of Bryant, AR

July 16, 1954 - September 2, 2025

Timothy Lee Friesen, age 71 of Bryant, AR, went to be with his Lord and Savior on September 2, 2025.

Tim was born on July 16, 1954, in Henderson, NE, to Levi and Elizabeth Friesen. He married Debra Ann Barnes in Omaha, NE, in 1981. Together they raised five children: Sarah, Michael, David, Elizabeth, and Benjamin.

Tim embodied his own quote ''People Matter'' in how he loved and served the Lord, his family, and others. He was faithful in ministering to his family by teaching his children and grandchildren about Jesus and the gospel. Tim was Debbie's best friend, confidant, and safe place. He provided for his family well, working diligently as a sales manager, modeling integrity, and putting others' needs and interests above his own. He took the time to express to those he loved what they meant to him, and was intentional in showing God's love and care to anyone in his path. He also invested his heart and service into Redeemer Community Church as an elder, encourager, and friend.

Those who went on to glory before him are his parents, Levi and Elizabeth Friesen, and his brother, Ken Friesen.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Debbie, his children, Sarah and her husband Matt Hobbs, Michael and his wife Erin, David and his wife Meredith, Elizabeth and her husband Zach Rollings, Ben and his wife Zoar, and his 13 grandchildren, Grant, Rylee, Owen, Landon, Levi, Ezra, Eleanor, Titus, Cooper, Zoey, Wesley, Timmy, and baby girl Friesen (due in January).

Tim also leaves behind a sister Ruth and her husband Dale Strasser, a brother Lee and his wife Valerie, a sister-in-law Amy Friesen, many Friesen nieces, nephews, and cousins, Debbie's parents, Jerry and Dolores Barnes, the other members of the Barnes family, and all of his church family at Redeemer Community Church.

We are grateful to those who stood with us during this time by providing meals, visiting Tim in the hospital and at home, many acts of service, notes of encouragement, and the countless hours of prayers lifted up on our behalf. Our prayers have been answered. Tim is home.

There will be a private graveside service.

A 'Celebration of Life' service will be held on September 13, 2025, 2:00pm at:
Redeemer Community Church
11512 W. David O Dodd Rd.
Little Rock, AR 72204.

Donations can be made to Redeemer Community Church.
