To Tim's family and friends:
I played with Tim on the NWCH tennis team, and we had a friendly competition over the biology and chemistry prizes during high school. He got the prizes. I remember his smile, his brilliant hair, and his gentle soul.
Sorry for your loss.

On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of Timothy Sarr '83.
Timothy, his parents, and his siblings, William Sarr '71, James Sarr '72, Kevin Sarr '79 and Mary Sarr '80, are all valued members of the NWC family. We share the Sarr family's grief as they mourn the too-early death of their beloved son, sibling, and dear friend to many.
Please know that we will remember Timothy and all the Sarrs in a special way during our daily prayers this week and also at our next school-wide Mass. We are so very sorry for your loss.
