Timothy Sean Mize

Tim, you were an amazing soul that I did not get to see enough, but when I did I always looked forward to it. I always looked up to you and thought of you as one of the coolest people I know and am very proud to have called you friend. You were always kind to me and encouraged me in my endeavors. To me Tim had a Punk Rock out look and lifestyle in the way that he lived his life his way.......to me that was more than Punk Rock music, more than the collections of cool posters at his and Jen's...

I've been thinking about you all summer. I hoped to run into you somewhere along the way...it never happened. You always put a smile on my face as yours was infectious. You made an impession on my heart and I will never forget you.

I have known Tim for over six years, as co-workers and colleagues of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Although a relatively short period of time, I felt as if I've known him all my life, and he always treated me the same way. When Tim became your friend, he remained your friend, even though there might be weeks or months between communications with one another. It's difficult to say good-bye, amigo, but rest peacefully, buddy. Good night to a sweet soul.

Tim, you never charged me for a drink at the HP. Word, dude. You rock, and are so missed already....

We love you Brother and we will be there for Jen and the babies whenever they need us. You guys always treat us like family, and we take care of our own. Miss you so much.

I first met Tim at the Rocket Bar in 1994 though our mutual friend Eric Gibbs. We shared a few drinks and about 10 minutes into our first meeting Tim said to me, "I feel like I've known you my whole life!" That captures well what Tim was able to do every time we saw one another, made me feel like I was special. I get the feeling that Tim did this for everyone he met. What an amazing gift, what a fun life! Rest in peace, good man.

We had a special friendship and I'm sorry I lost touch over the years. Super fun dude, I will remember you fondly.

From the very first time we ever met & hung out, you made me feel like we had been friends forever. Thanks for being a solid, stand-up guy- you will be missed. R.I.P. (Laffinstock rules!)

Tim, I will never forget you or your infectious smile.You will be deeply missed. I always say that the dash in-between the date of birth and the date of death is the most important part because it is the life you so very much lived. And you most certainly lived!!!..Keep Rockin my friend.
