Timothy A. Cannon

Timothy A. Cannon Sr., affectionately known as Tim or Tip of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was born on January 10, 1980, at Beebe Medical Center to the late Geraldine Cannon (Pettyjohn) and Anthony Rew. Timothy departed this life March 19, 2025, at Beebe Medical Center. Tim was 45 years old.

Tim was a member of Bethel AME Church in Milton, Delaware. In his younger years he attended Sunday School and was an armor-bearer.

Tim attended Rehoboth Elementary School, Sheilds Middle School, and Cape Henlopen High School where he played football in his freshman year as a tight end and went on to play running back for the varsity team. Tim’s motto “hit hard and leave everything out there.”

Tim had numerous jobs, he was a chef, he worked at Allen Food, GoHo’s, Iron Hill, and Atlantic Sands Hotel where he loved to do nothing. He also worked for the City of Rehoboth. He was glad to get in after all the years our "his" Uncle Kenneth was there.

Tim loved playing football he was an avid Pittsburgh Steeler fan. He loved cooking, eating out, sweet snacks, his dogs, and spending time with family.
Tim did not do drama, take pictures, or tolerate people calling him Timmy.

Tim was preceded in death by his mother Geraldine Cannon Pettyjohn; paternal grandparents Roy and Evelyn Rew; maternal grandparents John and Kathryn Cannon; brother Michael Cannon, two uncles Earl Smith Jr. and Kenneth Cannon and one aunt Ida White.

Tim is survived by seven children: Timesha, Tyera, Timothy Jr., set of twins Jeremiah and Timiah, Tanoshia, and Stef; one brother Kevin Cannon; one sister Crystal Cannon; two nephews Kavoun Cannon and Kevin Cannon Jr.; two nieces Unique Cannon and Kiya Cannon; two special cousins Kenneth Piper and Stacy Piper; one uncle Keith Cannon and a host of cousins.

The family would like to thank everyone for your acts of kindness during this journey in our lives now without Tim.
