Timothy
Prizio
Sep 12, 1967 — May 30, 2025
Timothy Prizio, beloved husband of Patricia Mink-Prizio, passed away peacefully surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren on the evening of May 30th 2025 after a long and brave battle with cancer.
Tim attended Tantasqua Regional High School, spent his youth fishing, riding dirt bikes, playing basketball with his baby sister and friends in Brookfield MA. He later married the love of his life, Patricia Mink-Prizio. They spent every day for the remainder of his life dedicated to each other.
Tim leaves behind his children, Timothy P. Gervais, Shayna Gervais-Lakotta and her daughter Ella Lakotta, Hiedi Mink and her children Lexi and Alesandrea Lewis, Jessica Millette and her husband Dominic Millette and their children Daniela, Abigail and Dominic Jr, Markilynn Fair and her children Carter, Maddox and Alex Usher, Amanda Fair and her children John and Elizabeth Cruz.
Tim is survived by his mother Phyllis Tuttle and her husband Ron South Bend, IN and his father Philip Prizio of Worcester MA.
Tim leaves his sister Christine Stewart and her husband Kevin Stewart of Brookfield MA, his brother Philip Prizio Jr of East Killingly, CT, his sister Debbie Irk and her husband Steve Irk of South Bend, IN along with many nieces and nephews.
Everybody who knew Tim knew of his dedication, devotion and commitment to his wife, Patty who will carry his memory forward with love. They spent 25 years of marriage raising the children, going on road trips, grilling, attending concerts, lazing around with his dog, watching "I love Lucy" re runs, playing Yahtzee and watching hours of New England sports. Oftentimes, Tim can he heard enthusiastically yelling at nobody in particular during a football game, except the TV.
Tim is predeceased by his cherished dog, Bruiser whom he missed dearly.
Papa Tim will be remembered for his overuse of salt and pepper, over utilization of colorful sentence enhancers when he is frustrated with broken inanimate objects as he is fixing said object, sneaking snacks to the grandkids and dogs, impeccable board/table game strategy, sarcastic humor and witty timing. When Tim was not with his wife, he enjoyed driving around the city delivering pizza listening to rock music.
Tim had a vibrant and active spirit. Throughout his journey with cancer, Tim continued to display autonomy, courage, resilience, strength, determination and hope, inspiring everyone around him, especially his children.
Tim was a deeply beloved son, father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, brother, dog owner, and friend. His passing was sudden but quick, just like he hoped it would be.
We would like to extended a heartfelt thank you to Ross and staff at Go Grande Pizza in Worcester who provided invaluable support to Tim and Patty in many ways throughout this journey.
It was his wish that we laugh and reminisce, and smile together during this time.
As promised, Tim, us girls will continue to "take care of [our] mother" just like you did.
Per Tim's request, there will be no funeral, however a private Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
Services are humbly entrusted into the care of Southcoast Funeral Homes "Celebrating A Life Well Lived"
