Timothy J. Cashman

On October 25, 2018,

Timothy Joseph Cashman

passed away at the age of

77. He died of heart

disease surrounded by

family in the home of his

brother, Daniel, in

Bismarck.

Tim was born on March

19, 1941 in Owatonna,

Minnesota, to Thomas Eu-

gene and Dorothy (Ul-

land) Cashman. He grew

up in Fergus Falls, Min-

nesota and Fort Lauder-

dale, Florida. He played

football for the Fergus

Falls Otters and was co-

captain of the team. He at-

tended the University of

Minnesota on a football

scholarship and played in

two Rose Bowls in 1960

and 1961. In later years he

coached football at Fergus

Falls Community College.

While at the university he

was a member of the Chi

Psi Fraternity.

After obtaining a B.S.

degree in Business Ad-

ministration, he moved to

Minot, ND, and opened a

branch of Cashman Nur-

sery which was founded

in Owatonna, MN, in

1898, by Tim’s grandfa-

ther. Tim was a third-

generation nurseryman.

He sold nursery stock in

Minot, mainly using the

State Fair Grounds but

travelled through North

Dakota and Montana. His

customers became life-

long friends.

Tim was an avid sup-

porter of Bishop Ryan

High School, the Elks and

the great outdoors. He en-

joyed the comradery of

friends and family from

Fergus Falls and North

Dakota as they hunted

and fished. You could be

a flyer or a turtle, but the

fun was being together.

His black lab hunting

dogs were constant com-

panions. Those are the

memories dear to his

heart. In 2001, Tim was

honored to be named to

the Hall of Fame of Fergus

Falls. Tim was also a de-

vout Catholic, he attended

St. Leo’s and enjoyed the

parish community.

Timothy is survived

sisters, Joan Hildreth,

Montauk, NY, Anne Di-

Mott, Mahtomedi, MN

and Connie (Charles)

Pieper, Park Rapids, MN;

brothers, Daniel (Carol)

Cashman, Bismarck, ND

and Jeremiah (Jan) Cash-

man, Bozeman, MT; and

numerous nieces,

nephews, Godchildren,

great-nieces and great-

nephews.

Tim was preceded in

death by his parents and

his brother, Thomas Cash-

man.
