William Timothy Dedula

William Timothy "Tim" Dedula, 66, of Westerville, Ohio, passed away on February 8, 2026, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer.

Born on August 5, 1959, in Cleveland, Ohio, Tim was the son of the late Patricia Dedula and the late Peter Dedula. After earning his associate degree from Cuyahoga Community College, Tim began a 38-year career at the NASA Glenn Research Center. He dedicated most of his tenure to the education office, where he combined his technical expertise with a passion for inspiring future generations.

A true enthusiast of technology, Tim loved tinkering with computers and enjoyed photography. He also found great entertainment in the world of dog shows, which he followed faithfully over the years.

Tim is survived by his brothers, Tom (Carla) and Jim Dedula; and his niece and nephew, Renee and Aaron Dedula. He was preceded in death by his parents, Patricia and Peter.

Family and friends are invited to a visitation on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions, Northeast Chapel, 3047 E. Dublin Granville Rd., Columbus, OH 43231.

In accordance with Tim’s wishes, no religious service will be held. A private burial will take place at Resurrection Cemetery in Lewis Center. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to a cancer research organization of your choice, such as the American Cancer Society, to help others in their fight against the disease.
