Obituary published on Legacy.com by Carlson Funeral Homes and Cremation Services - Brunswick on Mar. 27, 2026.
Timothy "Tim" Paul Chaplin, 68, passed away on March 25, 2026. He was born on January 24, 1958, to the late Maynard and Jean Chaplin.

Tim was a devoted husband to the late, Bonita "Gail" Chaplin, a loving father to Emily Chaplin, James Chaplin and late, Cory Chaplin, a cherished brother to his three siblings, and a dear friend to many.

He was a proud graduate of Eastlake North High School. In 1997, Tim and his wife Gail founded, owned, and operated Old Schoolhouse Catering in Litchfield. Over the years, the business became a beloved part of the community, known for its exceptional food, warm hospitality, and award-winning homemade recipes.

Tim was a faithful member of Spencer United Methodist Church and a dedicated member of Wellington Masons Lodge No. 127. In his free time, he enjoyed bowling, fishing, and gardening-simple pleasures that brought him great joy.

There will be no services held at this time. Tim will be taken to Tennessee, where he will be laid to rest alongside his beloved wife.
