Obituary for Timothy Rosa

Timothy Rosa passed away on January 25, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and a life that touched many. He was a devoted father to his two children, Zakari and Jordyn, who were the pride and joy of his life. A loving husband to his wife Jeannette. Timothy was a loving brother to Christopher and Christina, great uncle to many nieces, nephews and a cherished son to his mother, Leonor.

Timothy was truly the definition of "what you see is what you get." He had a tough outer shell, but anyone who really knew him knew he had the softest heart inside. He loved fiercely, protected those he cared about, and always showed up when it mattered most.

He was not only an amazing family man, but also a loyal friend. Timothy had many incredibly close friends, and when they needed him, he was always there. No matter the time or situation, he showed up without hesitation offering support, strength, and love.

He was the kind of person who told you what you needed to hear, not always what you wanted to hear, and stood firm in his beliefs. Beneath that strength was a man with a huge heart who cared deeply for everyone in his life.

Timothy's presence will be missed beyond words - his laugh, his honesty, his loyalty, and the love he gave so freely. Though his time here was far too short, the memories he created will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved him.

He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, friendship, and family that will never be forgotten.
