Timothy P. Spilchen

It is with deep sadness and hopeful faith in the promise of eternal life, that the family of Timothy Peter Spilchen announces his peaceful passing on January 6th, 2025, in Appleton, Wisconsin at the age of 62. 

Timothy was born in Sudbury, Ontario to parents Peter and Jean Spilchen. He attended Cambrian College and Sault College in Ontario. Timothy married Pamela Schooler in Thunder Bay on November 19, 1988. His career included roles in sales and business management. Through his work, he met many life-long friends across North America. 

Timothy was a devoted father and grandfather and a man of deep faith. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter Jillian (Michael) Sylla, son Ben Spilchen, and his cherished grandchildren: Owen, Jaxon, Madelyn, and Valerie. A man of prayer and conviction, he found great comfort and strength in his Catholic faith. Timothy’s kindness, generosity, and unwavering belief in God’s love and mercy touched all who knew him. 

Timothy was a passionate Notre Dame University football fan, enjoyed fishing and hunting, and savored a cup of hot coffee with sports radio playing in the background. 

Timothy was predeceased by his father Peter and sibling Joan. 

He is survived by his mother Jean and 4 siblings Robert (Charlene), Donna, Terry (Nancy), and Leah (Alan). 

He is fondly remembered by nieces and nephews from the Schooler and Spilchen families for his jubilant spirit and the endless fun he brought to the world.
