Timothy Lee Willis, aged 62, passed away in Marysville, Calif. He was a dedicated journalist and former copy editor at the Daily Post from 2009 to 2018. Colleagues remembered him for his wit and ability to enhance stories under tight deadlines. Before his role at MediaNews Group, he had worked at Palo Alto Daily News and was known for being a good fit in any newsroom. Outside of his career, Willis was proud of his son Tyler and enjoyed visiting museums, reading, and following politics.
"He was a good word guy. He had a good sense of humor," said Mike Wolcott, editor of the Chico Enterprise-Record, who worked with Willis. "You could have taken Tim and put him in any newsroom and would be a good fit."
Willis worked as both a reporter and later an editor. However, colleagues recall that Willis was most proud of being a father to his son, Tyler.
