Timothy “Timmy” Joseph Kuhn
February 18, 1969 - April 22, 2020
Timothy (Timmy) Joseph Kuhn passed away suddenly at his home on April 22, 2020 at the age of 51.
He was born in Wilmington, Delaware to Eileen Kuhn and the late Joseph Richard Kuhn. Tim grew up in Wilmington and attended Salesianum High School. After he graduated from Rowan University with a degree in Business Management, Tim started what would be a long successful career in sales management. His most recent position was as Housing Supervisor for Peace by Piece, Inc, where he touched many lives.
From a young age Tim excelled in sports, especially in football and baseball. His baseball career started playing for Naamans Little League and Del Vets and continued through high school. Tim played football for the Brandywine Warriors and Salesianum, which earned him a college football scholarship. Some of his greatest sports accomplishments were being selected for All State football and baseball and playing in the Blue Gold game. Tim’s love for sports continued as he was an avid fan of the Eagles, Phillies and college football.
As a dedicated father, Tim had a firm understanding of what was important. He treasured his children and his proudest moments revolved around them and their accomplishments. Tim had a “bigger than life,” vivacious personality and a great sense of humor which would often make him the life of the party at friend and family gatherings. He was known to have a big heart, always willing to lend a hand, and treated his many friends as family.
Tim is survived by his mother, Eileen Kuhn; his four loving children, Jaclyn (20), Kristina (18), Justin (13), Ryan (12); brother, Michael (Michelle); sister, Beverly (Christopher); brother, Gary (Tracy); nieces, Jessica, Victoria and Madison; and nephew, Chase. He was preceded in death by his father, Joseph R. Kuhn. Tim will be dearly missed by his family and friends and will forever be in our hearts.
Due to the unfortunate event of the Coronavirus, services will be held privately. A celebration of Tim’s life will be announced at a later date. All are welcome.

Mimi R Lovelace
My husband Dave and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Tim’s entire family. We knew Tim from his work with Saad Soliman at the Refuge and Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church where both of us have met with Tim in meetings discussing our church’s financial and personal volunteer work at the Refuge. Tim was wonderfully open, supportive, cheerful, encouraging, cooperative and patient. It is hard to believe he is gone from us, but we take what he taught and pass it forward. We are praying for peace and comfort for all who loved Tim and feel this tremendous loss.
With our deepest sympathy,
Mimi

The thing I remember most about Tim was his love for his family. His children were the light that made him shine! He took my son Randy to great adventure with his boys! I thought he took 3 kids until I saw the pictures and I saw 4. The 4th was Tim…the happiness I saw in his smile will last a lifetime in my memory of him. RIP Tim!

Timmy, many memories of you laughing and smiling and always upbeat. From riding your big wheel, playing little league baseball, picking you and Brendan up from Padua prom and visiting me in NYC for a yankee game. You lived life and will truly be missed but not forgotten. God has you now. Love you

I am so sorry for your loss. I was very shocked to read of his passing. Mr. Kuhn was a customer of mine at Riviera Pizza. He always came in with a smile on his face and always very pleasant. We will miss him.

Extremely saddened to hear of Tim’s passing. He was my neighbor when we lived in Rose Hill. He was instantly inviting to me and my family. I spent many a late night at his house playing pool, talking sports and listening to ’80s and ’90s music that we both loved. I have nothing but great memories of him. I’ve missed him since we’ve moved away and will continue to miss him now that he has passed. I want his family to know that he was truly appreciated by me and my family. We are so sorry for their loss. Tim was just a wonderful person to us. Gob bless him…

Our hearts are broken and we pray for the entire extended Kuhn family. Please know as your former neighbors, we grieve, but rejoice in the honor of knowing and loving your family. Tim was our sons “baby sitter”, but he was so much more than that. He was a wonderful young man, his passing is so painful. To Eileen, Tim’s children, and his sister and brothers nieces and nephews and all of his loving family. We pray for you and want you to know that even though we are far away, we are with all of you. God Bless.
