Timothy Ryan Leopold, 56, passed away on December 20, 2025, one day after his birthday. Timothy was born on December 19, 1969, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Scott G. Leopold and Cheryl Leopold.

Timothy was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater, where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing.
