Timothy A Albrecht

Mr. Timothy A. Albrecht, age 61 of Anna, formerly of Mundelein, passed away peacefully with several beloved family members at his side at 4:18 p.m. Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at his home after a six month battle with colon cancer. He was born April 1, 1954 in Mundelein, the son of Thomas J. Sr. and Angela (Bockhaut) Albrecht. Timothy graduated from Warren High School in 1973. He worked at Decorel and Shea's Ironworks for many years and retired from working in 2009. He was a devout Catholic and a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church in Anna and was a member of the Knights of Columbus since 1984. Timothy was an avid fisherman and a Chicago Cubs and Bears fan his entire life. He looked forward to working carnivals on weekends in the summer and did so for thirty years. Timothy is survived by his beloved and devoted older sister, JoAnn M. Albrecht-Shaffar whom he lived with the last fifteen years; niece Kimberly D. Shaffar and great niece, Sophie E. Shaffar who also lived with JoAnn; brother, Garon Sr. (Arlene) Albrecht; nieces and nephews, Melissa A. Shaffar, Garon (Tracy) Albrecht Jr., Dawn (James) Nierodzik; many great nieces and nephews; uncle, Charles (Helen) Bockhaut; aunts, Eleonore Peleska, and Teresa Albrecht; his loved best friend, Norman (Debbie) Kleber, their daughters and Deno, Tammy (Donnie) Sherfy, Ruby and Family; cousins; other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Thomas Albrecht Jr; sister in law, Lynn Albrecht; and nephew, Mark A. Gray. Timothy was a kind, generous and loving man who would help anyone in anyway. His memories and laughter will be cherished and remembered forever. May he fly with angels and meet his creator, and have a wonderful time in heaven fishing with his father, and nephew. Last rites were generously given by Father Federico Higuera of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Anna. The family would like to thank all of Timothy's doctors, nurses and caregivers, especially Stephanie Gibbs and Nicole Pitts for all their love, help and support during his last month at home. Services for Mr. Timothy A. Albrecht will be held privately for the family. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Albrecht family.
