Timothy S. McGrath, 33, of Tiverton, RI, formerly of Mattapoisett, passed away unexpectedly August 5, 2016.
Born in Wareham, the son of Kelly M. Johnson and her husband James of Mattapoisett and Russell Marot of Coral Springs, FL, he lived in Mattapoisett most of his life.
Tim was an accomplished and award winning chef employed at several RI area restaurants, most recently at Stone Acre Pantry in Newport.
He was a graduate of Old Rochester Regional High School, class of 2001, where he played hockey and baseball. Tim also attended Johnson & Whales University and studied Culinary Arts. Tim was also an avid New England area sports fan, noteably the Red Sox, Patriots, and Bruins.
Survivors include his parents; his daughter, Rylee Shea McGrath and son Colin T. McGrath and their mother Jaime Peninne, all of North Providence; his close friend, Monica Lozano of Rocky Hill, CT; a brother, Ryan McGrath of Mattapoisett; a sister, Jillian McGrath of Mattapoisett; 3 aunts, Tracy McGrath of Tiverton, Laurie Buler and her husband George of Rochester and Karen Kilroy of Portsmouth, RI; his uncle, John McGrath of Rochester; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was the grandson of the late Colin “Terry” McGrath with whom he shared a life long passion for fishing. Tim was most passionate about his children, extended family and friends, fishing and cooking. Tim will be surely missed by all who where blessed to know him.
