Timothy Sears Montgomery, a former city councilman and involved Arvada community member, died May 1.
Montgomery, 68, died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm after being admitted to Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge for treatment of severe headaches.
Since moving to Arvada in 1968, Montgomery has been involved with a vast variety of organizations and projects, including the Arvada Harvest Festival, the Arvada Historical Society and the Arvada Jaycees.
Montgomery served District 4 of the Arvada City Council from 1979 to 1981 and 1987 to 1991.
He was selected as the 1979 Arvada Man of the Year and was featured in the Arvada Sentinel sponsored book Arvada Profiles: Stories of the People Who Most Influenced Our First 100 Years.
"I have never met anyone who cared so much about individuals," said Rick Nelson, 35-year friend of Montgomery. Montgomery and Nelson were co-chairs of the Arvada Harvest Festival for several years. "He's the most selfless, caring, giving individual I've ever met. He definitely lived to help anyone in need."
Montgomery's funeral will be held at 10:30 a.m., Friday, May 5 at the Arvada Presbyterian Church, 5592 Independence St., Arvada.
He is survived by his wife, Alma Montgomery of Arvada, son Brett Montgomery of Longmont, daughter Syndee VanMeters of Arvada and three grandchildren.
A busy man, Montgomery was never too busy to help out a good cause.
Although he owned and operated his own Arvada public accounting company, Montgomery & Associates, for the last 35 years, Montgomery would always find the time to lend a hand in support of the community.
"He was the most giving person, if you needed something, Tim would find a way to get it for you," said Mary Ann Shoenberger, a longtime friend of Montgomery. "He made me want to be a better person, do more for the community.
"This is a great loss for Arvada."
His work on the Arvada Harvest Festival since first volunteering in 1971 has been instrumental in making the popular event and parade what it is today, Nelson said.
From 1982 to 2005 he served as the festival's Parade Chairman and served as over-all festival chairman eight times.
Montgomery was a founding member of the Arvada Historical Society and was a key player in establishing the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities by working on the center's advisory board from 1987 to 1991.
His list of accomplishments and contributions to the community warrant praise, but Montgomery was the type of person to shy away from recognition, Nelson said.
"I've worked on various issues (in Arvada). I've just been in the right place at the right time," Montgomery said during a 2004 interview with the Arvada Sentinel. "Arvada is my home."
He didn't need recognition. Helping the community was Montgomery's reward in itself, Nelson said.
"He avoided the limelight as much as possible and worked tirelessly on community projects through the night usually without anyone knowing it," Nelson said. "He was like a one man service club or church.
"This disappearing breed of humanitarians should never fade away. They set an exemplary model in a culture drifting in a different direction."
