The Sumner Downtown Association has created a Tim Hyland Memorial Fund at Heritage Bank, Sumner Branch, where donations can be made for a downtown memorial project.

To make a donation, call (253) 671-0820, or mail your check payable to:

Upon receipt of the funds, a memoriam card will be sent to the family in your name. If you wish to make the donation anonymously, please include a note with instructions.

Based on conversations with the family, city and community, it is the intent of the Downtown Association to utilize the funds for a bench, bronze broom and bronze plaque honoring Tim’s service to Sumner. The placement location in downtown will be determined in the coming months. We currently anticipate a budget of $5,000 for the project.

Tim worked countless volunteer hours at many of the downtown events and took great pride in his work at the city as Sumner’s Sweeper. Sumner Downtown Association is pleased to be partnering with the City of Sumner and the community on this project to honor Tim’s volunteer commitment and love of Sumner.

Tim especially loved the Sumner Summer Festival. Tim loved the outdoors, hunting & fishing with his family and his buddies. He also loved his yard and animals. Four months ago Tim received a Cochlear Implant and was just starting to enjoy his world of new sounds. Tim will be terribly missed by his family and many friends. He was a very special person. Surviving are his wife Tina, parents Ron & Joanne Hyland, brother Randy and wife Glenda & their children Doug, Nikki & Randy Lee Hyland. Step children Carol, Becky, Tom Mauro and new grandson Daniel.
