MEMORIAM
 Tim Whitton
June 19, 1960
- December 1, 2025
Valley View,
Texas
Timothy Glen
Whitton, 65, of Valley View, passed away December 1, 2025, in Valley
View, Texas. Tim was born June 19, 1960, in Houston, TX, and attended
R.L. Turner High School in Carrollton. He married Debbie Tutt on
February 12, 1979, in Carrollton.
He worked at
Anchor Crane and Hoist in Irving for several years and then went on to
start his own business. Tim was a successful entrepreneur. He built a
metal fabrication business from the ground up and poured himself into
it. His shop wasn’t just a place of work; it was the physical
expression of his determination, craftsmanship, and pride. Tim’s proven
skill set and ambitious attitude led him to take on a wide variety of
projects, ranging from small creations to help his family to shaping
cityscapes across the metroplex. For over 20 years, he built overhead
cranes for Global Crane. He also worked on fleet equipment for cities
including Denton, Plano, Farmers Branch, and Lake Dallas, to name a
few. From big cities to small towns, he shaped the metal that formed
our communities.
A man of few
words, but with a calm, reassuring nod that would say more than a long
conversation ever could. His sharp wit, paired with a playful, dry
sense of humor, brought laughter to every room and made him a friend to
all.
Survivors
include: wife, Debbie Whitton of Valley View; daughter, Jessica Palmer
(Chris) of Highland Village; son, Jared Whitton (Sarah) of Rowlett;
son, Joshua Whitton of Celina; grandchildren, Luke and Ella Palmer, and
Colton and Paislee Whitton; and sister, Debbie Crawford (Ted) of
Lewisville.
Preceded in
death by parents, Jesse and Shirley (McDonald) Whitton, and brothers,
Roger Whitton and David Whitton.
A memorial
service is scheduled for Friday, December 12, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at
