Timothy M. Dowling

Timothy Michael Dowling, 73, of Perrysburg, died unexpectedly on Monday, October 5, 2020. He was born in Toledo, the first child of Matthew and Ursula “Connie” Dowling. He attended St. Rose Grade School, St. Francis High School, and graduated from the University of Toledo. Although he started his career as a pharmacist, his second career as a sales executive took him to Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Arizona, and Cincinnati, Ohio. Tim never met a stranger. He had a gift for connecting with people and always asked questions. He enjoyed learning through reading and watching educational television. Tim is survived by his wife of 50 years, Brenda Pearson Dowling, three sons Dr. Ashley (Annie) Dowling, Bennett, and Colin Dowling, and three grandchildren Pearson, Calder, and Drayton Dowling. Also surviving are his brothers Dr. Patrick (Anne) Dowling and Matthew (Carla) Dowling, sisters Joan (Rik) Lewis and Susan (Jeff) Beasecker, brother-in-law Marvin (Vicki) Pearson, special great-niece Annabelle Beasecker, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. A celebration of life for Tim will be held at a later date. Donations can be made to the National Geographic Society or to the Alzheimer’s Association.
