Timothy Brandon Gillespie

Timothy Brandon Gillespie, born January 22nd, 1988, left us on Friday, August 30th, 2024. Timothy was preceded in death by his older brother, Brandon, and grandparents Shirley Gillespie and Dean & Neomi Hascall. Survived by his parents, Tim & Theresa Gillespie, sister Jennifer (Chris Kraus), brother Brian, grandfather Howard Gillespie, nieces Maiah Sanderson and Liyah Gillespie-Kraus, and nephews Brandon Sanderson and John Gillespie-Kraus, as well as many loving aunts, uncles and cousins, and his beloved dog, Juno.

Timothy was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and enjoyed an early childhood in Bloomington, Illinois and Kansas City North, Missouri, before moving back to Omaha in 1996. He graduated from Westside High School and Mount Marty University (South Dakota), and attended the University of Nebraska. He spent many years working with his parents at Off The Wall Indoor Soccer, and was a member of the Iron Workers' Local Union 21 in Omaha.

Timothy was a powerful athlete (soccer, weight-lifting and running), an avid dog lover, and was enamored with welding and working with steel. Timothy loved the outdoors, but most notably Timothy was a musician who spent hours daily playing his guitars, and writing and singing songs with his sister Jennifer. Rough-and-tumble on the outside (with many scars to prove it), he had a heart of gold with a desire to help those needing a helping hand, and a deep love for his family.

All memorial donations will benefit St. Gerald youth music programs.
