Timothy Vaughn Benge

Tim you are up in Heaven with our Lord & Savior. He always take the good ones early....I should know. Your happy-go-lucky attitude, consumate smile, and unwavering friendship will always be remembered. I will never foget our road trip to SF for the Stones concert. Arriving at your sister's door in the middle of night, and then getting little to no sleep. One of the BEST moments in my life! RIP my friend!

I will never forget Tim nor stop loving him. I will always cherish the good times we shared, his intelligence, wit, generosity and sunny personality. Thank you, Cleborne and Annabelle, for making the world a better place by sharing Tim with us. All my love to the Benge family at this most difficult time.

Tim was so very special. We lived just down a ways from Tim and his family all through Tim's, Randy's and David's school years in Templeton. I recall those years spent knowing and loving Tim with such pleasure. I'll always remember Tim saying "oops if she calls me Timothy I'm in trouble." I love you Tim.

I haven't seen Tim since shortly after we graduated from UCSB. We were roommates our senior year. What a great friend he was; what amazing times we shared. My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family and friends. Although he is gone, he will never be forgotten.

Although I did not grow up with Tim.
I remember Tim as being very funny and sweet, my senior year of High School. Tim was always entertaining and Happy. My condolences to all his family, from a stranger that was affected positively with his great energy, a long time ago.

To Tim's Friends and Family,

I haven't seen Tim in years, however I continued to live vicariously through him via stories from the UCSB Hung network. I can still see the mischievous look in his eyes, his joy in taking other's seemingly outrageous ideas, further embellishing them through his creative actions, beyond the originator's universe of possible. He pushed limits in many ways, humor, work, play and unlike many others who do the same, he always was a caring person,...
