So sad to hear of Tim's passing. I knew him when we were both going to College of the Redwoods and later on when he was in Washington State. He was a sweet, gentle soul and we were good friends and spent many happy times in the mountains (which he loved so much), with Gary as well.

My hugs, prayers and condolences to the family. I will look to see if I have any old photos I can post.

We miss you everyday Timmy. You always made me laugh in class no matter how upset I was. You will always be in my heart.

i miss you little man 
your first in my heart and you always will be,
i got your name inked on my body yesterday!

Uncle Timmy, I love you and miss you we had some fun times i will never forget you, love your little buddy matthew

There not a day that gose by that i dont think of you, you are missed by all lil bro, me and matthew love you so much. cant wait till the day i see you aging so i can give you a hug and a kiss

Timmy every day that goes by without your shining light is that much harder to bear. You are truly, irrevocably missed, not just by family, but by everyone blessed to have known you, however brief. And Eddie and I are proud to have known you from the beginning of your beautiful life.  Having you in our lives was an honor Timmy, that we will cherish forever.  We miss you Timmy!!  We feel you every day!!  Ally and Eddie

another day the sun is shining
and its hot with clouds
overhead flying
But with this news 
the sun dies out
and the sorrow so great
there is a drought
For the soul is gone
which is bad
cause we had a bond
Knew him for half my life
& now is gone.
But he is still my brother
even if we are
far separated
from one another.

I Love & Miss you Timmy
Little Ricky

Was at a local restaurant tonight and saw a flyer for Tim. No words will ever take away the pain, but my love and prayers are with the family.
