Timothy Mullikin

November 13, 1953 — October 14, 2016

Timothy R. Mullikin, 62, Dilworth, MN, passed away Friday, October 14, 2016, in Sanford Medical Center, Fargo, ND.
Tim was born on Friday, November 13, 1953 to Robert and Adele Maher Mullikin of Moorhead, MN. Known as someone who liked to be a leader in life, he was the first child in the family and was delivered five weeks premature, weighing only 4 lbs. 2 oz.
Tim attended school in Moorhead, graduating from Moorhead High School in 1971. He continued his education at Moorhead Technical College. On January 27, 1973, he married his love of his life, Vickie Hoyme, at Comstock, MN. Tim and Vickie had two children, Ryan and Shannon, and they raised their family in Dilworth.
Known to many as “Mully”, Tim enjoyed meeting and visiting with people. This lead him into sales work as a vocation. After a couple of years in sales training, in 1975, he joined his father’s insurance agency. He was a sales representative for Lincoln National Life and The Brokerage House. In 1984, he also became Vice President of The Brokerage House. He enjoyed the close association with his clients and was still active in this lifetime career.
Tim was an avid golfer and enjoyed playing. Most of all, he enjoyed being with his friends and the fellowship of the Hawley Golf Club. He also enjoyed bird hunting. His trips to the family hunting camp in ND were a very special time for everyone. Winter weekends were often spent ice fishing with family and friends. He enjoyed working with the Dilworth Lions Club and helping others. He received the Lion’s Volunteer of the Year award in 1993 and the Melvin Jones Fellow Award for dedicated humanitarian services in 2002.
His greatest joy was being able to spend time with his family, friends and especially his grandchildren. Tim was happy and at his best with people around him. His uncanny knack of remembering people’s face and name led to many friendships. He will be missed by many.
Surviving Tim are his wife, Vickie; children, Ryan Michelle of Dilworth, Shannon Bryan Bienek of Dilworth; grandchildren, Shelby and Megan Mullikin and Jack and Gracie Sannes, of Dilworth, and a new Bienek grandchild due in March; his father, Bob Jean Jacobson of Detroit Lakes, MN; his brother, Dan Doris Ripley of Pelican Rapids, MN; one niece, Shauna Ben Yliniemi of Fargo; and Vickie’s parents, Roger and Lila Hoyme of Comstock, MN. He was preceded in death by his mother, Adele, and brother, Patrick.
