Timothy Irvin Nowaczyk

October 6, 1953 - May 17, 2020

Timothy I. Nowaczyk, age 66, of Leesburg, VA, passed away on Sunday, May 17, 2020, at his home in Leesburg, VA. Born Tuesday, October 6, 1953 in Munster, Indiana, he was the son of the late Raymond and the late Phyllis (Lawrence) Nowaczyk and fond brother to Christopher Nowaczyk who preceded him death. Tim was a devoted husband and father to his wife Nora (née Cross) Nowaczyk and his daughters; Ainsley, Cecily and Gwendolyn Nowaczyk, as well as Crumpet. Tim will be missed by a host of loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and long-time friends from around the world who cherished his kindness, marveled at his industry and admired his engineering acumen. Tim was a dedicated Naval officer serving as a reservist for 30 years and for extended active duty during recent operations in the Middle East, retiring as a Captain in 2013. Tim was a knowledge management specialist and valued colleague at the Defense Intelligence Agency since 2004. Not content with being the first in his family to graduate from college, Tim also earned a Master’s in Business Administration and distinguished himself with multiple certifications specific to his military duties. Tim was an avid traveler, enthusiastically adding stamps to his passport and finding new favorite destinations with his family. Of course, as a Naval officer, he particularly loved cruising with Nora and the girls. He also loved working with his hands in the home and garden, where his projects were his pride and joy. A Mass of Christian burial will be held at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church on Friday May 22, 2020 with just the family present due to the pandemic.
