Tim is one of the finest people I have known in my 65+ years on earth. If someone who didn’t know Tim went to his life celebration service and heard all of the words spoken about him, that person would’ve said, ‘no way this can all be true.’ Yet, it was/is true. He was all that, and more. Tim is greatly missed by everyone who knew him, and I believe that he will live on in us, becoming a part of our better angels.

I am sending love, thoughts, and condolences to the Crutchfield Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Crutchfield was so kind, friendly, and welcoming when I attended SPS. He was the biggest supporter of his family and SPS athletics. He will be missed greatly.

Heather and family, my sincerest condolences for your loss. Tim was a genuinely good person, a positive force impacting everyone around him, liked and respected personally and professionally by anyone who was fortunate enough to know or work with him, as evidenced by the many entries on this page. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Oh my gosh... our hearts are absolutely broken for you, Heather, Ashley, TJ, Connor, and Maddie. We hope you can take some comfort in the fact that this world is a better place for Tim's having been a part of it... What a guy...and what a legacy leaves behind. Dave fondly remembers early-morning (pre-workday) workouts in the SPS gym as Tim dutifully pedaled the bike and simultaneously read the paper... a multitasking rehab scenario! He looked forward to their daily connection. And I (Steff) feel I got to know Tim on the lax sidelines (SPS Boys)--what sticks with me is the humility and warmth he exuded, and that winning grin, which he shared so freely. We are both hugging you all with our full hearts and would be there tomorrow if only we could. Love, love, love...

His accomplishments were many and varied, but what I will always remember is Timmy Crutchfield's million dollar smile and the mirthful laugh that always followed. There are in one's life a special few you always are glad to meet; you are lifted up and left better than you were before . A unique gift that will be sorely missed by family and friends alike. The price of knowing a good man.

Memories can fade in and out like dusk to dawn. However, the memories of Tim are like the rays of a sunny day. The brightness of the sun sends down a smile to you that reaches into your heart. Tim's memories will always be a part of us and will never fade.
Tim exemplified so many wonderful attributes: devotion, courage, dedication, commitment, selflessness, virtuousness, and the list could go on. We will always remember his love of family, friends, and even casual acquaintances. He had an innate ability to touch the lives of everyone who he came in contact with.
Although our time with Tim was shorten, we will always remember his infectious smile, welcoming eyes. and open arms that expressed his acceptance of you with no reservations. You will be in our hearts forever.
We will always love you.

Tim was one of the kindest people I will ever know. He was never without a smile and his laugh was infectious. I knew him first as a friend in the lacrosse world where our children first played together. I was fortunate enough to spend the last 12 years as a work colleague with him at NHRS. His family was very lucky to have him as a brother, husband and father. Rest in peace my friend. You are incredibly missed.

Owner of the world´s most beautiful smile, Tim was an extraordinary soul whose kindness, wisdom and warmth left an indelible mark on those of us fortunate enough to be in his orbit.
His spirituality wasn´t loud or showy-it was woven into the way he loved and lived with purpose. He saw the divine in the everyday, in people, in moments, in nature. And in his quiet strength, he reminded us that there is more to this life than what we see.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to Heather, Ashley, TJ, Connor and Madison.

My condolences to the family and friends of Tim. I went to BBHS with Tim and remember him to be kind and so outgoing. In reading his obituary, I see what a fulfilling life he led and a life of honor and grace. What a legacy to carry in his family. God bless Tim and may his beautiful life provide strength, laughter and wonderful examples of how to live a life of service, faith and integrity to his children.

Please accept my deepest condolences. While I only knew Tim from my service on the NHRS Board of Trustees, I came to regard him as a friend. His easy smile, his personal warmth, and uncommon decency made it easy to gravitate towards him, to feel as if he were a true friend. I can only imagine how much those qualities were magnified with those who shared every day of life with him. Rest easy, my friend, your race is won. May your memory be a blessing.

I had the very special pleasure of working beside Tim for five years at NHRS. The respect and admiration that I have for Tim is enormous. He adored his wife and children and his office was adorned with so very many photos and memories that he held dear. I will always remember his kindness to all and his ability to listen.
I think that God must need Tim to watch over us all and to set an example on how to be an exemplary human being.

Words can´t describe the impact that Mr. C had on each and every person he met. I was lucky enough to be one of those people. My heart is with Mrs. C and their beautiful children!

Mr. Crutchfield (I never called him Tim, even as an adult) was not a coach or a teacher of mine, but was one of my favorite people ever at St. Paul's School. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face. After I graduated and ultimately returned to Concord, I was lucky enough to bump into him frequently on campus, or at the grocery store. Again, always a smile, and always asking about my family. I was eventually lucky enough to call him a colleague as well, as we were both members of the NH Bar. Every time I returned to St. Paul's to watch sporting events or attend graduation, I hoped I would run into him, and usually I did. To Heather and the kids, you already know this, but Tim was an amazing man. I am hopeful that your many years of great memories will help you through this difficult time.
Mark Cavanaugh

I worked with Tim for the last 12 years at NHRS and he was the best boss I ever had. From the first day I met Tim, he was positive and gracious and encouraging. He always treated me as an equal: "Crutchfield & Cavanaugh, Attorneys at Law", he would say. That meant a lot and that was Tim in a nutshell. Always thining of others. On my birthday, a six pack of Mountain Dew on my desk. At the end of each year as we broke for Christmas, a big hug of appreciation. Working with him will be the most rewarding part of my 40 year career. I will sorely miss his wise guidance and counsel.

It was a privilege to know and work with Tim at NHRS. He truly was a bright light and always made time for any of his colleagues, providing a listening ear and helpful feedback or insight. Tim took great pride in his work and showed gratitude for those who worked directly with him or for him. Tim had an exceptional Eagle eye, and appreciated anyone who ensured accuracy of the written word. If you could smell hazelnut coffee brewing, that was Tim´s and he was always willing to share. He would show his fun side at work too when he´d wear his patchwork, preppy golf pants annytime our conservatively clad Executive Director went on vacation. Tim brought joy and genuine care to people and was always ready to lend a helping hand. He also lighted up whenever he talked about his family - he loved to share updates about his children and their successes. He beamed with pride. He would check in with colleagues who either got promoted, retired from NHRS, or moved on elsewhere for other opportunities - You could tell how much he valued the people he worked with and the friendships he made. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family, his siblings, and to all folks whose lives he touched. Rest in peace, Tim. Your light will shine on forever!
