Timothy Drapeau

DWIGHT— Timothy James Drapeau, 40 of Dwight, and formerly of Coal City, died Nov. 27, 2022.
Born Feb. 6, 1982 in Whittier, CA, Timothy James was the son of John Drapeau of California and Vicke (Trujillo) Drapeau of Dwight. He moved to Coal City in 1988, where he was raised and graduated from Coal City High School with the Class of 2001.
A ‘Jack of all trades’, Tim was a self-employed handyman, who was proficient in carpentry and roofing. His ability to take things apart and put them back together also complimented his love of working on cars. Tim liked to stay busy. He enjoyed video games and fishing, but most of all on his days off, Tim enjoyed spending time with his son. He was always helpful and one who made an impact on those whom he met. Tim will be remembered as a fun guy with an incredibly beautiful smile.
Survivors include his mother, Vicke Drapeau; father, John Drapeau; one son Aidan of Dwight; four siblings: Kristie (Craig) Dock of Coal City, Alisha Drapeau of Odell, IL and Teena Drapeau and Ryan Drapeau, both of California; nieces and nephews, Destinie Drapeau and Victoria Ybarra-Drapeau, and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
