Not sure what to say?

Hello my baby brother, I am thinking about you and the good times you and I had when we drove the coast from San Francisco to LA in my VW with my German Shepherd "Judge". You surfed the famous spots before they were known to the kooks. We camped on the beaches and had a blast.

Hey you! I'll see you in a few days. We'll bring some more shells for you and then lunch at Jack's. You'd love Daisy, by the way. A tiny little doll who adores her older sister. Thanksgiving was just as you'd want it, too. All the cousins got together. You were sorely missed. It was a beach day.

Tim was a huge part of my St. Brendan´s experience. Having our little band found us working on songs together and making early attempts at writing. Tim was cool but always had time for second tier dudes like me! Mom, Dad, and Bev treated me like one of the family! You all made a big difference in this kids life!

Tim was my baby brother and I will always think of him as such. He is the baby in the photo. Our summers were spent at the beach in Capitola. I gave Tim his first surfboard when he was about seven years old. Thank you to all who sent memories of my brother. I am the little girl standing next to my Aunt Shirley and Tim is in the inner tube. Our father, standing in back of Tim, had us in the ocean as babies, and that is how Tim became a waterman.

Tim, you have a big heart! You were an important part of this kids early days...playing in Hardiman´s garage, on the blacktop at SBS...practicing in the church hall...the teenage fair at the Cow Palace (thanks Bev). Always a friend and never a snob, you had time for all of us and gave your star power to the band. You´re missed but never forgotten! Still playing after all these years!

What a beautiful human being. Always consistent with his openness. Today thy a part of history is gone is an understatement for all of us who surfed with him. Forever in my heart Tim.

It was a joy to always see Tim with his smile and fun personality. Known the Pearce family for about 20 years and have ALWAYS admired their love for each other. Tim´s humility and giving nature is something I will never forget. A great man, husband and father. Love and peace to Sara, Sonny and India. RIP Tim. Konrad Habelt

Tim was a good friend. Between the surf trips and surfing at Ocean Beach and Santa Cruz, we had many great memories. The trips to The Ranch were especially fun. Watching Sonny and Sean play baseball together at SH provided time for more good conversations. We all lost a good person. My sincere condolences to Sarah, Sonny and India.
