Tim Ketchum Obituary, Death Idaho, U.S. — June 2025 — The online food and wellness community is mourning the sudden and heartbreaking loss of Tim Ketchum, the beloved husband of Carolyn Ketchum, founder of the popular low-carb blog All Day I Dream About Food. Tim passed away last week in Idaho at the age of 53, leaving behind his wife, three children, and a legacy of warmth, laughter, and love.
In an emotional message shared with her followers, Carolyn described the devastating moment:
“These are the hardest words I will ever have to write. My husband, Tim Ketchum, died suddenly last week of what was first thought to be an abdominal aneurysm. Doctors now believe he may have had a genetic connective tissue disorder that weakened the structure of his aorta.”
Tim was more than a supportive partner—he was Carolyn’s best friend, her confidante, her constant. Over the years, he became a familiar, if often unseen, figure behind the scenes of her work, helping raise their three children and sharing in the challenges and joys of life.
“He was my partner in every sense of the word,” Carolyn wrote. “And oh, he was such an amazing father. He shared the burden of raising our three children with gusto, being present in a way that most dads will never be.”
Those who knew Tim remember a man who lit up rooms and hearts. Whether close friends or brief acquaintances, many have shared stories of his kindness, charm, and infectious sense of humor.
“Even people who only met him in passing were charmed by him,” Carolyn said. “Warm, compassionate, loving, thoughtful. And funny as hell! I fell in love with him because he made me laugh.”
Though his passing has left a profound void, Tim’s memory lives on in the countless lives he touched—with his kindness, his humor, and his unwavering devotion to family.
In her tribute, Carolyn reminded readers of the simple, enduring bond that carried them through everything:
“Even as life became more complicated and serious, we never lost that connection, that goofiness and silliness that made every situation easier to bear.”
Tim Ketchum will be deeply missed by his loved ones and the wider community that embraced him through Carolyn’s work.
