You would have been 45 today. My heart aches at this thought. I tell my littles about you especially when listening to music or visiting an art museum or walking through the woods. I miss you every day.

Happy Birthday Tim-bay! I think about the level of existence and love you shared with any and all. I'm wiser, stronger and (hopefully) funnier for have having you as my Bubotz. Best friend, guide, consult, mentor, brother. There are so many other roles you played but as my Bubotz, your legacy and tales will carry on forever. I love you Timmer, miss you more than most can grasp. I'm going to spend some time looking into the stars tonight, hoping I'll see you shine down upon me and Jen, our love and marriage has your fingerprints all over it, you counseled us, loved us and made us laugh...pretty much instantaneously and congruently. You will always live in our hearts and are missed beyond any fathomable extent. Bubotz forever.

Timmy, I think about you all the time, and miss you, but days like today are harder than others. There will be toast going out to you tonight. You were an amazing person, and it was an honor to be able to call you a friend.
Knowing you made me a better person.
Happy Birthday Timmy!

Timmy, I think about you every day. I love you more than anyone could understand. I miss you more than anything or anyone could possibly be missed. I'm getting married this week, I wanted more than anything for you to be by my side, and you will. You will always be at my side, in my heart and a piece of my soul forever. I'm in no rush but I anticipate the moment that we are reunited. There is no such thing as time in the honor and respect of the love and brotherhood we shared. I know you are with me always, I love you Timmer.

Tim was a friend to strangers and that is the best thing any of us can ever be. I will forever remember pondering life with Tim on the banks of the Red Cedar or around a bonfire atop Campus Hill. My thoughts and prayers are with the Morton family. I am thankful to have had Tim as my friend.

I will always remember how Tim would always go out of his way to make strangers and locals alike feel special. His sense of humor and easy-going way was an unusual combination of both funny and delightful. He helped me through many a difficult afternoon, and, although it had been a few years since I had seen him, I will feel sad that he is no longer with us.

Morton Family, my sincerest condolences. I can say with the utmost conviction that Tim was one of the finest young men I had the pleasure of coaching. It was young men like him that made it so enjoyable to coach. His infectious, charismatic personality shall live forever in my mind. I loved him and was proud of him like a son.

No words can possibly do justice to so profound a loss. I wish the best to his family and closest friends during this devastating time. I hope you will find some comfort in celebrating a life that was such a comfort to so many others. I truly cherish the funny memories I have of a guy I considered a wonderful person, and a beautiful spirit. We will really miss you, Tim.

I could spend all day, trying to think of the right words, but I know from my own losses (my parents were both killed in a car accident 4 months ago), that there are no right words. I knew Tim in high school. He was a great guy, and I enjoyed the time I got to spend with him. I will always have those memories. To those of you who are grieving for his loss, I know it is not easy. I pray for God to be with you and to give you the strength to grieve, to cry, to remember. It's not an easy path to travel, but travel it you must.

Timmer was the real deal. He was an accomplished athlete, a scholar and lover of culture, and one of the most energetic comedians the the world will ever know. Those of us who had the pleasure of spending time with Tim Morton will never forget his infectious good humor and joyous outlook on life. We will all miss him.

It's a very terrible loss. I cannot explain the impact he had on my life while working with him at Dusty's. He made all the hard things seem so easy, I took a little piece of that and still carry it around. The world will be different without someone like Tim around. My heart goes out to his family and friends at this sad time.

I am extremely saddened to hear of Tim passing. He and I became very good friends while working together at the Silver Lead Wholesale Art Warehouse some years ago. And while I hadn't spoken with Tim in quite some time, I often thought of him, and the fond memories that I will never forget from our friendship. Playing hacky sack and warhouse baseball on our breaks, and our lunch hours hanging out at Gier Park and occasionaly at Champs bar are some of those memories. Timmer was an amazing person, he truly did make the World a better place with his presence alone. He always knew how to make me smile and laugh! My family thought the world of Tim as well, we ate dinner at my parents house quite a few times back then, and they often spoke fondly of Tim. My heart goes out to Tim's family. May you find peace in knowing that Tim has found his.

Tim was a wonderfully charismatic man. His sense of humor made it a joy to work with him. He had a way of making everyone feel like they were a close, life long friend no matter how well they knew him. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his friends and family as we are all mourning the loss of a great man.
April 26, 2010
Dear John and Paula, Our hearts and prayers are with you in your moments of grief and sadness. May your wonderful memories of a smiling son hold you up. We remember him from hockey many years ago as a smiling boy who always made us laugh. How wonderful that you are celebrating his life.

Tim was the most amazing man I have ever known. His sense of humor - no matter how inappropriate at times- was unrivaled. Tim taught me of artists like Keith Haring and Kandinsky. He taught me to appreciate all genres of music and that it was possible to listen to Vivaldi, Beastie Boys and Jane's Addiction in the same sitting. He taught me strength and to never apologize for who I was- he certainly didn't. A part of my soul is missing with his absence. His smile could light up a room and he could get you to laugh even when you thought you couldn't. My life was forever changed and were it not for Tim I would not be the person I am today. I am a better person for having loved him. I hope that you find peace in the stars Timmy D. You will forever be in my heart.

When I think of Tim, I smile. I think of his exquisite dance moves (jumping through the leg), his body of inappropriate jokes, his rapturous storytelling, bowling backwards, hip hop in the van, MBC. His contagious laugh. In my eyes, he was, and still is the brightest of lights. I will always hold him, and memories dear to my heart...John, Beth, Mr. and Mrs. Morton, Izzy, Ayden, Gaven, Jackson, April, Sparky, Brandy, Ash...and continue the list...my love and thoughts are with you at every moment...

Timmer was and always be one of the best friends I will ever know. His special way of saying the most offensive things to you and make you laugh about it was something you don't find just anywhere. He demonstrated so much compassion and love in every action and extended it to everyone he met. Tim taught me patience and humor, he showed me how to find the light side of any situation. His talents and passions were rare attributes that those of us that knew him recognize and will always be better people for encountering. My love for Tim is infinite. I will always love him and he will find eternity in my memories, the stories I tell and the man I have become through having the honor of having his as my best friend.

i remember being the only freshman on the Okemos hockey team and getting the usual razzing from most of the players...including Tim...and one day...as I was walking home...I hear this car horn...it was Tim...offering me a ride home in the middle of winter...and it was at that time that he told me about the fraternity of being on the hockey team...he didn't have to like me...but it was about respect. Tim was a powerful person and I will miss him.
