I never knew Tim, but I knew his father, Troy (when we were all carefree teenagers who were going to rule the world someday), and recognized Tim instantly as Troy's son... same eyes, same smile, same deep family love. Troy, and wife/mother Roxanne, my heartfelt condolences go out to you for your untimely, tragic loss. We expect our children to outlive US. There is no greater pain on this earth than to lose a child... Prayers for healing and comfort go out to your family, and may Tim forever be in the hearts of his loved ones, and the eyes of his children, and grandchildren, and...

Dear Tim,
I wish that we could have spent more time together. You always had that beautiful smile on your face. You always had a positive outlook on life. I loved spending time with you and gabe. I know that I never got to tell you this, but I love you, always have. Through the storms and when the rainbows set we were always drawn to each other. Thank you for being there for me and helping me move into my apartment when no one else was there to help. Miss you, love you always, your friend Amy S.

Roses are red
Voilets are blue
My life changed
When I met you
You and Alicia blessed me with a beautiful baby boy
Mr. Bradlee Back brings me such JOY!
You have a part of my heart Tim that no one may understand
Your kind and giving nature is the best in the land.
You saved a letter I wrote you 7 years ago
I am so touched that you didn't let it go
Your journey through life made you the man you are today
You touched so many lives what more can I say
I miss you so much it hurts my dear friend
but life is short until we meet again!
Love you more than many can possibly understand.
Always, Christa :)
