Timothy John Henschel, age 65, of Paducah, Kentucky passed away on Friday, September 2, 2022 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Tim was born on May 28, 1957 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Florida State University before obtaining his Masters in Business Administration from the American College of London. He began his career managing country clubs in Florida and ended his career working as a financial advisor with MetLife in Paducah, Kentucky. He was a former member of First Presbyterian Church and then became a member of Broadway United Methodist Church. He loved quietly helping anyone in need, especially children. He was an active volunteer for years with the KEYS II program at First Presbyterian and devoted supporter and Past President of the Board with the Child Watch Counseling and Advocacy Center.
Tim enjoyed staying active and having adventures with his friends and family. He was an avid sailor, fly fisherman, and loved riding his bicycle. He wanted to travel, show his children the world, and give them every experience possible. More than anything though, Tim loved being at home with his children and wife, cooking gourmet food, and listening to good music. His goal was to make his children laugh every day and he endeavored to instill values of honesty, compassion, and hard work. He was known for his award-winning Bananas Foster and his intelligent wit. He was kind, generous, and always willing to help.
Tim is survived by his wife of 16 years, Deanna Wise Henschel; his four children, Annie, Truitt, Nora, and James; his mother, Marjorie Anne Henschel; his siblings, Jill Henschel, Karen Henschel, and Rob Henschel (Dottie Shepperd); his in-laws, John C.
