Timothy Elantson Jasper, 52, of Buchanan, Michigan, died on Oct. 5 from acute myeloid leukemia, at the VA Medical Center in Washington, DC. Born November 11, 1960 in South Bend, Indiana, he was the son of Robert Fulton Jasper and Janet Lorraine (Sult) Jasper.

Timm joined the U.S. Navy in 1981 as an Aviation Electronics Technician. The Navy assigned him to various locations in the United States and Spain. He married Rose on September 26, 1985, while stationed at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. After his military service, Timm took his love of computers and gregarious nature and opened a computer store, Total Quality Computers Inc. (TQCI) in California, MD. He operated the retail store until late 2006, when the family moved to Michigan. Timm continued to work on computers, and was able to indulge his avid love of golf by joining various golf leagues through his memberships with Moose Lodge 449 and American Legion Post 51.

Timm is survived by his wife, Rose Cecelia (Norris) Jasper, and their children Timothy Jasper Jr. of Garner, NC and Jennifer Jasper of Buchanan, MI.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his oldest brother Robert Jasper.

He is also survived by his brother Rodger Jasper (Linda) of Niles, MI and sister Robin Schoff of Wake Forest, NC; mother-in-law Clara Ridgell Norris of Leonardtown, MD; brothers-in-law Matt Norris (Betsy) of Clarksville, MD and Mike Norris (Sandy) of Hollywood, MD; and sisters-in-law Gail Nash (Harry) of Leonardtown, MD, Donna Isenberg (Bill) of Loveville, MD, and Carol Jasper of Southfield, MI; and many treasured cousins, nephews and nieces.

Rose, Timmy and Jennifer would like to thank our friends and family for your prayers and support during these past few years. They were a great source of strength for Timm during his treatments. Thank you to bethematch.org for matching Timm with a bone marrow donor, whose generous donation allowed Timm extra time on this earth to share with his family and friends.
