Tim was born on October 7, 1967, in Cedar Rapids, the son of Albert and Della Delois (Haneline) Hotz. He graduated from Washington High School in 1986 with plans to attend college and pursue a career as a music producer. Instead, Tim chose to remain in Cedar Rapids to care for his family – one of many selfless decisions that would come to define his life.
For 32 years, Tim worked tirelessly at the Cedar Rapids Country Club as a dishwasher, giving everything he had to support the team and ensure operations ran smoothly day in and day out. His dedication was unwavering, and his familiarity with every corner of the Club was unmatched. Tim lived his life with purpose and genuine devotion to those he loved and to his work. If someone was in need, he was always there to help – with a quick nod of his head, he seemed to know exactly what needed to be done. Whether it was lending a hand to a needed task or tracking down a rare CD that no one else could find, Tim was always there for his family.
Outside of work, Tim was an avid collector of vinyl records and CDs. There was always music to be played, enjoyed, and studied. He cared deeply for those around him, and that care was evident in the commitment and kindness he brought to every aspect of his life.
Survivors include his nieces and nephews; a brother-in-law; his CRCC family at the Cedar Rapids Country Club; his chosen brother, George Madlon; and his chosen nieces, Montana and Skilar Madlon.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Penny.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to Foundation 2 Crisis Center of Cedar Rapids in memory of Tim.

Scrapper, you were always a good friend and you will be missed.
Cedar Rapids Country Club lost a dedicated and loyal employee – a good person – when Tim passed away. He will be missed and remembered. My regret is that I did not tell him thank you as often as the opportunity presented itself.
My wife and I have seen Tim’s hard work and determination at CRCC for all those years. We will miss seeing him.
Tim was just a great guy. I’m thankful that God allows our lives cross paths. I’ll always remember Tim from years of going to school together, and bowling with him in youth bowling on team Pizza Hut. As years went by I’d see Tim periodically at different times and places, I’m gonna greatly miss not seeing him around. But I do know Gods promise, and we will see him again someday.
