Timothy “Tim” Michael Finnegan entered into rest on Monday October 23, 2023, at the age of 67. Beloved husband of Sandra Finnegan (nee Gaddy); devoted father and stepfather of Scott (Katherine) Gaddy, Anthony Gaddy, April Hanson, Brandie (Damun) Kirchner, Sara (Theodore) Putz, and Deanna (Mike) Smythe; cherished grandfather of Riley Lammert, Payton Gaddy, Audrey Gaddy, Leslie Bick Gaddy, Pius, Kailia, Alia, Aubriana, Kailiana, Vanessa, Justin Putz, Adriana Putz, Alysia Putz, Mason Smythe, and Landon Smythe; dear brother to Valerie (Chris) Andrews, Cathleen (David) Cox, and Stephen (Kayla) Finnegan; treasured uncle of Nicholas (Renee) Aiple, Jeffrey Cox, and Jennifer (Josh) Underiter; son of the late James and surviving Julia Finnegan; beloved nephew, uncle, brother-in-law and friend to many. 

Tim, also known as “Big Cheese,” was a proud Irishman who loved music and the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil. He was known to start watching movies, but maybe not finish them. He had many hobbies and interests from billiards and darts to roller skating. Tim loved to travel and especially loved to drive. His love of driving led him to a career as a cab driver, which was also helped by his innate sense of direction. He was known to be able to give anyone directions anywhere!  His direction and guidance will be missed by all who knew him. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF).
