Timothy Lynn Kamphuis

Timothy Lynn Kamphuis, age 46, was born on July 13, 1979, to Glen and Darlene Kamphuis and passed away on April 23, 2026, when he reunited with the love of his life, Nicole Deaver. Tim lived life boldly and to the fullest—he loved big, laughed big, and left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He brought joy to all who knew him and had a gift for making every gathering brighter.

Tim was an avid outdoorsman who found peace and joy in nature. Whether he was hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the outdoors, he embraced every moment with enthusiasm and appreciation. He was also a devoted fan of the Milwaukee Brewers, cheering them on with the same passion he brought to all parts of his life. Tim also enjoyed singing and was never shy about sharing his voice, adding even more life and laughter to the moments he spent with others.

Above all, Tim cherished the people and animals he loved. He had a special bond with his dogs, who brought him constant companionship and happiness. His loyalty, humor, and generous spirit made him deeply loved by countless friends, extended family members, and all whose lives he touched.

Tim is survived by his mother, Darlene Kamphuis; his siblings, Steve Kamphuis, Renae (Bill) Lind, Kevin (Lisa) Kamphuis, Sherri (Christopher) Buescher, and Doug (Kim) Kamphuis. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Derrek (Valerie) Kamphuis, Darren (Rachel)Kamphuis, Emilie (Seth) Knox, Kellie Kamphuis, Anna Lind, Mason Lind, Nariah Lind, Jacob Kamphuis, McKaylie (Dylon) Hansen, Chloe (Michael) Rowley, Cully Buescher, Kaylee Rahn, and MacKenzie Rahn (fiancé Jack).

He also leaves behind his great-nieces & nephew, Bella Kamphuis, Lucas Kamphuis, Addie Knox, and Natalie Knox. Tim will be lovingly remembered by Nicole’s parents, Jim and Lisa Cluppert, and Michael Deaver, as well as many other cherished relatives and a large circle of lifelong friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Glen Kamphuis; the love of his life, Nicole Deaver; and his grandparents, Garrett and Minnie Kamphuis, and Roger and Mabel Kastein.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 11 am at Bethel Church in Brandon. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 from 5-8 pm at Werner Harmsen Funeral Home in Waupun and on Wednesday at the church from 10 am until the time of service.

Tim’s life was one of adventure, laughter, music, and heartfelt connection. Though his passing leaves an immeasurable void, his memory will continue to live on in the stories shared, the songs remembered, the laughter echoed, and the love he gave so freely.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
