Timothy John "Tim" Moran

I love you dad.

I opened the newspaper today and saw the appreciation notice from Tim's family. No, I thought, that must be a different Tim Moran. Sadly, I find out this is not so. Tim and I worked together many years ago, and then enjoyed a good friendship. I hadn't talked to him in a couple years, but interestingly, he'd been on my mind lately. I missed hearing the news of his passing as well as the celebration of life because I was, of all places, in Maui that week. I can't seem to find out what caused...

Big D Cares. Always a friend never a stranger.

Tim was such a cool guy. Each time I saw Tim, he was always so positive. I always wondered to myself- "How does this guy do it?" And his positivity and his actions, and his interactions, were always so cool- nothing every felt artificial or stressed. Tim was 100% genuine- to the core. He didn't pull punches, but he always had something good to say. I've seen him help students, and I've seen him help my friends, and each time, I saw that he was sincerely happy just for the opportunity to help....

I never met Tim, but know of him though his brother, Brian. With the memories that Brian has shared, I know that Tim was a person who made the world a better place simply because he was in it. My thoughts & prayers are with Tim's family. He will always be with you in your hearts.

Dear All, I am so very grateful to all of you for your very kind words about Tim and your love and expressions of sympathy and caring for our entire family. He truly does live in each of us and in his children and we look forward to seeing him again someday. As granddaughter Jenni said, he's up there with my mom "Grandma Bee" and she's feeing him the wonderful Dutch mints, she used to sneak to our daughter Mary "Jenni's mom" when she was a little girl.
Tim is and will be terribly missed by...

I have just discovered that the world's friend, Tim Moran is gone.

I am shocked and have feelings of deep sadness. An office e-mail which circulated today shared the news of his tribute.

I am shocked and surprised that such a gifted, healthy and smiling person, such as that wonderful and amazing spriit that he was, is gone.
I have not even known him very long and here I am writing this tribute.

It was only recently (three weeks ago) that I had the good fortune of...

To say Timmer was my college room mate is a gross over-simplification. He stayed there more often than I did, called my couch "his room", and wasn't even taking classes at the time. He was waiting tables in Corvallis (a job that allowed his true persona to shine, and for him to hone his people skills), and was well before he set his own "five year plan" into action.
Friends since Jr High, he left a lifetime of memories for me to enjoy and laugh about years later. I used to tease him that...

Aloha From Hawaii - My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
