Born February 2, 1957, in Olean, NY, he was the son of William and Claire (McLeavey) Pounds. On August 20, 1988, he married the former Sharon L. Putt in Little Genesee, NY, and together they shared many wonderful years.

Tim graduated from Bolivar Central School in 1975. While in high school, he worked for Bolivar Magneto.

He then worked for Eastern Supply in Olean for ten years and later Industrial Patterns in Bolivar, NY, as a Tool Maker, where he was employed for many years, before retiring due to illness.

Tim had a lifelong passion for motocross racing, an interest he pursued for more than 30 years, and was known among his racing friends as "The Electric Worm". He was one of the "old school" motocross promoters who ran the Bolivar Country Club Motocross and later owned and operated T&P Motor Park. Tim later volunteered his time checking sections at the District 4 Trials Committee Events in Alma, NY for 40 consecutive years. He was inducted into the AMA District 4 Trials Committee Hall of Fame.

He was an avid trap shooter and hunter and enjoyed his involvement with the Richburg Rod and Gun Club. He was a member of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and a lifetime member of the American Motorcyclist Association.

Tim also believed in serving his community. He was a former member of both the Weston Mills and Bolivar Fire Departments, where he served as an Advanced EMT.

In addition to his loving wife, Sharon, he is survived by his daughter, Claire (Tyler) Majot of Eldred, PA; his cherished grandson, Aiden Majot; his stepmother, Wendy Pounds, of Chicora, PA; and his sister, Dawn (David) Brooks of Springville, NY.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his brother, Kevin Pounds, who died in infancy, and nephew Caleb Pounds.

A Celebration of Tim's life will be held on Saturday, November 21st, 12:00 - 4:00 pm at the Richburg Rod & Gun Club 2350 NYS Rte. 275, Richburg, New York 14774.
