Obituary:
Timothy John Kettenhofen, 54, of Appleton, passed away at his home on December 10, 2014 surrounded by family. Tim was born September 24, 1960, in Appleton, the son of John and Fay (Brewster) Kettenhofen.
Tim was married to Keena Allison on March 1, 1986. Together they have two children: son, Quinn Kettenhofen (19); and daughter, Bria Kettenhofen (17). Tim will be deeply missed by his wife; parents; children and his sister Amy Kettenhofen. Tim is further missed by numerous loving family and friends.
Tim was proud to have worked at Kimberly-Clark for 31 years as an electrical engineer. He was well respected and loved by so many that worked with him. Tim was also a passionate athlete, late model race car enthusiast and woodworker. Tim was proud to have worked as crew chief on several racecar teams, finally winning the 2005 FRRC Limited Model Championship with the Tom Spierowski (1) team. After finishing his racing career, Tim became more intently focused on running. In typical Tim fashion, he set goals and achieved them, eventually qualifying for the 2011 Boston Marathon, which he ran in 3:04. Wanting to test himself further, Tim also trained in biking and swimming so that he could eventually prepare himself for the 2013 Ironman Wisconsin, which he finished in 11:10. Pretty good for an older guy with brain cancer! Tim felt strongly that his successes could never have been accomplished without the support of family, friends, and coaches.
Tim is remembered fondly for his special way of doing things, his precise meticulousness, and his organization. He was an engineer after all! He was a man who could do almost anything and always excel at it.
Everyone who knew Tim is asked to celebrate his life in their own way; perhaps by raising a glass of Sam Adams. In addition, the family asks that you perform and unsolicited act of kindness in Tim's name.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, December 20, 2014, at 11:00 AM, at First Congregational United Church of Christ, located at 724 E. SOUTH RIVER ST., in Appleton, with Rev. Stephen Savides officiating. Family and friends may visit with the family from 9:30 AM until the time of service. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to: Fox Valley Brain Tumor Coalition (fvbtc.org).
The family would like to extend a special thanks to all of the people at ThedaCare at Home Hospice and Cherry Meadows Hospice.
