IN LOVING MEMORY

Timothy Borbas

Mar 14 1962 - Mar 27 2015

Deacon Timothy Borbas, 53, a permanent Deacon assigned to St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Community, McKinney, Texas passed away and entered into everlasting life with Jesus on Friday, March 27, 2015 in McKinney, Texas.

He was born in Bluefield, West Virginia to the late Louis J. Borbas, Sr. and Frances Nagy Borbas. Timothy’s childhood years were spent in Nemours, West Virginia.

He graduated Magnum Cum Lade from West Virginia University with a degree in Petroleum Engineering in 1984. His professional career began as a Petroleum Engineer with ConocoPhillips Company where he worked for more than twenty-seven years and retired in July of 2012. Later that same year Tim and Gina relocated to McKinney, Texas to begin a new opportunity with Denbury Resources, Inc. in Plano, Texas where he has been working as a Senior Petroleum Advisor.

Timothy was ordained Deacon, February 26, 2000, by Bishop Edward J. O’Donnell, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette Louisiana. His first assignment was to his home parish of St. Edmond Catholic Church in Lafayette, Louisiana, where he served until mid 2002. On a professional career assignment, he and his wife, Gina, transferred to the Houston area where he continued his Deaconate for the next ten years at St. Edith Stein Catholic Community in Katy, Texas. In September of 2012, they moved to McKinney, Texas where he has served since at their current parish of St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Community.

He loves the Lord Jesus, his family, and his many parish families. Timothy found great delight in family game nights, racquet ball with friends, vegetables and flower gardening, eating his homegrown tomatoes and just about any type of ice cream! His great gift to us was the light of Christ he carried in his daily life through service, generosity and kindness to all. He was a devoted husband of thirty-one years to Gina, and loving father to his daughter, Ragan and son-in-law Michael Savedra.

Timothy is survived by his wife, Gina J. Borbas; daughter Ragan M. Savedra and husband Michael; brothers, Louis Joseph Borbas, Jr. and wife Kitty of Lancaster, CA; Patrick Michael Borbas of Martinsville, Virginia; and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great- nephews, and many godchildren.

He was preceded in death by his son, Caleb Emmanuel Jones Borbas; father, Louis J. Borbas, Sr.; mother, Frances N. Borbas and brother, Stephen Borbas.

A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 1, 2015 at St. Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Church in McKinney, Texas with Reverend Father Don Zeiler and Reverend Father Jovita Okoli officiating. Timothy will be laid to rest in Princeton, West Virginia on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. The family will receive friends during a visitation on Tuesday, March 31, 2015 with a Christian Wake Service starting at 7:00pm at St. Gabriel. Attendees are encouraged to bring a memory of Timothy to share with those present.

A reception will immediately follow in the St. Gabriel Community Center.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made to: St Vincent de Paul Society c/o St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Community, 110 St. Gabriel Way, McKinney, Texas 75071. Tim's heart was always about serving and helping others. The St Vincent de Paul Society is founded on this principle.
