Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Robert L. Riffe and Jean L. (Shrewsbury) Riffe of Locust Grove, Virginia. He is survived by his brothers, Robert L. Riffe, Jr., Brian D. Riffe, and Steven G. Riffe.

Tim had a profound love for fishing, finding peace and joy by the water. The family would want Tim to be remembered as he lived:

"So when you fish on morning's light,

Or find a quiet place at night,

Remember him with every cast,

For he is free, at peace, at last."

A private Celebration of Life will be held. The Inurnment will be at Laurel Hill Memorial Park in Spotsylvania, Virginia.
