Timothy Paul Kavanaugh Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Timothy departed this earthly life victorious in Christ Jesus (Romans 8: 1-39). He was preceded to heaven by his beloved mother Annette Pierce Wessell and his father William Edward Kavanaugh, Sr. He is survived by his life long love Debra Stiger, his brothers Bill, Larry and Mark Kavanaugh, his sisters Teri Kavanaugh and Ginny Conway. Timothy shared his life, love and his wisdom with several nephews and nieces - Eryn, Chris, Laura, Amy, Blake, Sophia and Jonathan. Timothy was super intelligent, charming, had a sharp whit and infectious laugh. He lived his life to the fullest always doing his best to help others - family, friend or strangers, He had a big heart and loving spirit. Timothy was a champion for the underdog and those in need - often at his own peril. He was the epitome of the saying "jack of all trades" and gave 100% to all his endeavors. He was a true perfectionist. Timothy lived a good portion of his adult life holding himself to an unattainable standard and "jousting with windmills". However, the last 4 1/2 years of his life he found peace and understanding from the realization that we can not lean on our own understanding but must trust in the Lord, submit to him and he will make our paths straight. With that he found true peace and his sobriety. He found strength in acknowledging his weakness and learned the importance of "First Things First" and "the common welfare". Timothy's family wishes to thank his sponsor Tim and his support group "family" in Tulsa, OK. Your shared strength and support played a pivotal role in making his life great again and bringing him joy. Our last years with Tim will truly be remembered as our best. Extend a helping hand or a kind word to someone in memory of Timothy. Say his name, share his stories and laugh! Be blessed and know that Timothy is at peace and walking streets of gold with his beloved Mother, family, friends and his heavenly Father. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation in Timothy's memory to Lower Cape Fear Hospice of Wilmington, NC or any organization dedicated to lifting people up with respect and dignity.
