Mr. Woodward was born on Aug 23, 1953 to Gloria and George Woodward in St Paul, Minnesota. As a young man, he met his life-long love, Terri Nohava in Omaha, Nebraska. They were married on Aug 26, 1981. They had two children Angela and Micheal Woodward. Mr. Woodward's passion was his floor covering business. At the age of 14, he got his first job in the floor covering trade. Mr. Woodward moved his family to Alaska in 1983 which is when he opened Tim's Floor Covering and began contracting through local businesses. Over his career, he became well known for his quality work and attention to detail. His passion for the trade shines through to his son, Micheal and two nephews, Scott and David. He took great pride in teaching them all he knew about the business. He was very proud of these accomplishments. Mr. Woodward loved to spend time with his daughter, Angela. They shared many road trips and always enjoyed their quality father daughter time together, never wasting a minute. Angela truly was "Daddy's little girl". Mr. Woodward loved his family and enjoyed his 4 grandchildren very much. He loved fishing and camping in the wilderness of Alaska with his family. He also loved to spend time on his Aunt and Uncle's farm fishing in North Dakota.
"Tim shared his life experiences as a loving father who always wanted the best for his family. He was one of the most generous and kind men you'll ever meet. He was always there for his family and friends no matter the situation, always without judgment. His funny stories, silly dance and contagious laugh will be memories forever. Until the day comes when we see him again, we will cherish our memories and never stop telling his stories," wrote the family
Mr. Woodward was preceded in death by his father, George Woodward.

Dear, dear, dear Angela,
I read your Tweet and have thought about you so much lately. Your role in your father's salvation is huge and for that, you'll see him again. Until then, there's really nothing to say except how this world leaves us empty again. I pray the Spirit fills you and your family with comfort. You are in my heart and thoughts. Please call whenever you need to. Love you.
--Rachel
The first time I talked to Tim was on the phone when I asked for his daughter’s hand in marriage. I think he was a little taken back when I asked, but I could hear him smile and he said "well I don't see why not, she seems to be really happy with you…I mean she talks about you all the time. And anyone who can make my daughter that happy can have my blessing I suppose…sounds good to me". And within a few weeks I met this great man, and also proposed to Angela on a glacier in Alaska.
Meeting Tim was like meeting a good ol' boy in a small town. He seemed real easy going, cool, laid back and had a lot of stories to share. He liked to read the paper, socialize, joke around, reflect on past times, have a beer and laugh. We went on three fishing trips in Alaska together and we caught our limit each time. When he visited our home in Missouri he shared with me several stories, and they all included his family. But he didn't talk down his family or really judge them. He simply laughed at some of the outcomes and would say "that's what ya get for…" or "I guess that's how it worked out…ya gotta deal with the cards your dealt sometimes".
From what I've gathered, Angela's upbringing is quite a story. It sounds like their family definitely struggled for a while. At one time nine family members lived in a small trailer in Soldotna. Tim's callused hands exemplified the history of the long hours he worked flooring homes and businesses six to seven days a week to help provide. It sounds like he had a strong work ethic, took pride in his work and built up a great reputation among the locals for his attention to detail and quality. After being diagnosed with cancer and getting too weak to work, you could tell it was especially hard for him to not work and just take it easy.
No doubt the family he helped raise has a really close bond and an inspiring connection that I really admire. There's just something about the Woodwards that brings them more together than most families, respect each other and help out where needed. To say the least, Tim went trough a difficult time this past year and so did much of his family and my heart goes out to you all. Terri, Mike, Scott, Kelly, David, Mikey and family, I’m so sorry. Angela, you've been a tremendous support for you Dad and your family during all of this. I know your dad is very proud of your accomplishments in life and thankful for your dedication and help in his time of need, especially these final days You've been such an honorable daughter and I'm so happy you had a chance to bond more and say farewell in person.
God bless the Woodward family. Peace be with you.
Love Justin
Dear Angela and fanily-- jacquie and I are very saddened by your loss and yet at the same time know that through the blessing of Angela's visit we know that her dad has received
Christ as his Lord and Savior. What a comfort to know without question that your loved one is already in the prescence of the Lord in heaven where there in no longer any pain or suffering. God bless you. Ken and Jacquie Helm
Terry – I am so sorry to hear of your loss, please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. -mary
Terry and Mickey,
Tom called me a few minutes ago and told me about Tim. I know you all are in pain and I pray for the Lord to sustain you.
A lot of people will suffer as a result of Tim moving on. Tim was blameless as the Bible term goes. In those days a blameless person was a person that no one had a bad thing to say about. People like me and most folks I guess can't say that about ourselves, but Tim Woodard and Tom Scherer are blameless.
He was a person who lived his life without malice or greed. That's pretty outstanding when you think about it. He was comfortable in his own skin and wish I could say the same about myself.
Timmy means something different to all of us and we all have some pretty outstanding stories to share about our times with him. One thing we can all say is that Tim made us all better .. by knowing him.
A year turns into ten so fast .. then twenty .. Anyway, I am so sorry and if there is anything I can do please let me know. Jim Brown
I’m deeply saddened by your loss. You and I being close in age and both having been married for “some time”, I know how devastated and bewildered I would be if I lost my partner. Past conversations suggest you have suffered a similar loss. If you ever need an empathic ear, let me know.
Take care and take time to grieve. The sun will shine again in due course!
Tim McIntyre, Ph.D.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I had no idea Tim was even sick. It's sad how we all grow apart and loose track of our friends. Tim was so well liked and always had a smile on his face. He will be missed. Love to all of your family.
