Timothy Kubicek Car Accident – Obituary: Lore City, Ohio Mourns the Tragic Loss of Beloved Community Member
Lore City, OH – August 9, 2025 — The tight-knit village of Lore City, Ohio, is grappling with heartbreak after the sudden and tragic loss of Timothy Kubicek, a well-known and deeply respected member of the local community, who died in a car accident earlier this week. The accident, which occurred on a quiet stretch of rural highway outside of Guernsey County, has left friends, family, and neighbors in profound grief.
Timothy, 42, was described by those who knew him as “a gentle soul,” “a dependable friend,” and “a true Lore City original.” His death has left a void not only in his family, but in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to call him a friend, coworker, neighbor, or mentor.
Details of the Tragic Accident
The accident took place during the early evening hours of Monday, August 4, on State Route 285, a familiar road Timothy often traveled. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, his vehicle reportedly veered off the roadway and struck a tree after what investigators believe may have been a medical emergency or mechanical failure. Emergency personnel responded swiftly, but despite their efforts, Timothy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have ruled out foul play, and the investigation remains ongoing to determine whether other factors, such as weather conditions or a medical issue, may have contributed to the crash. No other vehicles were involved.
A Life Rooted in Family, Faith, and Hard Work
Born on February 14, 1983, in Cambridge, Ohio, Timothy Kubicek was a lifelong resident of Lore City. He graduated from Buckeye Trail High School and worked for nearly two decades in the construction and home renovation industry, where his attention to detail and strong work ethic earned him a reputation for excellence.
He was known not only for his skilled craftsmanship but for the way he treated people — with kindness, patience, and humility. Timothy took pride in building homes, fixing what others couldn’t, and showing up when it mattered most. Whether it was helping a neighbor shovel a driveway, fixing a broken fence, or volunteering to help at the local church, his contributions were always quiet but impactful.
To his family, Timothy was a devoted son, a loving brother, and an uncle who never missed a birthday. He is survived by his parents, Roger and Linda Kubicek, his sister Megan (Kubicek) Harmon, brother-in-law Jacob Harmon, and his two young nieces, who adored him.
“He never said no when someone needed him,” Megan shared through tears. “He was the rock of our family. Not loud or showy, but steady. Always steady.”
Tributes Pour In Across Guernsey County
Since the news of his death was made public, an outpouring of support has come from across Lore City and the surrounding towns. Friends and community members have flooded social media with condolences and fond memories, remembering Timothy for his compassion, good humor, and unfailing willingness to lend a helping hand.
“He was a friend to everyone,” wrote one neighbor. “Tim could walk into a room and immediately make you feel comfortable. He didn’t ask for recognition, but he always gave it.”
Several local businesses have placed memorial signs in their windows, and coworkers from his contracting firm wore black armbands this week in his honor.
A longtime friend, Brandon Miller, who grew up with Timothy and worked alongside him, offered a powerful tribute:
“We’ve lost a good man. A man who loved his family, worked hard, never complained, and never let you down. The world would be a better place if there were more people like Tim.”
Remembering and Honoring Timothy’s Life
A public memorial service for Timothy Kubicek will be held on Saturday, August 10, at 11:00 a.m. at Bundy-Law Funeral Home in Cambridge, Ohio. Visitation will take place the evening before, on Friday from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m., where friends, family, and colleagues are invited to share memories and pay their respects.
Following the service, Timothy will be laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery in Lore City.
The Kubicek family has expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support they’ve received from the community. In lieu of flowers, they ask that donations be made in Timothy’s honor to Habitat for Humanity of Southeast Ohio, an organization that aligns with his life’s work and passion for helping others find comfort and safety in their homes.
A Legacy Built on Quiet Strength
While Timothy Kubicek’s life was tragically cut short, his memory will live on in the lives of those he helped, the homes he built, and the hearts he touched. His legacy is one of steady love, tireless work, and selfless service. Lore City has lost not just a friend but a cornerstone of its community.
As family and friends gather to say goodbye, they carry with them the example he set — to show up for others, to be kind without needing recognition, and to build something meaningful, not just with your hands, but with your heart.
Rest in peace, Timothy. You built more than homes — you built a legacy of kindness, strength, and love that will never fade.
