Timothy Donald Phalen

January 20, 1970 - November 27, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Timothy Donald Phalen on November 27, 2024, at the age of 54. Beloved husband to Tracy Phalen, Tim was a loving father to Bradley and the late Kenneth, a cherished father-in-law to Jacqueline, and a proud grandfather to Kellan.

Tim was the dear son of Cyril (Jill) and the late Gloria and the devoted brother of Stephen and the late Stephanie. He will be missed by his brothers-in-law Doug (Lori), Cecil Jr, and Rob, and was predeceased by his father-in-law Cecil Sr, mother-in-law Mary, niece Krystle, and nephew Wade. Tim’s beloved fur babies, Rusty and Bentley, will feel his absence deeply, as will his many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends, all of whom he considered family. He is now reunited with his sweet Dakota.

Tim cherished summers camping with Tracy at Eden Springs, Sunday beers in the garage, and watching his Toronto Maple Leafs with an ice-cold Coors Light. He had a zest for life, from hunting down the best sales to sharing treats with anyone who visited. Known for his generosity and big heart, Tim was loved and respected by all who knew him.

A celebration of life will be held in the new year. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Sarnia Humane Society or the Canadian Diabetes Association in Tim’s memory. Arrangements are under the care of Affordable Funeral Options.
