Timothy C. “Timmy C” Cessna, 61, of Fairfield, passed away at 12:05pm on Friday, November 21, 2025, at his home.
Timmy was born on February 27, 1964, in Sacramento, KY, to Hugh “Cigar” Cessna and Shirley (Evans) Embry, and also Denny and Connie Cessna. He married the love of his life, Terri (Compton) Cessna, and they had shared 25 years together.
Timmy was a friend to everyone and could know their whole life story after a few minutes of talking to them. He was an avid Kentucky Wildcat fan for life. His life revolved around his grandchildren, sports, Kentucky, family, and friends. You could often find him playing corn hole, hosting a fundraiser for those in need, in the stands at a ballgame, or at home with his dog, Bear.
When he first moved to Fairfield, he worked at Airtex Products and played slow-pitch softball, making countless friends and many good memories. Timmy also worked for Walgreens before his health declined. He umpired many softball games and reffed countless basketball games. To know him was to love him and the stories could last a lifetime.
Survivors include his wife Terri Cessna of Fairfield, his children Jordan (Tessa) Cessna of Evansville, IN, Laurna (Andrew) Diesel, Kayla Cessna, and Kendra (Rabbit) Cessna all of Fairfield, his grandchildren Keaton Diesel, Kendall Diesel, Mackenzie Francis, Reagan Cessna, Remi Cessna, and Ryla Cessna, his siblings Troy (Lesia) Cessna of Morgantown, KY, Chris (Melissa) Cessna of Sacramento, KY, and Maisie Cessna of Owensboro, KY, along with several nieces, nephews, and friends who were like family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his aunt and uncle Denny and Connie Cessna, his brother Terry Cessna, and his beloved dog, Bear.
