All my sympathy to Tim's family and friends. Tim was a wonderful presence at Spruce Lake Park.  Each summer we would travel from Nebraska for our two week vacation. Tim spent time with my sons while they fished and played around the grounds. He just came to be part of our summer fun. He was a wonderful man with a friendly smile and always, always would stop to talk and say hi. I think Tim will be remembered fondly by people from all over the United States.

Uncle Tim was a wonderful awesome and unique person. He is missed by so many. We were so lucky to have him as a part of our family. But he will forever live in our hearts and on our minds. We promise to keep his spirit alive, on behalf of his parents Ruth and Leon Mayhew, his sister Dawn Sanchez and Myself his neice Amber Arguelles, my sister Autumn Clark and my husband and children Jose, Diego and Aleyna Arguelles. We love you Tim so very much and we will miss you forever, but we will soon meet again. Love you!

We just can't believe that we will not have a chance to run into Tim this summer!  We knew him at Spruce Lake R/V Park and would see him about town since then.  Last year, it was while coming down the stairs at the hospital, he was going up the stairs to see a new Grandbaby.  He loved his family so much.
We had so much fun knowing him.  We were glad that you,Rita and your family, made him so happy. 
   Please take care of yourself.
Best wishes to all of Tim's family.

A journey continues on a path without end,
Another daunting peak, another perilous climb, a river, a valley, on a mountain sublime.
Pause to consider, and question the pines,
The answers come floating on a breeze
In a distant canyon, hidden by fate.
The bugle of a bull elk!
Natureâ???Ts sweetest call beckons,
Nay, begs, â???oThis way, Friend.â??
As a pause is taken to rest a wearied body,
Motivation bugles in the ear and lets one know,
Permission is granted to pass through Godâ???Ts most beautiful country,
tracking the Elk of the heavenly snow.

Dearest Rita and Family,
It is hard to express the sadness, that Mike and I felt when hearing of Tim's illness and death.  We remember fondly of when we first met you two in country swing classes all those many years ago. Oh, the times we had!
We loved the stories of Tim's adventures in the wilds. Now there was a true Mountain Man, and that smile! He turly was a great person and will be missed.  Our thoughts are with you all, please take care of yourself.
Mike & Zenny Hund

Rita, we met Tim the 1st. year he worked at Spruce Lake.  We fell in love with him and his cowboy nature. The last time we saw you both was at Sam's about 3 yrs. ago. We send our love and heartfelt sympathy. Take care of yourself.

So sorry to read about Tim in the Estes Park News.  Tim was always one of my favorite fellow employees at the Town.  I knew I could always count on Tim to get the job done no mater what the conditions and to always have a smile when he was doing it.  He told great stories (most of which I think were true!)and I always enjoyed a conversation with him.  I will miss him greatly.  Please know that he left a lasting legacy in people's hearts.

We were shocked to learn of Tim's passing.  We met Tim while spending our summers at Spruce Lake RV Park.  Tim was a gentle man who will be missed by all who were privileged to know him!

Dear Wendy, Rita and family. There are no words. Having just lost my Dad in April, I can only say that I understand you're pain. Tim was truly an amazing human being, and one of my favorites forever. The loss of someone so amazing is a true tragedy, but we are all better people for having known and loved someone so genuine and decent as him. You are all in my prayers. He will be deeply missed.

Rita and family
When I saw the red tail hawk fly over the arena at the beginning of the service, I knew Tim was there just one more time for all of his family and friends - just checking in to make sure it all went right. 
As the ceremony concluded, we noticed the big yellow butterfly fly by the stands, we knew then it was time for him to go. I will miss working with Tim, having his friendship - somehow the sidewalks and parking lot were always shoveled when I got to work...this was just a sign of how kind he was to all he knew. Best Regards, Lori Mitchell

I am sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Rita, While working at Prudential with you I will never forget one of the sweetest acts of love from Tim for you when he came in the back door of the office in his workclothes & boots covered with mud.  In his hand he had a bouquet of wild flowers that he had just picked for you. That was so Tim and a ""Perfect 10"". I can't express how badly I feel for your loss.

Rita, Wendy, Dan, Gage and Jade, We are so sorry for your loss. We will always remember Tim for his unwavering support for the football and basketball team. He was at every game and always the loudest and most supportive fan. The games will be much quieter without him there. He will be missed.
Brad, Robin, Amber and David

Dear Rita and Family,
   Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family at this time of sadness.  Tim was and will always be a special blessing in our lives.  He was always wearing a big smile, his big cowboy hat and always had something nice to say.  
   We can remember him talking about building your home and how he never thought he would finish but he loved every minute he spent putting your dreams  together with his own two hands.
   I will miss taking Tim and his crew donuts during the rodeo but will never forget the wonderful times he has brought into our lives.  God Bless you as you travel this road and know that we will forever carry Tim in our hearts.
God Bless

Just being there ... this was my take on the many below-zero days spent in a goose hunting blind or chansing elk up and down mountains with Tim ""Virgil"" Mayhew and Michael ""Virgil"" Harcek. As much as I enjoyed the company, Tim was there to provide food in an enjoyable way for the family that he cared so deeply for. To Rita, Wendy, Amy, Jason & Gage, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredible string of events.
I first met Tim down at Lake Estes back in 1991 while he was fishing ... friendly and knowledgable from the get-go. He helped get me a part-time ... which lead to full-time job at the Fairgrounds and was a person I looked up to and learned from in the equine atmosphere. He was tough, but fair. And although you didn't have to always get it perfect, you had to at least attempt to give it your best shot.
Tim was a great husband, father, grandfather ... and friend to myself and all who knew him. As one-half of the ""Duke & Jingles"" fairgrounds crew, it was an honor to know, work, hunt and experience life with Tim ""Virgil"" Mayhew.
I always talked to him about ""just being there."" Until we get ""there"", we will miss him dearly.
Take care, Virgil - we love you.

