Timothy J. Bresnahan III

Timothy J. Bresnahan III, died unexpectedly on August 10, 2024 with his loving family by his side in Gainesville, GA. Born in Lynn, MA on February 29, 1956, he was the son of the late Gloria T. Bresnahan (Healey) and the late Timothy J. Bresnahan Jr.  He was raised and educated in Danvers, MA and was a graduate of St. John’s Preparatory School in Danvers, MA. Tim was a proud veteran of the US Air Force. He served for almost five years, during 1977-1981, stationed in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Guam. During his time in the service, he was a Sergeant in the Military Police. After the service, he went back to college and obtained a degree in Computer Science from Salem State and then pursued a successful career as a software developer.

Tim was born with a golf club in his hands. Anyone who knows Tim, knows what a sharp and talented golfer he was. He was a caddy in his youth and his parents owned a driving range where he worked and hit balls almost daily. He golfed all during his military career with his Air Force pals, and he participated in several different golf leagues over the years. He always enjoyed a friendly side bet or competition with his friends. He also played hockey into his early 40’s and was an avid Bruins fan. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, fishing, boating, taking his two dogs for mountain hikes, taking risks, adventure, fantasy football, going to the casino on occasion, and driving fast cars/jet skis/ATVs. Tim loved meeting new people and could strike up a conversation with anyone.  Most importantly he loved spending time with his family, when they could all get together.

He is survived by his children, Susan M. Bresnahan of Hampstead, NH; Cara M. Bresnahan of Salem, NH; and Nicholas T. Bresnahan of Burlington, VT; sisters Paula Bresnahan and Anne J. Bresnahan; brother, James K. Bresnahan; his only granddaughter Keira Dupont; niece Lauren A. Messinger of Beverly Farms; great-nieces Penelope and Lucy Messinger; several cousins; his most beloved dogs, Zeus and Zoey; his children’s supportive and loving mother, Lori Bresnahan; and many friends.

He was an active member of the VFW Post 7807 and American Legion Post 23 in Hiawassee, GA. The VFW hosted a wonderful memorial service for Tim on August 13.
