A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle, Tim's generous spirit and handy skills left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Tim is survived by his loving wife, Tammy Berg-Swope of Scottdale, whom he married on June 6, 1987. Together, they built a life filled with love and laughter. His legacy continues through his children: Blake Berg-Swope and his wife Bethany of Everson, and Megan Berg-Swope of Scottdale. His joy was multiplied with the arrival of his grandchildren, Aleena, Aubree, Beau, and Abigail, who will miss their grandfather's boundless energy and the great outdoors adventures he shared with them.
