Timothy McGowan Obituary
Tim grew up in Hingham and worked at the Sub Galley throughout high school and college. After attending Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island, Tim pursued a career in the culinary arts. He worked as the executive chef for Johnson and Johnson in Raynham. Tim was an avid Boston sports fan. He enjoyed fishing and family trips to Bridgton, Maine and Cape Cod, where many memories were made. He will be remembered for his generosity and sense of humor. He always put others ahead of himself. As his last act of generosity, Tim improved the lives of other by becoming an organ donor.
He was the cherished son of Mary "Sis" and Tom McGowan of Bridgewater. Loving brother of Greg McGowan and his partner Heather; Kevin McGowan and his wife Rachel, all of Weymouth; and Caitlin Carey of Braintree. Proud uncle of Brynn, Sean, Maddie , Jack McGowan and Harper Ringius. Beloved partner of Jen Poirier and her daughter Val. Also survived by his loyal canine companion, Comet.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to greet the family during the visiting hours on Saturday 4/27/24 from 2-6 PM in the McDonald Keohane Funeral Home SOUTH WEYMOUTH at 809 Main Street (Rte 18 opp. So. Shore Hospital). In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Tim may be made to the Home for Little Wanderers, 10 Guest St., Boston, MA 02135 or Amego, Inc.

I first met Tim almost 20 years ago. I did the repairs on the equipment at J and J and met a young Tim working there. Great sense of humor. Just found out about Tim and I´m devastated. Can´t believe I´ll never get to talk with him again. Will miss Tim. So sorry for his family.

Tim was my little brother. Love him dearly. I'm 12 years older than him and he'd always give me advice. Tim would help anyone who needed it. He's going to be missed. A lot. If there is a heaven, then it just became a better place. Gonna miss ya Timbo. Loved you a ton, from day one. Thank you for loving my children the way you did. You've helped them grow. Thank you. Love u Bud.

nervous at college for the first time i quickly became friends with tim. he was a much better friend to me than i ever was to him. got me through my first serious breakup by making me laugh all of the time. met his parents and i found how a real family works. i wouldn´t be the same had we never met. i´m sorry for his family and never properly spending time with him post college. an impressive man whom i thought would surely surpass my years. I am happy that i had the chance to know him and am lucky to have considered him a friend.
