Timothy James Borst was born on April 25, 1953 in Oshkosh, WI to Erwin and Maxine (Koszarek) Borst. He grew up in Oshkosh, and graduated high school from Lourdes Academy. He went on to obtain his degree in accounting as well as home inspection license. On November 14, 1978, he was united in marriage to Gwen (Hahn) at Grace Lutheran Church in Albert Lea.
Tim came to Albert Lea in 1977 to manage the Singer Sewing Machine store at the Northbridge mall. During his career, he worked at UBC Lumber Company, an Accounts Manager at Good Samaritan Society, a home inspector, and lately at Renewable Energy Group in Mason City.
Tim and his wife, Gwen were members of Crossroads Church; their faith was very important to them. In his early years, Tim was a Cub Scout, becoming a Boy Scout at age 12. Tim became an Eagle Scout by age 16. He belonged to Troop 44. Tim's father, Erwin, was the scout master. He was a member of the Order of the Arrow, which is the honor society for Boy Scouts. In his free time, Tim enjoyed working with his hands. He liked carpentry, even building his entire house on his own. He loved hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. He cherished summers spent at his cabin on Tom Lake, in Hovland, MN. Most of all, Tim was a loving son, brother, friend, husband, father, and grandfather. He loved the Lord and he enjoyed the gift of giving. 38 years of a loving marriage was a gift that Tim and Gwen shared. They loved each other very much.
He is preceded in death by both parents; a son, Timothy; and brothers, Steven Borst and James "Jimmy" Borst.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Gwen; children, Jodi (Aaron) Augustine, Kelly Hoyt, and Chad Hoyt; grandchildren, Ben and Kayla Friedauer, Jaeger Classon, Bryce and Chase Hoyt, Hailey and Hunter Augustine, Martha, Samantha, Nate Borst; siblings, Kathy Chandler, Karen Borst, John (significant other, Suzie) Borst; Dan (Mary Beth) Borst, Paul (Stephanie) Borst, and David Borst; an uncle that was more like a brother, Gary (Eileen) Borst; as well as many other loving relatives and friends.
Blessed be his memory!
