Tim J. Jorgensen 1956 ~ 2005 SMITHFIELD, UT - Tim James Jorgensen, 49, was
reunited with his father and mother Thursday, July 21, 2005 at LDS Hospital in
Salt Lake City after a valiant battle with pancreatic cancer. Tim was born
January 27, 1956 in Butte, Montana to Marvin and Norean Jorgensen. He moved to
Smithfield three years later and remained there until his death. He served in
the U.S. Army during peace time and was honorably dis-charged. Tim is a member
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tim is survived by his
brother, Terry (Sandalee), Gilbert, AZ; sister, Tamra (Paul) Nilson, SLC, UT;
children; and wife, Tamie Jorgensen. On June 1, 1979 Tim married Lisa
Fuhriman, in Wellsville, Utah. Their children are Tyrell James and Lacey Kay,

couple, Tim loved travel and adventure. The week before his passing Tim
traveled to the High Uintahs for a family reunion. As a couple we planned to
retire on the mountain with a bed and breakfast and to establish a fire
department in Dutch John. Tim worked for Logan City in the Park's Department
from 1974 to 1979 when he went to work for North Logan City as a heavy
equipment operator. Continuing his education he headed the Streets Department
and became Building Inspector of North Logan City. In 1992 Tim was appointed
North Logan City Fire and Rescue Fire Chief. Tim's passion for the Fire
Department was endless. Being the "Fire Chief" was just who he was. His
devotion, and possibly his first love, was to his volunteers, their education,
and together their commitment to have a safe community and serve the public.
Tim always felt a deep appreciation to the Smithfield Fire and Rescue
Department for their support in establishing North Logan Fire and Rescue. Tim
always told of his appreciation for early North Logan City mayors and Chief
Paul Lamont who without them he said "there would be no North Logan Fire and
Rescue." Tim praised his volunteer "Heroes" he would call them. Family and

patriotism, music, and all things Disney. Viewing will be held Tuesday, July
