Timothy was a Florida Highway Patrol Auxiliary Officer for 13 years, then becoming a Florida Highway Patrol Officer in 2004 and served until his death. He enjoyed fishing, spending time with friends and family. He always made friends no matter where he went. Survivors include both parents: Wayne and Carolyn Burtcher; one daughter: Sarah Burtcher of Fort Myers, step-children; Daelan Wilson and Ashley Veale, one brother: Stephen Burtcher and his wife Diane of Boise, Idaho and one sister: Kelli Burroughs of Lake City, Florida and his fiancé, Mary Wilson. Tim Burtcher was a wonderful man, great officer and amazing dad. He taught me life lessons and reminded me everyday that I could do great things. His smile will continue to be remembered and so will the memories that he shared with friends, family and colleagues. My dad made the day brighter, no matter what was going on in our everyday lives. He was always there to give the shirt off his back, or to start up his Wrangler Jeep to come to the rescue. We will all miss him dearly and cherish that cheesy laugh of his that was on the other end of the phone when he called to check up on you. I love you, Dad. Enjoy heaven, I'll see you there. -Sarah Burtcher. A celebration of Tim's life was held on Friday, February 12, 2016 in the John B.
