Tim Maynard Jett Sr.

February 27, 1957 — October 2, 2024

Davenport

Tim Maynard Jett Sr, 67, of Davenport, Iowa, passed away on October 2, 2024, at home surrounded by family. 

 He was born February 27, 1957, to Kenneth and Ruby Jett in South Litchfield, Illinois. 

Those left behind to cherish his memory include his Stepmother Phyllis Jett, wife Della; five boys: Micheal (Kelly) Bird, Tim (Lisa) Jett Jr of Davenport, Iowa; Chad (Sophia) Jett of Davenport, Iowa; Sean (Racheal) Jett of Davenport, Iowa; Edward (Veronica) Jett of Prairieburg, Iowa. Lots of Grandchildren and several Great Grandchildren. As well as brothers Richard Jett of Greenfield, Thomas Jett, Kenneth (Brendan Berg) Jett Jr., and Scotty Jett, and sisters Susan (Dennis) Eller and Tena Cooks.

Tim was passionate about driving, working on, and restoring old cars. Most of the time, though, he ended up working on everyone else’s projects and put his on the back burner. That was not an uncommon trait with him; he would be there as quickly as he could to come with the tow truck to get us if we were stuck in snow or ice. It didn’t matter whether it was a semi, truck, or motorcycle; he could drive it. He was a Jack of All trades, finding a way to fix things one way or another. He loved all of the family gatherings when everyone could put everything aside and just be a family for a while. Nature from his squirrel Maynard, going on hikes Eden Valley, Wild Cat Den, fishing, camping, or fires at the house.

Tim was preceded in Death by his Mother, Ruby McCullough; Father, Kenneth Jett Sr.; Brothers Eugene Jett and Bobbie Jett; and Sister, Julie Jett.
