He was born Sunday, August 19, 1951, in Zanesville, the son of Michael Raymond Musselman and Catherine “Kate” Marie (Rowan) Musselman, and was a member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.
He attended St. Thomas Grade School, and was a 1969 Graduate of Bishop Rosecrans High School. During his school years he enjoyed performing in theater arts. Tim was an altar boy, and sold the Zanesville Times Recorder after all Sunday Masses at the church. He enjoyed art, music, and being outside in nature. Tim loved photography, and was an artist in so many ways.
Tim worked for the Heart of Ohio Girl Scouts Office for many years. In 2006, he moved to Bowling Green to be near his daughter, Alesia and her family who loved him dearly and took care of his every need. While in Bowling Green he volunteered at the Connection Center. The time he spent at the center was a passion and a job he deeply loved. Tim recently moved back to Zanesville to be close to his youngest son, A.J. Musselman and his family.
Tim proudly watched Alesia’s children, Ysabella, Kye and Zander grow, and wanted to return to Zanesville to enjoy his youngest grandson, Lyric. He was immensely proud of all three of his children. Tim also shared a special relationship with his oldest son, Tim Musselman, Jr., who was born on Tim’s birthday.
