Timothy Clinton Slider, born the 6th of November 1941, passed away peacefully on the 2nd of July 2025, in Mesa, Arizona. His wife was by his side and he had an outpouring of love and support from his family.

They fostered many more children throughout the years. He thrived and flourished in his role of Husband, Father and Grandfather.
Timothy never met a stranger. Teaching special education brought him great joy for many years. He also enjoyed participating in sports programs by announcing, refereeing, and keeping score at school, city and church events.

Elder Slider served valiantly with his beloved companion in the Singapore Mission, and it was our privilege to know them and see them in action. Living and serving in East Malaysia has its challenges, but I can’t remember a time when I didn’t see a big smile on Elder Slider’s face. In my opinion, that says it all! We love you both, and Donna please know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this challenging time. May you both be blessed to continue to serve the Lord in faith wherever you are! We have no doubt Tim will be close to you and your family, while also very mindful of his service to the Lord, just as he has always been.

Tim is a fantastic human. I will miss him for sure. I was always impressed with his righteous desires and selflessness. He constantly had a desire to serve others, even when his abilities were limited. What a great example he is to me.
