Timothy Joel Daily, 54, of Chehalis, Wash., passed away unexpectedly Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, while on a hunting trip in Colville, Wash. He was born Feb. 28, 1965, in Calcasieu Parish, La., to Robert Joel and Esther Rose (Landry) Daily.
Tim met the love of his life, Carla Burgess, through a family member. He and Carla were casual acquaintances, but began dating after she vacationed with one of his cousins. Tim moved to Washington in order to build their relationship, and the couple wed April 13, 1985, in Chehalis.
Tim enjoyed the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, four wheeling, hiking, camping and barbecuing were some of his favorite things. He loved working on cars and racing, as well as entertaining guests.
Tim was a comforter, he was the most kind and compassionate man on earth. He was the type of father that loved no matter what. If you needed anything, he was there, no matter the time, reason or request. His love was unconditional. Tim helped without judgement and wanted all his children to do well in life, and adapted his life to meet the needs of his family.
His mother remembers him as the best child a parent could have had. He was honest and well behaved, and it was a privilege to raise him. He had the biggest forgiving heart and stood strong for his family.
Tim was a local 26 steamfitter. He blessed the industry with a spirit of excellence and a high quality of craftsmanship for 33 years. His exemplary conduct was notable to employers, local membership, vendors and customers throughout the State of Washington.
Tim was preceded in death by his father, Robert; and son, Milo Daily.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carla; children, Tyrell Daily, Echo Kasinger and Amanda Daily; grandchildren, Karessa Daily, Kaleah Daily, Aubree Kasinger, Bentley Kasinger and Brayden Kasinger; mother, Esther; and siblings, Jeff Daily and Rhonda Jett.
A memorial service will begin at 11 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019, at Jesus Name Pentecostal Church, 1582 Bishop Rd., Chehalis. A reception will follow the service in the church fellowship hall. Tim was a 35 year member of Jesus Name Pentecostal Church, and was committed to God and supportive to his church community in every way.
