Timothy Alan Cline

The staff at Heishman Funeral Home Inc. send condolences to the family of Timothy Alan Cline. Timothy Alan Cline, 77, of Edinburg, Virginia, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 02, 2025. He passed peacefully at Winchester Medical Center, surrounded by his family. Timothy was born July 9th, 1947, in Los Angeles, CA, to Lawrence Funston Cline Jr. and Patricia Ruth (Harron) Cline. He later moved to Lakewood, CA and graduated from Lakewood High School. He soon received his associate degree in business and accounting. He met his wife, Corrinne L. (Stone) Cline, of 54 years in 1965 and was married November 08, 1969, in Long Beach, CA. They lived together in Long Beach and Los Alamitos before settling in Lake Forest, CA, in 1977. In 1982, they moved with their children across the country to Broad Run, VA. Many years later, after exploring Nokesville and Dumfries, they settled in Edinburg, VA in 2004. Timothy was a skilled visionary and entrepreneur who built, owned, and operated several successful companies from the 70’s through the 90’s. These companies included those that sold industrial computer systems for private businesses and government clients, and later, an international leasing company that financed electronics and equipment purchases around the world. For the last 20 years of his career, he helped countless people achieve the dream of home ownership and financial security through his compassionate and devoted work as a mortgage banker. He retired from CBM Mortgage INC. in 2021. Timothy was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to all he met. He was a member of Shenandoah Community Fellowship, where he professed his faith and love for the Lord, while building friendships and a church family that he treasured through his final day. Outside of his incredible drive and passion for his work, he was always up for the next adventure. His interests were as varied as the people and places he drew inspiration from. Above all, the personal connections he had with the people who enriched his life were his greatest passion. He lived his life with purpose and longed to be remembered for his love for others, and for always striving to brighten the day. He maintained a wonderful sense of humor and lived every day as a proverbial optimist with a competitive spirit and an unfailing desire to win. For him, there was never a challenge too great to overcome whether in his professional or personal life; and he always found a way to smile through defeat, pain, or loss. In his childhood, he grew up surfing on the California coast and playing baseball every chance he could. Throughout life he was often dressed to the nine’s whether sitting in the office or playing through it. He was a talented golfer who was able to play several esteemed courses internationally and many of the PGA Tour courses across the USA. He was incredibly creative and enjoyed designing and constructing three dimensional landscapes for model railroads and building model structures to scale from scratch. His imagination allowed him to be a wonderful storyteller who entertained his children and grandchildren on countless occasions. He had a passion for music, enjoyed many cards and casino games, and was a sports enthusiast who followed and attended horse and automobile racing events, professional golf, and team sports. He enjoyed collecting sports memorabilia, following player and team statistics, and competing in fantasy leagues. He was a wonderful cook and enjoyed collecting and creating recipes. Of all the seasons and holidays, he loved the magic of Christmas the most. He collected and shared Christmas ornaments from around the world and would spend countless hours wrapping the most amazing decorative packages full of love. He supported and provided for his children’s interests and activities without hesitation or limit, and always strived to ensure opportunity and success was within their reach. Through an early business contact, he developed a lifelong loving friendship with a gentleman who introduced him to trout and salmon fishing; creating a passion that took him through the Sierra and Rocky Mountains, to Alaska and beyond, in pursuit of the next best catch. This passion was reawakened many years later with trips he organized and shared with his son, spanning the US in search of the next top 100 rated blue ribbon trout stream, steelhead, or salmon fishery. Timothy is preceded in passing by his parents and his dearly loved brother-in-law, James M. Stone. He is survived by his wife, Corrinne L. (Stone) Cline of Edinburg, VA; brother, Gordon B. Cline of Somis, CA; son, Brian S. Cline of Amissville, VA; daughter, Melissa N. (Cline) Roberts of Edinburg, VA; four grandchildren - Spencer Cline, Jacob Roberts, Wesley Cline, and Colton Roberts; sister-in-law, Kathryn A. Stone of Laguna Hills, CA; niece, Shannon Stone; and nephew, Andrew Stone. Gifts in remembrance of Timothy may be made to Shenandoah Community Fellowship, 197 Patmos Road, Woodstock VA 22664; www.scfwoodstock.com. A casual gathering to celebrate Tim’s life will be announced at a future date.
