Timothy Scott Marcotte (Big Tim)

Timothy Scott Marcotte (Big Tim) of Palco passed away on March 24, 2024, at the Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, Kansas, at the age of 67.

He was born on February 25, 1957, to Orren Henry and Marjorie (Purkey) Marcotte in WaKeeney. He married Brenda K. Robison on June 24, 1979, in Littleton, Colo. (one of the very few years harvest was later than usual).

Timothy grew up in rural Rooks County. He graduated from Palco High School in 1975. He loved running track, wrestling, and basketball. He held the long jump record for many years. He graduated with an associate degree in auto-mechanics from Union College in Lincoln, Nebraska. After college, Tim and Brenda returned to pursue his love of ranching and farming. Tim made time for other things that he loved: cars, hunting, and fishing. One of the highlights of his years was “The Hunters From Arkansas” coming out every year. He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his daughter and son-in-law. Big Tim (as most knew him) never met a stranger. He was a loving husband, father, brother, and friend.

Timothy is survived by his wife, Brenda, of Palco; daughter Katelyn Marcotte-Crawford (Connor Crawford), of Aurora, Colo.; and siblings Rita Spears, of Dora, Missouri, Terry (Annette) Marcotte, of Belleville, and Julie Mattson, of Palco.

He is preceded in death by his parents.
