Huske, Timothy James Was born in Elgin, IL on January 16, 1976 to James and Laurie (Sheppard) Huske. He passed away December 15 in Chicago, IL. He attended Washington Grade School, Larkin High School, and Northern Illinois University. While Tim's life on this earth was short, he packed it full of interesting experiences, which he relished. He had a passion for the Arts, politics and was a voracious reader. He loved nature, and was happiest when he could be hiking and exploring. His family enjoyed his quirky sense of humor, his artwork, and his "movie ratings", and admired his courage and tenacity when life was very difficult for him. Tim's passing leaves a big void in his large family. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harold and Ruth Huske and Bob and Marian Sheppard, Uncle Jerry Huske, Aunts Sue (Huske) O'Leary and Joan Prell.

Oh weariness here, O ache, here! Deep peace, a soft white dove to you; Deep peace, a quiet rain to you; Deep peace, an ebbing wave to you! Deep peace, pure white of the moon to you; Deep peace, pure green of the grass to you; Deep peace, pure brown of the living earth to you; Deep peace, pure gray of the dew to you; Deep peace, pure blue of the sky to you! Deep peace of the running wave to you, Deep peace of the flowing air to you, Deep peace of the quiet Earth to you, Deep peace of the Flock of Stars to You. Deep Peace of the Son of Peace to You. Deep peace, Deep Peace. A celebration of Tim's life will be held on Sunday, December 18, 2011 from 4-8 P.M at Wait Ross Allanson Funeral and Cremation Services 51 Center St. Elgin IL.
