Timothy Mackow Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Twiford Funeral Home - Outer Banks - Manteo on Feb. 11, 2026.
Timothy James Mackow, a beloved brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on January 25, 2026, in Buxton, North Carolina, at the age of 53. Born on March 4, 1972, in Cleveland, Ohio, Timothy lived a life marked by passion, dedication, and love for those dear to him.

Timothy was the cherished son of the late James and Mary Mackow. He graduated as Valedictorian from The Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, a testament to his remarkable talent and commitment to the culinary arts. For many years, he lent his skills and expertise to The Pattie Group, where he was known not only for his precision and work ethic but also for his warm and kind-hearted nature.

A man of varied interests, Timothy found joy in cooking exquisite meals, riding his motorcycle along scenic routes, and basking in the tranquility of the ocean. He took pride in the meticulous care of his lawn, always striving to get the lines in the grass just perfect. Above all, he cherished spending time with his loved ones, a value that defined much of his life.

Timothy is survived by his devoted sisters, Laurie Apple, and Cindy Mackow; his nieces, Tyler Apple and Danielle Apple; and his nephew, Austin Mackow. His absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew him.

Services to honor and celebrate Timothy's life will be announced at a later date. Until then, his family and friends are comforted by the memories of his laughter, kindness, and the immense love he shared with those around him.

Twiford Funeral Homes, Outer Banks is assisting the family with arrangements. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.TwifordFH.com.

God bless the family, Mary and Tim were my neighbors for 16 years. This is a horrible shock. Tim and I worked in the same landscape world. Mary was a trooper for getting in the yard to keep it tidy. I'm still in shock. My family will do whatever the family needs to help out.

My heart is breaking for the Mackow family. I am so sorry for this sudden and unexpected loss.

I will always remember Tim´s passion for cooking, and how as a kid he loved candy and gum. One memory I´ve carried with me all these years is from a Christmas Eve dinner when I was about ten years old. Tim showed me a trick when pouring a glass of Pepsi - to put your finger in the foam so it wouldn´t overflow. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world.

It may seem like a small moment, but every time I pour a carbonated drink, I´m taken right back to that Christmas Eve. It´s a memory I´ll always cherish.

Tim, my fiancé forever us. I love you and miss you with all my heart and soul. I am so grateful and lucky having you in my life. We have so many happy and special times together. I promise you. My love, I will cherish us and never ever forget us.
I'm especially going to miss all your texts throughout our day and our nightly talks when our eyes watered from laughter. I'm going to miss seeing you on our special weekends together having more happiness and lots of laughter. I'm also going to miss when we would hold each other so tightly like a pretzel and kissing you. We always have great talks and you always made everything better. You always brought the best in me and I love you for that, my love.
My love I'm going to MISS YOU every second of every day and there's no one like US ever.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MY LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!
