Timothy John Essaye, 75, Vero Beach

September 17, 1945 – August 10, 2021

Timothy John Essaye, 75, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away August 10, 2021.

Born September 17, 1945, in County Cork, Ireland, Tim was the son of the late John & Josephine McCarthy Essaye.

Mr. Essaye served as an officer in the British Merchant Navy and traveled the world before moving to the United States in the late 1960’s to begin a career on Wall Street.

After 20 years as a securities trader in New York, he moved his family and business to Vero Beach in 1989 where he lived and worked until his passing.

He was an avid outdoorsman, and enjoyed offshore fishing and wing shooting. While he became a US citizen later in life, he never lost his Irish spirit, and friends could always count on finding him at a local pub dispensing pints, advice and bear hugs in equal measure. Those will surely be what we’ll all miss most.

In addition to his parents, Tim was preceded in death by his loving wife of 45 years, Mary Jo Reilly Essaye.

He is survived by his sons, Tim Essaye, Jr. (Emily) and Tom Essaye (Alison); four grandchildren, Danielle, Lillian, Thomas and Abigail; and many other loving family and friends.

A Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, August 19th 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 500 Iris Lane, Vero Beach, FL 32963.