Hello I was friend of Tim ,Kelly& Dawn we lived across the road on wooden rd in Mich we were all kids and Tim alway's was hunting and doing everything he was doing in Colorado sorry that he had to leave us at such a young age and condolence's to his wife & Family

Words cannot express the saddness in my heart, knowing my friend Tim has gone on too his next adventure.  As Manager of the Hunter/Jumper Shows, Tim always made my job so much easier.  Tim could make things work , even it seemed impossible.  More importantly, I will miss my friend.

We will thank God upon our every remembrance of Tim.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him.  Our prayers and sympathies to his family and many friends.

The best we can say of Tim and the best that can be said of any man is that ""he was a man to ride the river with.

Timmy Mayhew...
We were lucky enough to know Tim for the last 16 years. What a wonderful mountain man he was. Always a sweet smile and a story. He will always be in our hearts and we will truly miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rita and the family.

I was granted the wish to be able to work with Tim for the last five summers, I must say they were the best summers that I've ever had. Tim was a person that anyone can look up to and learn from. He inspired me, taught me, and pushed me so much. I will always respect him for everything that he ever did for me. He loved his family so so much, every time he saw Rita he welcomed her with a kiss. I have heard so many endless stories about all his kids and grandkids, what a neat Dad and Grandpa he was. I just hope that I can inspire as many people in my life as Tim did. I dont think any one will have feet big enough to fill Tim's shoes. I will miss him greatly. Happy hunting Tim.

What memories I have of Tim and a true friend he will always be.  A true ""mountain man"".  We exchanged many hunting stories, but mine never outdid his.  I always have and will continue to share his stories with my own boys. I will truly miss him.  Our prayers are with Rita, his family and friends.

This was clearly a man who loved what he did in this life.  That in itself is a wonderful legacy.  We are so saddened to hear of his death, especially to his parents, on the loss of their second son.  No one should ever have to experience that kind of heartache.  All of our love and prayers go out to all of his family at this, such a time of tremendous loss and with thanks for helping in creating such a nice guy. Bless you all.

Rita and Family,
 We are so Sorry to hear of the untimely death of Tim.May God give each of you Peace and Comfort in the day's ahead.

After reading what everybody has said about my cousin Tim, who I have not been in contact with for so long. He turned out to be the man that all men dream of being. My thoughts go out to his wife, and family. Uncle Leon , Aunt Ruth and Cousin Dawn, my prayers are with you, and I am so sorry that I can not make his service. I will be thinking and praying here in Michigan during that though.
 With Love

To me Tim was a MAN of his WORD.He did everything with a smile and happy heart. Always sure that what we needed got done, if it didn't look right he would fix it.He was an idea man. I really counted on him with our (EPEC)trail classes and he never let me down!
My Blessings to you his family, he loved you so. Thank you for sharing Tim. I will miss him greatly.

Rita, we send our condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.  May God, our Heavenly Father, give you comfort and peace. Your cousins,

We were so very sorry to hear of Tim's untimely death.  Our deepest sympathy to Rita, his children, parents and family.
Tim was a special person that we were blessed to know when he first arrived in Estes Park and came to work for us at Spruce Lake.  He was a true Mountain Man and a true friend.  His spirit will live on.
God Bless, Rudy and Mary Hyatt

Tim was a good and true man, dependable and loyal. May the hunting be forever good for him now

We have been blessed to have Tim & Rita as our neighbors. Tim we will always miss you. You were so kind and wonderful to all of us. Our prayers are with your family. God be with you all.

I have many fond memories of Tim and his stories. I know he truly loved Rita nd the kids!

What a sad day it is to loose such a good man. I worked at True Value in Estes Park before I moved to NY. It was always a treat when Tim came in to buy one of his many hunting licenses. He always had a kind word, a great sense of humor and of course a story or two. I am so sorry your family has suffered such a great loss. Tim and his family will be in my prayers.

Tim, 
You will truly be missed.  What a wonderful friend you were and how we loved listening to your stories and experiences.  
We know you will be the Great White Hunter in your new home.  We will always remember you!  
Cherie Burgwardt

I have just been on the phone with Connie Boschen....we were talking about all of the wonderful times that we had, building Christmas parade floats with Timmy. There are endless stories and memories.  Connie has just moved to San Clemente, Ca. and does not have her  computer set up yet....she has asked that I convey this message for her.
""Timmy, a gentle man....I could not have done the Christmas parade for 14 years without him.....a true friend....Love Ya Timmy.""
Connie and I could always count on Tim to help us get the Christmas parade down the street...no challenge was to big for him, his quiet gentle spirit, his great sense of humor, and that disarming smile made working with him a joy and a privilege. I am honored and humbled to be able to say...... Tim Mayhew was a friend of mine.
