Timothy James "Tim, Timmy" Mikulsky

Timothy James "Tim" Mikulsky, affectionately known as Timmy, passed away on August 17, 2025, in Wappingers Falls, New York, at the age of 23. Born on August 30, 2001, in Peekskill, New York, Timothy brought a unique light into the world-one marked by quiet strength, deep compassion, and unwavering faith.

From a young age, Timothy displayed a remarkable curiosity and creativity. As a child, he spent countless hours building intricate Lego sets or inventing his own designs. These early passions evolved into a love for technology; as an adult, his "Legos" became computer parts. He had a natural talent for building computers from scratch and was fluent in coding-so much so that he often taught others online. His sister would watch him in awe as he mentored others in programming languages she couldn't begin to understand.

Timothy's faith was the cornerstone of his life. At just five years old, he began his relationship with God -- a moment so profound that he immediately ran to the neighbor's house to share the good news. His enthusiasm was so intense that it startled his young friend and even prompted the friend's parent to send him home. That same passion endured throughout his life. As a teenager, Timothy once spent two heartfelt hours on the phone witnessing to his Uncle Eddie. Afterward, he called his grandmother in tears and said, "Grandma, I am so sorry. I really really tried. But Uncle Eddie wouldn't listen." His sincerity and spiritual conviction left lasting impressions on those around him.

Timothy was deeply devoted to his family. He is lovingly remembered by his mother Delsie; father Walter; brother Andrew; sister Jenny; and grandmother Delsie. He held each of them close to his heart and showed his love through quiet acts of service and steadfast support. Though not always spontaneous by nature, if you needed help, Timothy would be there-no questions asked.

He admired and respected his brother Andrew and eagerly anticipated his visits during the holidays. To his sister Jenny, he was both protector and chauffeur - driving her not only to college but also on Dunkin' Donuts runs with a smile (or at least a resigned nod). When their mother returned to work evening shifts, Timothy stepped up as the family cook without hesitation. He also stood by her side through many difficult years with quiet resilience and care. And he always helped his father with projects around the house and helped him with his games. Especially when there was a difficult part to beat. And many a time, he drove to Grandma's house to get her TV going again because she hit the wrong button.

Animals held a special place in Timothy's heart-especially Mitzi, the family's rescued dog who had suffered abuse before finding her way into their home. With gentle patience and love, Timothy helped Mitzi grow comfortable with human touch again. He was always coming downstairs to hug, kiss, and play with the dogs-his affection for them as genuine as it was healing.

Timothy's legacy is one of quiet strength, deep faith, and unwavering love for those closest to him. His presence will be deeply missed but forever cherished by all who knew him.

His Family will gather with Friends on Friday, August 22nd from 4-8PM at the DELEHANTY FUNERAL HOME, 64 East Main Street, Wappingers Falls, New York; where a Celebration of His Life will be held at 6:30PM. His Family will gather with Friends again on Saturday, August 23 for a 10:00AM Graveside Service at the Fishkill Rural Cemetery, 801 Route 9, Fishkill, New York.

May Timothy's memory bring comfort to those who knew him and may his spirit continue to inspire others.
