Eddie "Tim" Mercer

Eddie “Tim” Mercer, 72, of Dellwood, Florida, died Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at his home surrounded by his family.

He was raised in Dellwood, Florida and loved spending time outdoors. His love of hunting and spending time outdoors carried on through two generations. Opening day of hunting season was a National Holiday to Tim. He cherished each year he got to spend with family in the field before a dinner all together. He was self-employed and a hard worker. For over 30 years, you could find him behind the counter, doing what he enjoyed, always laughing and making a joke. He loved to make friends and never met a stranger. You always knew you would have a smile on your face after spending some time with him. He was a man of faith and a member of Cypress Community Church. Above all, he was a loving and devoted husband to Gladys.

Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Alva Mercer and Hazel G. Boyd; his brother, Kenn Mercer; and his stepbrother, DeWayne Cook.

Left to cherish his memory are his son, Chris Mercer, and daughter-in-law Bridgett; granddaughter, Kinsley and husband, Dustin; great-grandson, Walker; granddaughters, Kaitlyn and Raeleigh; nieces, Jessica Mercer, Jennifer Davis, and Jordan Gonzales; his stepmother, Edna Mercer; and stepsisters, Sharon and her husband Scott, Lisa and her husband, John and numerous aunts, cousins and extended family who loved Uncle Tim.

Funeral services will be 2 PM Monday, August 24, 2026 at Dellwood Baptist Church. Burial will follow in the church cemetery with James & Sikes Funeral Home Maddox Chapel directing. The family will receive friends from 1 PM until the time of service.

We would like to say a special thank you to his family, his Aunt Judy, his nurses and good friends for their love and support, reminding us of God’s ever-keeping presence, always sustaining us through this difficult time.
