It´s truly impossible to convey all of the ways a very close family member affects my life both as a friend and as a thoughtful and impactful voice. Tim wasn´t just a brother-in-law but in many ways like a close brother that I always looked forward to spending time with. Always respectful, playful, full of life and an absolutely joy to be around... I was honored that he called me his friend. God speed my friend you will always be missed.
