Timothy Blavesciunas

Timothy S. Blavesciunas, 45, of Swansea, IL, born July 24, 1980, passed away Sunday, December 21, 2025.

Tim spent 22 years dedicated to his career as an automobile technician at Dobbs Tire & Auto Centers.

With a deep passion for fixing things, especially cars, he took great pride in finding solutions and was always willing to lend a helping hand.
