Timothy Ronald Getsay, age 58, of North Oaks, passed away peacefully on April 3, 2026.
Born on August 19, 1967, in Marion, Ohio, Tim was the son of Ronald and Carol Getsay. He attended Kenyon College and later The Ohio State University, where he continued to develop his sharp mind and steady work ethic before building a successful career in Healthcare Operations and Information Technology.
On April 17, 2004, Tim married the love of his life, Jennifer Karpinski Getsay, in Nashville, Tennessee. Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and unwavering support for one another.
Tim was a devoted husband and an extraordinary father. A passionate sports enthusiast, he found great joy in coaching his son's baseball and football teams and was a constant presence on the sidelines. He never missed a game, a practice, or a moment that mattered. He was equally dedicated to his daughter, proudly attending every dance performance, always cheering her on with quiet pride and encouragement.
Tim will be remembered for his tender smile, calm and steady demeanor, quick wit, and deep compassion for others. He had a way of making people feel seen and supported, offering kindness without hesitation and humor at just the right moment. His presence brought comfort to those around him, and his love for his family was evident in everything he did.
He is preceded in death by his father, Ronald Getsay.
Tim is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer; his mother, Carol Getsay; his cherished children, Benjamin Ronald Getsay and Katherine Grace Getsay; his brother, Mark Getsay; and his adored golden retriever, Lainey.
Tim's legacy lives on through the family he loved so deeply and the countless lives he touched with his kindness, generosity, and quiet strength.
A celebration of Tim's life will be held on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at 2 p.m. at Mueller Memorial, 4738 Bald Eagle Ave, White Bear Lake. Visitation will begin at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
