Timothy A. Hopper, a cherished soul and a generous spirit, was born on December 14, 1957, in Winterhaven, Florida. He journeyed through life with grace and purpose until his passing on December 29, 2025.
A proud member of the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists (BRPT) and a graduate of the UAB respiratory school, Tim dedicated his professional life to the advancement of sleep medicine. His extensive knowledge and commitment to his field made him a respected figure within the polysomnography community.
Tim’s passions extended far beyond his career; he was an ardent fan of University of Alabama football, embodying the fervor of “Roll Tide Roll.” He reveled in the exhilaration of each game, sharing the highs and lows with those who surrounded him, always celebrating the victories with a full heart, while the losses were simply moments to reflect and rally for the next match.
He derived immense joy from his role as a grandfather, a position that stood as the highlight of his life. Tim was known for his kindness and boundless love for his family, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and support that will resonate in their hearts forever. The memories he created with his loved ones will serve as a guiding light, reminding them of his unwavering affection.
Tim leaves behind his beloved wife, Vicki, who stood by him with enduring love; his daughter Annie and son-in-law Ethan, along with his cherished grandson Toby, who brought him immeasurable joy. He is also survived by his brothers, Stephen Hopper and Daniel Hopper, as well as his nieces, Heather and Kira, both of whom carry forward his legacy in their own families.
He has been preceded in death by his parents, Betty and Albert Hopper, as well as his dear nephew, Chris Hopper, and nephew Cody Chastain. Their absence will be felt deeply, yet Tim’s spirit will live on through the bonds of love he nurtured throughout his life.
As we remember Timothy A. Hopper, we celebrate a man whose life was defined by his passion, his kindness, and his unwavering devotion to family and friends. His legacy is one of love, strength, and joy—a testament to a life well-lived and a heart that will be forever cherished.
A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 3:00pm at Peck Funeral Home with interment in the Hartselle City Cemetery with Peck Funeral Home directing.
