He was born June 20, 1947, in Kalispell, to Lillian (Thompson) and Maurice "Hap" Holsapple. He graduated from Flathead High School in 1965 and attended the University of Montana in Missoula for one year and then enlisted into the Army in September of 1967 and served in Vietnam. Upon his honorable discharge from the Army he purchased ABC Fire from his father where he worked until 1979 when he sold the business. He was an active member of the Evergreen Lions Club and served as President from 1975-1976. His love of cars and trucks (mostly Fords and some Chevys from the 50’s and 60’s) was evident by his side hobby of buying and selling them and even keeping some for his own personal use. 

In April of 1979, he married Donna Enevold and they moved to Eugene, Oregon, where he worked for National Fire Fighter Corporation. In January of 1985 Donna and Tim were blessed with the birth of their son, Jeff. He then got a job in Southern California working for Amerex Corporation and so another move began in December of 1985. He was his own bone marrow donor and survived Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2005. He retired from Amerex in July 2009.
