Dr. Timothy Joseph “Tim” North DDS, 72, of Port Huron, went to be with the Lord Monday, August 19, 2024 after battling cancer for several months.
He was born December 7, 1951 in Port Huron to the late Bertram H. “Bert” and Carmen J. North. He married Carmen Learned on August 8, 1981 in Griswold Street Baptist Church.
Tim was a 1970 graduate of Port Huron High School. He attended SC4 and then received a Bachelor’s degree from Taylor University, a Master’s degree from Ball State University and a Doctorate of Dentistry degree from the University of Michigan. He opened his office in his hometown of Port Huron, where he practiced dentistry full-time for 20 years. After retiring, he continued to help other dentists, filling in when needed.
He was a third-generation lifelong member of Griswold Street Baptist Church, where he served for 20 years as the Missions and Outreach Pastor. He and Carmen led many short-term mission trips, including Mexico, Ukraine, Nigeria and Niger, Far East Russia and Guatemala.
Tim joined the board of Life in Messiah International in 1993. He served alongside Carmen as much-loved Personnel Directors since 2004. He was an avid baseball fan and enjoyed history and music.
