VERONA - Timothy J. “Tim” Kennedy passed away on Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023. He was born in Bethesda, Md., and spent his early childhood in Tampa, Fla. Tim grew up playing soccer, basketball and track. He moved with his parents to Verona, Wis., in middle school. He continued playing soccer in high school and with his club team. He graduated from Verona Area High School in 2007. He attended UW-Milwaukee and Madison College trying to find his passion.

While looking for his life’s purpose, he met his fiancée, Jordan. Together, they established a life together. They went camping, hiking, to music concerts, and loved to be in the outdoors. They traveled to Mexico, the Netherlands, Italy and Peru. Tim kept his love of soccer and was able to watch some of the World Cup games in an Italian café with his cousins. Besides Jordan, his greatest love and joy was his daughter. Tim found his purpose being a girl dad and trying to pass on his love of soccer to her. Tim looked forward to one day taking his daughter hiking in Jim Thorpe, Pa., and to Disney World, where he spent so many happy days. It was his kindness and joy of life which drew people to him.

Tim is survived by his parents, Marty and Mary Anne Kennedy; his fiancée, Jordan Ziegler; his daughter, Serah Helen; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and oh so many friends. He is preceded in death by both his paternal and maternal grandparents and an uncle.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at ST. THOMAS AQUINAS CATHOLIC CHURCH, 602 Everglade Drive, Madison, at 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 9, 2023.
