Timothy Getz

Timothy A. Getz, 63, passed away peacefully at his residence in Upper Nazareth Township, surrounded by his loving family, on Monday, June 9, 2025. He was the husband of Michele D. (Schaffer) Getz. The couple celebrated 42 years of marriage last November.

Born in Wilson Borough, Tim was raised by his maternal grandparents, William and Ruth (Kessler) Getz, and he was a 1980 graduate of Nazareth High School. His career as a successful heavy equipment operator was a lifelong pursuit that spanned more than three decades.

An avid outdoorsman and life-member of East Bath Rod & Gun Club, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, and shared many fond memories of fishing trips in upstate New York. Tim was also huge fan of sprint car racing and NASCAR.

Getz and fiancee, Stephanie, of Upper Nazareth Township, and Cristal Mertz and husband, Joshua, of Nazareth; a grandson, Austin, and two granddaughters; two brothers, Robert Garren of Danielsville, and Troy Garren of Saylorburg; a sister, Candy Nguyen and husband, Dr. Vu, of Moore Township; along with nieces and nephews.
