- Timothy James O'Connor, 65, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 16, 2015 with his family by his side. The son of Charles and Gladys (Farrell) O'Connor was born on October 14, 1949 in Appleton. He married Lori Nackers of West De Pere on July 11, 1986. They had one son, Dylan, and raised him in Rothschild, WI. Tim was immensely proud of the man Dylan has become.
Tim grew up in Askeaton, Wisconsin and went to grade school at East Holland, a one-room school house. He graduated from Wrightstown High School in 1967 and later graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
He spent his career as a purchasing agent at Wausau Paper Mill, and has been an active volunteer at Ministry St. Clare's since his retirement. Tim was a strong advocate and spokesperson for the organ donation program. The last fourteen years of his life were possible because of the selfless gifts of life from his sister Colleen and a young donor named Jason S.
Tim was proud to be one hundred percent Irish, and enjoyed spending his free time in the outdoors. He loved to hunt, fish and go on camping trips with his family. He especially loved to golf, and did so every chance he got. He was kindhearted and was well known for his great sense of humor. He was dearly loved by all who knew him.
Tim is survived by his loving wife of over twenty-eight years, Lori; his cherished son, Dylan; and siblings, Maureen Grant, Monte Rio, CA, Colleen (Gary) Neuman, Greenleaf, Trish (Rick) Clark, Houston, TX and Michael (Jackie) O'Connor, De Pere. He is further survived by his parents-in-law, Harold and Judy Nackers, West De Pere; siblings-in-law Shelly (Jeff LaViolette) Nackers, New Franken, Kim Nackers, Green Bay, and Chris Nackers, West De Pere; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles and Gladys O'Connor; brother, Dan O'Connor; and brother-in-law Dan Nackers.
Family and friends may call at RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 305 North Tenth Street, De Pere from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Wednesday April 22, 2015. A memorial service will held at 6:00 pm. Please visit www.ryanfh.com to send online condolences to the O'Connor family.
