Timothy Buboltz

February 28, 1951 - July 16, 2019

Timothy Buboltz, 68, of Matthews, North Carolina, died peacefully in his home of 43 years on July 16, 2019, after a courageous battle with cancer. Tim was born in Charlotte, NC, on February 28, 1951, the son of Sylvester J and Frances Bass Buboltz. In the second grade, he first met Ms. Carolyn Brooks, and as fate would have it, they ended up in high school together and were married almost 50 years. Tim was an unlimited electrical contractor and he and his brother Mitchell owned and operated Inland Electric. When not working, Tim enjoyed reading anything he could get his hands on. When not reading, he loved sailing, fishing and motorcycle riding. Most of all, Tim loved the time spent with family and friends and his love and laughter will be sadly missed. Tim embodied Micah 6:8, “Do justly, love mercy and walk humbly.” Tim is survived by his wife, Carolyn Brooks Buboltz; a sister Doneata Grisdale of Charlotte; a brother, Mitchell (wife Kim) Van Buboltz of Fort Lauderdale, FL; a daughter-in-law, Shannon Buboltz of Matthews; and granddaughters Jessica (fiancé Kyle Church) Lynn Buboltz, Sydney Elaine Buboltz; and great grandchildren Maverick Moree and Harper Church. He is further survived by his sister-in-law and favorite caregiver, Gloria Hinson; a brother-in-law, David Brooks; as well as numerous other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his best friend and loving son, Richard William Buboltz, as well as his parents and siblings: Sylvia Burkheart and Leo Buboltz. Tim’s family has given the family of Lowe-Neddo Funeral Home the privilege of caring for him and for them. A gathering to celebrate the life, love and blessing of Tim led by Mr. Michael Neddo will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, July 19, in the funeral home chapel, 4715 Margaret Wallace Road, Matthews, NC 28105. The family will receive friends at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.
