David Timothy Heard (Tim), age 77, of Duluth, Georgia, passed away on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at Northside Duluth Hospital.

He was born on May 20, 1949, at Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, to the late John Owen Heard and the late Melba Burdette Heard. Tim loved life and made everything fun. He was a longtime sales representative for N.A. Williams Co. and later started his own company, Heard Home Improvement.

Arrangements are entrusted to Georgia Cremation in Duluth.
