Timothy Gene "Timmy" Gillespie, 66, of Morgantown, passed away on Saturday, February 14, 2026. He was born January 23, 1960, in Morgantown, a beloved son of Jean Carlin Gillespie and the late Vaughn Gillespie.

Timmy attended Valley Daycare for 29 years, where he was a familiar and cherished presence. He truly loved being around people and had a way of brightening the days of those who knew him. Timmy found happiness in life's simple pleasures; car rides, rocking in his chair, and relaxing bubble baths, but nothing brought him more joy than his Kentucky Fried Chicken.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his brother, Thomas Gillespie.

A graveside service will be held at Beverly Hills Memorial Gardens on Friday, February 20, 2026, at 12:00 p.m., with Pastor Stacy Chrise-Tritt officiating.
