Timmothy "Timmy" Wayne Ladd, 37, of Mt. Vernon, Illinois passed away at 7:35 pm August 14, 2025, at his home. He was born May 27, 1988 in Mount Vernon, Illinois to Yvette Ladd-Stuckey and Timothy Hertenstein.

In addition to his parents, Timmy is survived by his grandparents, Ruby Ladd and Aubery Ladd; stepfather, Michael Stuckey; brothers, Perice Ladd and George Ladd and wife, Caitlin; sister, Sarai Hertenstein; nephews, Harrison Ladd and Anderson Ladd; aunts, Dicci Ladd, Shareen Ladd, Madlon Ladd, Kelly Brehm, Lisa Hertenstein; a host of cousins, and his loyal dog, Lydos AKA Mud-Butt.

Timmy was preceded in death by his great-grandmother, Bessie Massey; grandparents, Bill and Renee Hertenstein; and uncle, Pat Hertenstein.

Timmy possessed a profound passion for art and a deep love for all living things. He was an extraordinarily talented artist, whose insightful self-portraits and drawings of others captured the spirit of his subjects. Beyond his creative pursuits, Timmy found joy in nurturing plants and caring for animals, extending his kind soul to every living creature. He forged deep, genuine connections with everyone he encountered, touching lives with his remarkable empathy and warmth. Timmy was a cherished son, a loving brother, a spoiled grandson, a fun uncle, a dependable cousin, a wonderful dog dad, and a loyal friend.

Timmy will forever be remembered for his kind heart and his bright, loving spirit. May his memory be a blessing and a comfort to us all.

A private service will be held.
