In Awesome Memory of Timothy Jon Luallen
On Saturday, September 19, 2020, Timothy Jon Luallen lost a short, intense battle with multiple myeloma cancer, but not before implanting everlasting memories among so many.
Spirited, influential and strong, father figure, devoted son, brother, nephew, partner and known as one to manage a crowd. Tim was loved by many for smoked meats, seasonings, chili cook-offs, shooting paint, “Kickin’ up Mud” with Super Swampers, “Pour(ing) Some Sugar on Me” during weddings and in caipirinhas, Oakley anything, advancing computers and technology, and taking it “Home Sweet Home.” Tim enjoyed strategic thinking at play and at work, board games like Risk and Stratego, online computer games such as Halo, and true-to-life defensive, cyber-physical battles. A lover of travel, excitement and adventure, Tim loved a great cruise, a good beach and a fine cigar. The memory of Tim is a fireworks spectacular.
Tim was born on May 15, 1967 in Decatur, IL to Thomas and Cheryl (Spreckelmeyer) Luallen. Tim received his Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Science from Illinois State University in Normal, IL in 1989. Employed for 30 years by Tate & Lyle, he last served as the Directory of Cyber Security. Tim continues to persist though his greatly loved daughter Amanda, his parents Thomas and Cheryl, his brother and sister-in-law Matt and Jill and their five children Elise, Talia, Adeline, Phoebe and Kai, and all of the amazing co-workers, friends and families he has connected with throughout his life.
Tim’s online celebration and donations will take place at twitch.tv/timothy_jon_luallen. Go to the link, sign-up if necessary and follow the channel, and you will be notified once it is available. We will be following up the online celebration with an in-person celebration on a later date.
A true country boy at heart, here’s to you Tim, “The Meat Man.”

4 年I had the pleasure of working with Tim for the past four years at Tate & Lyle. An absolute professional, he was always his authentic self. Heartbreakingly my mum also died from this same disease 7 years ago so I know how unforgiving it is. Sending my best wishes to you and your family Matthew. Ollie

4 年Hello Matt, Tom and family. I am so sorry to hear of this news. I worked with Tim many years ago at Staley. I remember Tim, nearly single-handedly running the entire IS department in the tech center. While other companies had large tech staffs, we had Tim who was so off the charts brilliant. I admired him for his passion, can-do spirit and helpfulness. You are all in my prayers.
