Timothy Scott Broz

Age 71 of St. Louis Park, passed away on February 8, 2026. Preceded in death by his father, Edward Douglas Broz. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife, Modette Broz (Huie); children, Jeremiah, Mariah, Katelyn (Mitch), and Austin (Anna); grandchildren, Ava, Josefina, Wyatt, Harper, Naya, and Levi; his mother, Bernice Broz; sisters, Holly (Cathy) Brocheco and Sandra (Deon) Hawfitch; brother, Steven (Katerie) Broz; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. He lived a life rooted in nature, family, and service to others. The outdoors was not just where he spent his time; it was where he found peace, purpose, and joy. As long as anyone can remember, "going up north" meant returning to Pelican Lake in Merrifield, Minnesota, where his grandparents purchased the resort in 1955. That lake became the cornerstone of his family's memories and one of the great joys of his life. A fourth-generation resident of St. Louis Park, he graduated from St. Louis Park High School in 1972 and spent his life raising his children there, building deep roots in the community he proudly called home. He met the love of his life, Modette, in 1971 in Crosslake, Minnesota. Together, they built a life centered on love, loyalty, and togetherness, raising four stunning children: Jeremiah, Mariah, Katelyn, and Austin. His family reflected the life he built, one grounded in care, openness, and connection. He welcomed people from all walks of life with kindness and believed that family was something you built through loyalty, care, and showing up, not something limited by blood alone. He was known for his kindness, loyalty, and steady presence. He loved bringing people together, especially around food, often spending the entire day cooking so family and friends could enjoy meals together on weekends or after a long day. His home was a place where everyone was fed, stories were shared, and no one ever felt like a stranger. He taught his children by example: how to work hard, care deeply, respect nature, and find happiness in both shared moments and quiet solitude. He passed away at his beloved cabin after a day spent ice fishing with his son Austin and grandson Levi, leaving this world as he lived, doing honest work, surrounded by family, and at peace in the place he loved most. His legacy lives on in the lessons he taught, the hands he held, the meals he shared, and the countless memories made outdoors. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, February 19that Washburn-McReavy Edina Chapel (5000 W. 50th St. & Hwy 100) at 11:00 a.m., with visitation one hour prior. A catered lunch will be provided immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Pelican Lake Conservation Club (https://plccmn.org/) or the Minnesota Land Trust (https://mnland.org/), honoring his love of the outdoors and commitment to preserving Minnesota's natural spaces.
