Timothy J. Rozanski

Age 63. Loving partner of Catherine Marie Rios. Dear brother of Susan (William) Napoleone, late Cathy Ann Rozanski, Walter (Carol), Ronald (Suzi), Richard (Deanne), Jerome (Laurie) and Michael (Karen) Rozanski. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents Walter and Emily Rozanski. Tim passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of dedication, friendship, and cherished memories. In his later years, he faced a difficult battle with Parkinson’s disease, which progressed rapidly. Throughout his illness, he demonstrated remarkable courage, determination, and resilience. For 40 years, he built a distinguished career as a Systems Engineer in Mainframe Operations Management at Ford Motor Company, where his expertise, professionalism, and commitment earned the respect of colleagues and friends alike.

A devoted member of the Father Saylor Knights of Columbus for 35 years, he was actively involved in the council’s bowling and golf leagues, forming lasting friendships through his participation and service. His faith, fellowship, and community involvement were important parts of his life.

He found great joy in the outdoors and loved spending time camping with family and friends. At home, he shared a special bond with his beloved cat, Kawa, affectionately known as "Kitty Kitty," who brought him years of companionship and happiness. He was also known for his love of cooking where he would prepare his famous ribs and brisket on his grill and smoker. He took particular pride in roasting whole pigs for special occasions. One of his greatest sources of pride was his Mustang Convertible. Whether cruising on a sunny day or carefully maintaining it, the car reflected his appreciation for both craftsmanship and adventure. A passionate fan of University of Michigan football, he was a season ticket holder for many years and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on the Wolverines. Saturdays in the fall were often spent supporting his team with enthusiasm and pride. His familiar rallying cry, “Go Blue!” will be fondly remembered by those who knew him. Tim will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all whose lives he touched. His warmth, loyalty, sense of humor, and love for the simple pleasures in life leave a lasting legacy that will not be forgotten. Though Parkinson’s disease brought significant challenges in his final years, it never diminished the impact he had on those around him or the love he shared with family and friends. 

Go Blue!
