Francis Timothy "Tim" "FT" Dugan Jr.
Jun 10, 1936 -
Feb 2, 2026
It is with love and deep respect that we announce the passing of Francis Timothy Dugan Jr., known affectionately as Tim or FT. Born in Seattle, Wash., Tim was the eldest of four siblings and grew up with a natural sense of responsibility and leadership.
When Tim was just 11 years old, his mother, Mary, passed away from Hodgkin's disease, leaving his father, Francis Timothy Dugan Sr., known as "Pinky," to raise four children: Mark, Bridget, Katie and Tim. This early loss shaped Tim's resilience, maturity and lifelong devotion to family.
Tim's adventurous spirit carried him far beyond Seattle—from service in the Marines to travels in Mexico and Korea, and eventually to the rugged landscapes of Alaska, which matched his independent and determined nature. Along the way, he never lost his sense of humor or curiosity about life. He loved sharing adventures with his family, from driving the Alaska Highway in winter to visiting Disneyland and Tijuana, creating memories that will be treasured forever.
Tim was a dedicated and hardworking professional. He began his career with Graybar Electric in 1960, where he built a foundation rooted in integrity and reliability. In 1981, he founded Dugan Sales, continuing his commitment to honest work, craftsmanship and strong relationships. Even after retirement, Tim remained active as a real estate agent and a devoted Rotarian, always finding purpose in service and community.
Tim was married first to Mary and later to Twilah, and in the later years of his life he found a loving companion in Carol Pfister.
He was a proud father of five children: Michael, Teresa, Katherine "Kathy," Peggy, and Joe, each of whom he loved deeply and spoke of with pride.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Mark; and daughter, Teresa.
Tim is survived by his children; sisters, Bridget (Gillian) and Katie; and grandchildren, Cole, Abby, Leo, Maddie and Hailey.
He is remembered not only for what he accomplished, but for the love, resilience and wisdom he shared. Francis Timothy Dugan Jr.'s legacy lives on in his family and in all those whose lives he touched. He will be dearly missed and forever cherished.
Tim will be laid to rest at the Vetrans' Memorial Cemetery in Marana, Ariz., on March 17, 2026, at 1 p.m. Please arrive no later than 12:30 p.m.
His family and friends will gather for a celebration of life March 18, 2026, at his home in Green Valley, Ariz.
In memoriam donations can be made to Valle Verde Rotary Club Foundation, please reference the Cleft Palate Program; or St. Andrew Clinic, P.O. Box 311, Green Valley, AZ 85622.
