Timothy M. Pasda

Born on May 27,1973, in Dunkirk, New York, Tim lived a life marked by service, dedication and a deep appreciation for connecting with others.

Tim attended Forestville Central School and graduated from Fredonia High School in 1991 where he excelled in cross country, track and basketball.

Tim proudly served in the United States Air Force for approximately 10 years achieving the rank of Tech Sergeant. His military career took him to various locations including Las Vegas, San Antonio and Germany. His time in the service reflected his commitment to duty and his ability to adapt and thrive in diverse environments and led him to his chosen field of computer network security.

Following his military service, Tim built a successful career in computer network security. He worked for industry leaders such as Cisco Systems and AT&T, where he applied his sharp problem solving skills and technical expertise.

After spending some time in Puerto Rico helping other young servicemen and women transition out of the service and into the private sector- often matching them with really great opportunities, Tim most recently brought that same passion for troubleshooting and helping others to his role at San Antonio Auto Title.

Tim had a natural gift for engaging with people from all walks of life. Whether speaking with a CEO or chatting with someone on the street, he treated everyone with equal respect and warmth. He had an infectious sense of humor and a genuine desire to make those around him smile. He was hard to get mad at because he always made you laugh.

He is lovingly remembered by his longtime companion Debbie Toporek; his son, Nathan Pazda, daughters, Emily and Callie Pazda from a previous marriage; his parents, Gary and Cindy Pazda; his brother, Adam Pazda; his nephew, Colton Pazda; paternal grandmother Marjorie Pazda; as well as numerous aunts and uncles.

Tim was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Martha Pierce and his paternal grandfather Raymond Pazda.

A celebration of life was held in San Antonio, Texas on Aug. 31, 2025.

Those that we have held in our arms for a short time we will hold in our hearts forever.
