Timothy Joseph D'Arelli (58), son of Joseph D'Arelli and Linda D'Arelli, was born on May 30, 1967, in Jersey City, New Jersey. In his earliest years he lived in Secaucus, New Jersey and numerous other places before moving to Old Bridge, NJ. Tim was still in grade school and spent so much time playing baseball, football, riding bikes; he just loved being outside with his friends and family. Tim could tell you all things sports. He was a lifelong Mets fan, wrestling fan and he loved the Steelers growing up. Even as a child Tim would listen to sports radio and would fall asleep to it. He also shared a love of Elvis with his mother. He enjoyed taking trips to Daytona Beach, Florida with his family in his younger years. Timothy graduated from Madison Central High School in 1987. He was a manager in retail for years and lived in various other places: Florida, Alabama and then finally Wichita, Kansas. In 1997, Tim married the love of his life Sherrie Lynn D'Arelli and they were married 27 years. Tim and Sherrie fostered many children– they prayed long and hard for a child, and in 1999 those prayers were answered when Elijah came into their world. Being a father to Elijah and husband to Sherrie was the light of Tim's world.

Tim was predeceased by Sherrie in December of 2024. Timothy D'Arelli departed this life on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at his home where he lived with Elijah, Sophia and his beloved grandson Gianni D'Arelli. Timothy's faith in God was evident throughout his life, but his relationship was solidified in his final years. Timothy is predeceased by his wife Sherrie D'Arelli, his mother Linda D'Arelli, his father-in-law Albert Cook, mother-in-law Patricia Cook, and brother- in-law Nathan Cook.
