Timothy Lee Gangle
On Monday, September 16, Timothy Lee Gangle passed away at his home in Grand Ronde, Oregon, with his wife Noëlle at his side. He was 44.
All who knew Tim knew of his love of animals and what a kind, incredible man he was.
Born July 8, 1980, and raised in Sitka, Tim touched many lives. He served in the United States Army, 82nd Airborne as a combat engineer, and returned home to Sitka after being deployed in Kosovo. His love of the woods and adventure led to his working at the remote fish hatchery in Port Armstrong before he moved to Juneau to begin a life with his wife and stepson.
He moved to Oregon in September 2020, in pursuit of his lifelong dream: to own a small hobby farm and foster and rescue animals. Tim built The Gangle Littlefield Menagerie and was able to foster and save animals, including a variety of birds, dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, goats, and turtles. The loss of this wonderful man is deeply felt by all who knew and loved him, and his memory will be forever cherished.
Tim is survived by his wife, Noëlle (Kennedy) Gangle; his stepson Brenon Littlefield; his parents Gayle and Tim Hagen and Gerald Gangle and Kathleen McCrossin; and siblings Amber (Gangle) and Pat Swedeen, Greta (Gangle) and Blake Israel.
He was preceded in death by his sister Tammy Gangle and brother Noel Gangle.
Tim did not want formal services and preferred folks to “do their own thing” - have a fire, share memories and raise a glass of their favorite beverage in his honor.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to care for his rescue animals: 33815 Salmon River Hwy, Grand Ronde, OR 97347.
