Timothy Carmody Obituary

Timothy Vincent Carmody
Loving Husband, Dad, Grandpa, Brother and Friend

PROSPECT – Timothy Carmody, age 74, of Prospect, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Sunday, February 9, 2025. He was the adored and loving husband of Cynthia (Bergen) Carmody. Tim was born July 20, 1950, in Waterbury, Connecticut, son of the late Brendan T. and Helen M.(Corcoran) Carmody. He was a graduate of Crosby High School in Waterbury, and received a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of New Haven.

Tim worked as an engineer his whole career, bringing ideas to life, but his proudest accomplishments were outside the office. He embraced and found joy in spending time with his beautiful wife, Cynthia, his three children and six grandchildren. As a younger lad, he could be found darting around in his yellow Porsche, jumping out of airplanes, playing hockey and causing mischief with his nine brothers and sisters. He had a love for cars (especially his MINI Coopers), camping (in the rain, because that seemed to be the only option), coaching, playing and refereeing soccer, biking, walks with his grandchildren, eating, taking naps, fixing things, history and traveling the world (as indicated by the number of mini hotel shampoos and airport chocolates we all received over the years).

With his adult children and their friends, Tim was considered the quiet life of the party, always good for the occasional dad joke or story, but more well-known for listening, sipping on a glass of red wine, wearing a warm smile and soaking in as much time as he could with his friends and family.

Besides his beloved wife, Cindy, he is survived by his three children, Shawn Carmody and his wife, Christine Carmody, of Cheshire; Lauren Grenier and her husband, Eric Grenier, of Cheshire; and Meghan Soucy and her husband, Ryan Soucy, of Farmington; his six loving grandchildren, Connor, Lily, and Brooklyn Grenier, Piper and Claire Carmody, and Emma Soucy; as well as many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members, including his siblings and sister-in-law Karen Bergen, and many dear friends, including his closest friends, Paul and Carrie Ramirez. He is survived by his siblings Thomas Carmody; Patrick Carmody and his wife, Brenda Carmody; Mary D’Avino and her partner, Peter Paradis; Catherine Roberge; Margaret Jasiulevicius and her husband, Algis Jasiulevicius; Christine Carmody; John Carmody; and Brenda Carmody and her partner, Stas Sienkiewicz. He was predeceased by his brother Kevin Carmody and Kevin’s wife, Marlene Carmody.

He has left an indelible mark on everyone he met, and his legacy of being a kind, warm, funny and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend will live on forever.

Special thanks to the staff at Middlebury Complete Care, especially Debbie and Nicole for the special care they provided.
