Ada, OH. Died April 9, 2023. TJ gave sight to two people through cornea donation.

“TJ left this life doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. He got his dream job working for Harley Davidson in November 2022. He was always wrenching on a bike…trying to make it louder, faster and something no one had ever seen before.

He was known for wearing his green “Minecraft” sunglasses whenever he was on his bike. He had purchased several pairs so he would always have one to wear. Green was his favorite color. St. Patrick’s Day was his favorite holiday, as that is also the day we were married 14 years ago. He was very proud of his Irish heritage.

His daughter collects rubber ducks and TJ wore a mohawk for the past several years, even dying it green for Halloween. Our 12-year-old daughter’s name is Faith Ireland. He was the best dad. He took her to the father-daughter dance a few years in a row. She was his best gift in life, and he loved her with all his heart.”
