Timothy Ahern Obituary
He was born in New London Oct. 14, 1962, the son of John and Rosemarie (Petrizzi) Ahern. Tim grew up in New London and attended St. Mary's School. He played basketball and baseball with his childhood friends, many of whom he remained close to all his life. Tim graduated New London High School in 1980. Shortly after graduating, he joined the Laborers International Union of North America Local 547, where he was still an active member. He worked on many major construction projects, including Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods.
Tim married Heather Mislivets Nov. 12, 2013, in San Diego. He and his wife were constant companions, enjoying surfing, stand-up paddling, snowboarding and golf. They loved visiting southern California and adventuring to Costa Rica together. Their favorite pastime was riding motorcycles side-by-side. Tim was a proud and respected member of the Branded Ones motorcycle club. He will be greatly missed by his motorcycle club community, who take comfort in the thought that he is reunited with his neighbor, friend, co-worker and club brother, Ben Labonosky, who lost his life in a tragic accident last year.
Tim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son and brother. His memory will be cherished by his wife, Heather Mislivets-Ahern; his mother, Rosemarie (Petrizzi) Ahern of Waterford; two daughters, Jessica Garcia and her husband Esteban of East Lyme, and Erika Ahern of Mystic; their mother, Sherrie Martin; his brother, John Ahern and his wife Deirdre Passero Ahern of Salem; his sister, Sue Ann Lewellen and her husband Jeff of Oakdale. Tim will also be sadly missed by his grandchildren, Diego and Paloma Garcia; nephews, Vito Trento, Joseph Trento and Brian Ahern; and his niece, Colleen Ahern.
Tim was predeceased by his father, John C. Ahern.
Calling hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20, at Impellitteri-Malia Funeral Home, 84 Montauk Ave., New London. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 12 noon Friday, Dec. 21, at St. Joseph Church, 149 Montauk Ave., New London. Burial will be private.

I don't think I will ever be able to put into words how much it has meant to me to have gained the friendship of both Tim & Heather in the past year and a half. They are two of the most kind-hearted, loyal and giving friends I have have the pleasure of knowing. It is of no surprise to me why my father held Tim and their friendship in high regard.
I will cherish your memory forever and regret only that I did not get to know you and Heather much sooner. I will always hold dear the memory of riding alongside you during our motorcycle-memorial that you lovingly helped up plan for my dad this past summer.
I send my heartfelt condolences to Heather, Tim's family, friends, coworkers and MC Brothers.

I don't think I will ever be able to fully express how much gaining the friendship of Tim & Heather in the past year and a half has meant to me. They are two of the most kind-hearted, loyal and giving people I have had the fortune to know. It does not surprise me why my Dad held Tim and their friendship in such high-regard.
I will Cherish your memory forever and am thankful for your having been a light in my life, especially during a difficult time.
I send my heartfelt condolences to Heather, all of his family, co-workers and also to his MC-Brothers. <3
