Timothy Paul PACCHIANO 

Sept. 20, 1972 - July 22, 2003 Tim was born and raised in a north Seattle 
neighborhood. Tim graduated from Bishop Blanchet High School in 1990 
where he also enjoyed playing soccer. He graduated from the University of 
Washington in 1995 with a degree in communications. Tim began working in 
the IS department of the law firm of Preston Gates & Ellis in 1995. He was 
admired by many of his co-workers for hs inspiring kindness and supporting 
attitude. In 1998 Tim's blue eyes captured the attraction of a beautiful young 
redhead Rachelle. Rachelle was Tim's true love and on July 29, 2000 they 
were married. Tim and Rachelle brought their beautiful daughter Audrey Mary 
into the world on July 9, 2002. With each smile and hug the three celebrated 
daily miracles. In Sept. 2002 Tim was diagnosed with cancer. As he felt 
challenged by his health problems he never allowed the experience to break 
his spirit. Tim lived a life of example for all of us who knew him. Anyone 
who met him was truly a better person for knowing him. Tim will be 
remembered by many for the way he made people feel special, the passion and 
energy he had for life and his loved ones, and for that reassuring and sparkling 
wink. Tim is survived by his wife Rachelle; daughter, Audrey Mary; parents, 
Mary Jo and Jerry Sweeney of Seattle; sister, Lori Pacchiano, Seattle; brother, 
Ryan Pacchiano, Seattle; many aunts, uncles, cousins, and his longtime canine 
companion, Alex; and Benni the cat. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will 
be established for Audrey's benefit. Contributions may be made to Audrey M.
