Timothy Leach

Timothy S. “Tim” Leach, 50, of Clinton, sadly passed away as he fought a very long and difficult battle with leukemia (AML) and gained his angel wings Nov. 26, with family by his side. He was predeceased by his Nannie (Albina), Grampie (Edmond), uncle (Vic), godfather (Bruce), mother-in-law (Jean), father-in-law (Richard); and two beloved “furry kids,” Jagger and Shadow.

Tim is survived by his devoted wife Tara “Hon/My Bride;” his three children, of whom he was very proud, Zachary Tyler “Scoob”, Kiera Marie “Bug/Bunny”, and Trevor Matthew “Boo” and his best (fur) buddy, Chase; his mother RoseMary Krajewski; his father Steven Leach; stepfather Ronald Krajewski; his sister Christa (Dan) Barnes; two nieces, Riley Olivia and Kennedy Rose; Auntie (Grandsire); cousins, Lori and Chuck (Sarah) Grandsire; godmother Diane; several aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law.

Besides Tim’s beloved family and many wonderful friends, his passions included riding his Harley (especially “scraping” the floor boards with his mom on the back), watching football and Bruins games with his boys and a daily goodnight message with his “Daddy’s Girl/Bun.” Tim also enjoyed watching the Giants, Red Sox, and of course, NASCAR (especially with his dad).

Tim’s younger years included weekends with extended family and racing; and he always talked about “boning shad” with his Nannie, whom he adored and would spend much of his time with. Tim also had a very close connection with his Grampie and had a special momentum/cassette tape that Tim’s oldest son, Zach, made into a CD for Christmas 2020. Tim had cherished that gift!

Tim was a licensed electrician for 25 years and most recently was employed at Total Mechanical Systems in Plainville. Tim and his family were extremely grateful with the care and concern that TMS extended to them during this very difficult path.

The family would like to extend our sincere gratefulness to the oncology and hematology teams at Smilow Cancer Center at Yale. There were so many wonderful doctors, nurses and specialists that took care of Tim and developed a wonderful relationship with him. Tim fought a very courageous battle and his perseverance got him through the last two years.

“Rest easy, Hon. You are at peace now. Sleep Sleep . . . “
