Timothy W. “Tim” Forsythe, Jr, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of strength, faith, and endurance that will never be forgotten. He was born in Willoughby, Ohio to Timothy W. Forsythe, Sr. and Roseanna Earls Forsythe. For the last eight years, Tim had served as the Associate Pastor of Students and Families at Trinity Baptist Church in Manchester. He was a devoted husband, father, son, and friend, deeply cherished by those who knew him. Tim had a way of making people feel at ease-whether through his sense of humor, his steady presence, or simple kindness he showed in everyday moments. He valued his family and his church. Above all else, he loved Jesus with all his heart and lived in service to Him. Throughout his life, Tim faced challenges with courage and determination. Even in difficult times, he showed a remarkable ability to keep going, often putting others before himself. His strength was not just in how he endured, but in how he cared- for his family, his friends, and anyone who needed him. Tim was preceded in death by his precious sister, Melanie Forsythe. He is survived by his loving wife, Kelly; his five sons, William, Abe, Judd, Tucker, and Abel; his loving parents, Tim Sr. and Roseanna Forsythe; and his adored sister, Amanda. They will all carry forward his memory and the lessons he taught through his actions: patience, faith, and love. Tim will be deeply missed, but his impact will remain in the lives he touched. His memory will live on in shared stories, quiet moments of reflection, and the enduring love of those who knew him. Visitation was held on Monday, April 20, 2026 at Trinity Baptist Church in Manchester from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. A service to honor and celebrate his life began at 1 p.m. with Jerry Pullum, Tim Forsythe, Sr. and Jim Patton officiating. Burial followed at Franklin Memorial Gardens in Winchester. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Trinity Baptist Church “Together We Grow” Building Fund.
