Brother Tim Mensinger embodied the essence of Masonic virtue, dedicating his life to the principles of Freemasonry and the Scottish Rite Creed. His legacy of service and commitment will forever resonate within the hearts of those he touched.

A proud member of the Masonic Fraternity, Tim's journey was marked by leadership and dedication. He served as Master of Kennewick Lodge No.153 and Venerable Master of the Scottish Rite, Valley of Kennewick, guiding his brethren with wisdom and compassion.

Tim's exemplary contributions to the Craft were duly recognized, as he was bestowed with the Knight Commander of the Court of Honour, and 33°, Inspector General Honorary. His tireless efforts extended beyond the lodge, as he played a pivotal role in the Orient's Scottish Rite Scholarship Foundation of Washington. This noble endeavor, close to his heart, reflected his unwavering commitment to education and community service.

In 2022, Tim's dedication was honored with the highest accolade, as he was elected Director Emeritus of the Foundation's Board of Directors. This prestigious position symbolized 27 years of selfless service, enriching the lives of countless students and embodying the principles of the Rite.

Tim's passion for music echoed through his service in the United States Air Force, where he contributed his talents to the 724th Air Force Band at McChord Air Force Base. His devotion extended to his faith community, where he lent his voice to the West Highlands Methodist church choir, enriching worship with his musical gifts.

Above all else, Tim was a man of unwavering faith and profound love for his family. His dear wife Maura and cherished daughters, Gretchen and Heidi, were the heart of his world. His legacy lives on through them, a testament to his enduring love and devotion.
In honoring the memory of Brother Tim Mensinger, we celebrate a life well-lived, guided by principles of faith, service, and fraternity. Though he may have passed from this world, his spirit remains eternally present, inspiring all who knew him to walk the path of virtue and compassion.
