Timothy William Hindman was born on June 4, 1963 in Gordon, NE to William Delmer and Florence Marie (Nadobny) Hindman. He grew up on the Hindman family homestead northeast of Hay Springs, NE, where he was actively involved in farm and ranch life with the family. He attended a one-room school near the home from Kindergarten through 8th grade and graduated from Rushville High School in 1981. Tim received his BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1985. He began his career in aeronautics right after graduation, working for Boeing in Wichita, KS and Seattle, WA. While living in Wichita, he received his MS in Aeronautical Engineering from Wichita State University in 1990. After a successful career with Boeing, Tim decided to pursue a PhD in Agricultural Engineering at UNL, which he received in 2001. He then went to work at Duncan Aviation in Lincoln as a Structural Engineer, where he worked until his death.
Tim married Toni Rae McNeff in Rushville, NE in 1997, and they made their married home in Lincoln. To their union, they received two blessings: Ardena Pauline and Jessica Eileen. Jessica died in April 2005 after a courageous battle with Neuroblastoma.
He was very devoted to his faith, his family, his work, and his community, active in the Knights of Columbus and music ministry in many parishes. Tim always longed for farm life, and in the fall of 2010, he and his wife Toni and daughter Ardena moved to an acreage near Ithaca, NE to enjoy life in the country, complete with his own rooster that came with the place.
