his grandchildren around on the tractor. He will always be remembered for his dry wit and sense of humor and of course his big heart.

Tim will be forever loved and sorely missed by so many.

Private services will be held at a later date. Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the care and direction of the DeClue Funeral Home.
