November 17, 1963 - August 28, 2019
Timothy Alan Balogh (Tim), 55, of Paw Paw and formerly of St. Charles and Oak Forest, passed away Wednesday, August 28, 2019 at home surrounded by his loving family. Tim was born November 17, 1963 in Gary, IN, the son of Dean and Phyllis (Wood) Balogh. He married Melissa McCreery on September 27, 1997 in Tinley Park, IL.
Tim Balogh was more than just a husband, father, and friend. He was a smart, goofy, and incredibly loving family man. He enjoyed traveling, but some of his most loved times were at home playing outdoor games, especially in the pool with his kids. Tim had a competitive spirit and loved those last-minute neighborhood gatherings. His laugh and smile were infectious and his “dad jokes” made everyone crack a smile. Tim had a great love for and knowledge of music – specifically classic rock. He loved his Chicago teams, especially the Cubs and the Blackhawks, and loved watching the games with his family at home with the best seats and the greatest snacks.
Tim is survived by his wife, Missi, and children: Shelby (20), Maddie (18), Jake (15), Jamie (13), and Ally (13), brothers: Jeff (Mary Jo) of IL and Mark (Beth) of AZ; father-in-law Tom McCreery, nieces Jena (21), Lizzie (17), and nephew John (13).
Tim is preceded in death by his parents Dean and Phyllis and his mother-in-law Linda McCreery.
Visitation will be from 2-6 P.M. on Saturday, August 31, 2019 at the Torman Funeral Home, 510 Flagg St. in Paw Paw. The memorial service will be private. Cremation care will be accorded after the services. Please visit www.TormanFuneralHome.com to sign the online guest book.
I have fond childhood memories of fun times with my cousin Tim -our families visited together almost every year. He had a great sense of humor that was occasionally a little too funny for my Aunt Phyllis. Tim will be missed.
