Timothy William Copley went to be with the Lord on the 4th of April, 2026 at the age of 54.

Timothy was born on May 5th, 1971 in Bellevue, Pennsylvania.  He was preceded in death by his grandparents and his sister Lorie.  He is survived by his wife Jennifer, daughter Isabella, and parents Ron and Jan Copley.

Tim loved fishing, camping, and watching Ohio State football (Go Bucks!) He was always ready with a laugh and a helping hand, whether he was fixing a leaky faucet, grilling up a bunch of hot dogs, or teasing his many nieces and nephews.  He knew how to turn an ordinary road trip into an adventure. His generous nature and infectious laugh will be greatly missed by his many friends, family members, and acquaintances.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at Gateway Fellowship on May 2nd, 2026.  Visitation hours begin at 11:00am with a service to follow at 12:30pm.  A time of fellowship will follow the service.

Condolences

  • I met Tim almost 5 years ago and I told him that he was gonna be my Big Bro! And he said, you’re my LiL Sis! From that time on I started calling him Timster! It was ALWAYS a great time when he was around! And because we have the same sense of humor, there was always a lot of laughing! Tim was a gentle giant and will be remembered and missed for his Love, Helpfulness and Craziness! WAIT! He was also a great Handyman!
    We Love Ya Timster!

  • I will always cherish the wonderful memories I have with Tim. He will be forever missed.

    Hi Timmy, I know you’re at peace and watching over your family and friends. I never realized how young you were when we worked together at Beazer Homes. Twenty years ago? You introduced me to your parents, Ron and Jan and the rest is history. Words can’t describe the bond we all have had. We’ve had our share of stuff. Never imagined this. You’ll always have a very special place in my heart. I’m glad you’ll be watching over all of us who love you so much. Rest in peace sweetheart. Your big bright smile, laughter and twinkle in your eyes will always be in our hearts and minds.

  • The neighborhood will never be the same. We will all miss his smile and “howdy”. He was one of a kind.

  • Ron and Jan, I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
