He was born on September 24, 1993 in Beaver, to Elaine (Klavin) Rakovan with whom he resided and the late Timothy J. Rakovan. He was a member of St. Vladimir Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Ambridge. Timothy's greatest joy was serving his church where he was an altar server from age 4 to age 25. His passion was spending time with family and friends.
