Timothy M. Engel

On Tuesday, November 10, 2015, Tim passed away in Nashville, TN. Tim was born on June 14, 1980. Tim is survived by his parents, John and Ginny Engel; his sister, Heather Engel of Dublin, Ohio; Aunt Donna (Chuck) Barry of Missouri; Aunt Sue Engel of Toledo; Uncle James (Gina) Engel and their children Sean, Austin, and Eyob of Massachusetts; cousin Kim (Tony) Hurtig and their children Heidi and Andy Hurtig of Kansas; cousin Dan (Kathy) Held and their children Hannah and Mason of Arkansas. In addition, his passing left many wonderful friends from across the globe that he loved. Tim was a 1998 graduate of St. John Jesuit High School where he played football. In addition to attending and graduating from the University of Dayton with a Major in Mechanical Engineering with a Minor in Biomedical Engineering, Tim attended the University of Limerick in Ireland. Also, he was working on a degree in business. His career took him to many places – West Coast, East Coast, Nashville, and Australia to name a few. He made and remained friends with many individuals along the way. As an individual, he made it his mission to make people laugh even if at times it might have been a bit irreverent. He had a knack for retelling a story with the exact accent and words of the people he encountered. He set extremely high expectations for his life. He also was a jokester and a risk-taker – always seeking the next challenge. He was artistic, leaving his parents a pencil drawing of the family pet. In addition, he played the piano and guitar. He was a true left-brain and right-brain individual, which can be a challenging personality. He was always inquisitive – seeking to understand everything such as how things worked, the world, and his place in it. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, John and Caroline Wall and Arvine and Rose Engel, along with all of their siblings. We are sure that he is now in the care of God and probably telling a joke. We shall miss him more than words can express. Many hearts are hurting. Services will be held on Saturday, December 5, 2015, at St. Joan of Arc, 5856 Heatherdowns, Toledo, Ohio. Our wish is that friends and family will meet starting at 9:00 a.m. at St. Joan of Arc for a time of sharing thoughts and love for Tim. A Mass will follow at 10:00 a.m. at the church. Internment of Tim’s ashes will be a private family affair at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice. Immediately following the Mass, it is the family’s wish that friends and family join us for a luncheon to continue to celebrate Tim. The place of the luncheon will be announced after Mass. Coyle Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
