Timothy Birchall Obituary

East Lyme - Timothy J. Birchall, 64, passed away peacefully with his family by his side at Hartford Hospital Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, just days after his birthday.

Born Oct. 28, 1961, and raised in East Lyme, Tim was the beloved son of the late Ronald and Nancy Birchall. He was known for his quick wit, big heart, and the way he could make anyone laugh. Racing and life's simple joys brought him true happiness.

Tim is deeply missed by his daughter, Madison Levesque; his son-in-law, Garret; his sisters, Pamela Husereau (Joseph) and Kimberly Birchall; and a large extended family who loved him dearly. He was predeceased by his brother, R. Jeffery Birchall.

A Celebration of Life will be held in Spring 2026 at the Niantic Sportsmen Club, where family and friends will gather to honor a man who brought so much love and laughter to those around him.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Thomas L. Neilan & Sons Funeral Homes, 48 Grand Street, Niantic. For online condolences, please visit www.neilanfuneralhome.com

I was so sad to hear about Tim passing, I have known him since middle school. Every time I saw him, he had a smile. We talked a lot about racing. Godspeed, Tim, you will not be forgotten.
