Tim Sheets

Tim Sheets,71, of Flora, Indiana, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of faith, love, and dedication to his family and community. Born on December 21,1954, in Nappanee, Indiana, Tim lived a life deeply rooted in his faith in Christ, with a personal mission to live purposefully and to help those around him find and live for Jesus. 

Tim’s journey began at North Wood High School, where he graduated with a strong desire to explore a medical career. He pursued higher education at Manchester College, earning a Bachelor’s degree in biology before continuing on to Butler University’s School of Pharmacy. His professional career was marked by over two decades of service at Eli Lilly, where he made a significant impact. After retiring from Lilly, Tim continued his pharmacy work part-time at Walgreens, Community Pharmacy in Logansport and Riggs Community Health Center in Lafayette, always committed to serving others with care and integrity. 

Next to his faith, Tim’s greatest joy was his family. He was deeply devoted to his wife of 45 years, Beth, who was not only his partner in life but also his best friend. Together, they built a life centered on love, faith, and service. Tim was incredibly proud of his two children, Jennifer and Michael, and their spouses Taylor and Valerie. He also found immense joy in spending time with his seven grandchildren and exchange-granddaughter from Spain. His greatest desire for his family, particularly his grandchildren, was that they would accept Jesus into their lives and continue to walk in the legacy of faith passed down to them. 

In 1998, Tim and Beth moved to Beth's family farm, now known as Heritage Farm. It was here that Tim discovered a new passion—raising alpacas and operating a thriving farm business. What started as a venture into alpaca farming soon blossomed into a larger mission, as Tim and Beth felt called to share the beauty and tranquility of their farm with others. Heritage Farm became a place of hospitality, hosting weddings, overnight farm stays, tours, and other farm-related activities. For Tim, the farm was more than just a business; it was a mission field where he and Beth welcomed guests from across the country and around the world, sharing their faith and the peace of farm life with everyone who visited. He had a strong love for the alpaca community and shared his faith during the shows with others and during Sunday morning worships which have touched many hearts. Tim Sheets leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, and service. His life was a testament to his unwavering devotion to Christ, his deep love for his family, and his passion for making a difference in the lives of others.
