Timothy Pete Falcon

SYLVAN GROVE

Timothy Pete Falcon, 62, entered his eternal home on November 25, 2021. Tim was born January 6, 1959, to Titus Pete Falcon, Sr. and Nancy (Newell) Falcon in Concordia, KS. He was raised in Sylvan Grove, KS and graduated from Sylvan Unified High School in 1977. Tim attended North Central Kansas Area Vo-Tech after High School and graduated with a Certificate in Diesel Mechanics.

He moved to Minneapolis, KS and worked for his uncle Don at the Sawmill where he met some of his lifelong friends. Tim relocated to Salina, KS and worked for Exide Battery and the City of Salina for a few years. He returned to his hometown of Sylvan Grove and purchased the gas station known as Falcon Service for the last 19 years. 

On April 28, 2012 he was united in marriage to the love of his life, Peg Zachgo. In this union, Tim was blessed with six stepchildren and 16 grandchildren. 

Tim enjoyed demolition derbies and the race car circuit with Earl, Ted, Jim and Dave. You could find him at the race track every weekend in his younger days. When he wasn’t there, he was either traveling with the crew or competing at demolition derbies. He also loved to go fishing and hunting with his brothers, especially during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Tim never met a stranger.

After his marriage to Peg, he enjoyed road trips, spending time with his new family, and spoiling his grandchildren.

He was best known in Sylvan Grove for opening the station early so he could sit at the counter and read the Salina Journal and do the crossword puzzle before he started his day. Lord help you if you came in early and wanted something done prior to him getting that alone time. His bark was always worse than his bite.  He loved everyone and would help anyone even while grumbling under his breath.    

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ralph and Agnes Newell and Pastor and Mary Falcon; and his brother-in-law, Don Thrun.

Tim is survived by his wife Peg Falcon; stepchildren, Jesse (Candice) Zachgo, Sally Behrens (Brad), Christy Harry, Matthew (Bernice) Zachgo, Sara Zachgo, and David (Christena) Zachgo; grandchildren, Grayson, Landon, Cody, Hannah, MacKayla, Dacoda, Xander, Callie, Dayln, Rebecca, Logan, Jaden, Aleah, Cambrie, Bentley, and Hudson; parents, Titus Pete Falcon, Sr and Nancy Falcon; siblings, Terri Falcon-Thrun, Linda (Tom) Goss, Titus Pete Falcon, Jr., Todd (Dorie) Falcon, and Julie Falcon; nieces and nephews, Lynne Thrun, Patricia (Kevin) Flenniken, Thomas W.
