Kenneth J. Thime

October 29, 1942 – December 7, 2022

Loving Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, and Friend.

     Kenneth John Thime, age 80, passed away in his home peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Wednesday, December 7, in Algonquin. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, on October 29, 1942. The son of Albert and Evelyn Thime. On December 18, 1966, Kenneth married his high school sweetheart, Patricia (Pat). Together they raised their children, Tracy, Scott, and Steven.

Ken was a trim carpenter by trade and loved working with his hands, renovating his current family home, which is still called “The Cottage.” He was passionate about working at the church as a Trustee, Deacon, changing the signboard out front, making calls to the members on their birthdays, and working at the local food pantry. One of the things that brought Ken so much joy was attending as many school functions and sporting activities of his grandchildren. He was an extraordinarily proud grandfather.

Ken is survived by his loving wife: Pat, children Tracy (Tommy) Cox, Scott (Pamela), Steven (Gia); and his grandchildren, Joshua, Christopher, Madison, Tyler, Teryn, Nicholas, and bonus grandsons, Sam, and Alex. He is further survived by his sister-in-law: Maribeth Crawford; sister: Patricia Fantauzzi-Raica (Larry); and many loving nieces, nephew, and cousins.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents: Albert and Evelyn Thime, and his son-in-law Tommy Cox.
