Dear Tim & Family:
When I stood in Copley Square that fall morning and held up my sign: I heart Wake. Thanks for being the unselfish hero of 2007, I guess that I not only expressed my feelings about you, but also the feelings of a significant amount of members of Red Sox Nation. I am honored that you included the sign on your Wikipedia's page and in your autobiography.
I am devastated by your loss at such a young age and my prayers go to Stacey and the kids. Will miss your bright blue eyes, wicked smile, your sly sense of humor, but most of all, your kind and generous heart. Love you buddy. Robert

Wake, you were the soldier for my Red Sox. There was no I or me in Tim Wakefield. There was only the team. Oh how my heart broke for you on that night in 2003. I wanted to reach into my TV and give you a hug. Then came October 2004 and that awful game 3. You walked to that mound head up, steady and strong and you saved us. We all know what happened next!!! Thank you Wake for always being there for the team. My husband and I sure enjoyed watching your knuckleball dance. It was something! Oh how we rooted for you to win 200 and I voted everyday to get you to the All Star Game. The Red Sox, Red Sox Nation and the Boston Community all owe you so much. You where one of the good ones. Gonna miss you Wake. May the angels welcome you to paradise. Rest In Peace. My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Wakefield, her children, and all of Wake's family and friends. Much love from this Born Into It Red Sox Fan.

To the Wakefield Family - our deepest condolences to all of you. Tim was such an inspiration to so many families here in Melbourne, FL. We loved being a part of the Space Coast Early Intervention Center (Now Space Coast Discovery Center) , and the Tim Wakefield Celebrity Golf Classic and Auction. Great times were had by many, with Tim being the most generous and kind man. The children always loved being visited by Tim. Our son, Bradley, loved talking to Tim.
May you rest in peace knowing you made this world a better place just by being you.

I'll never forget his 1995 season coming out of nowhere. And then for nearly 2 decades Tim did whatever was needed for the Red Sox, and they would not have broken the curse without him.

To The Wakefield Family we send our sincere condolences to you on behalf of one of the best in and out of Red Sox Nation one "Tim Wakefield". He will be sorely missed and never forgotten. May he Rest In Peace. He was kind to us when our 9 year old grandson suffered a rare and ogressive Brain Tumor back in '96'. He had the team sign a box of baseball's for 'Christopher's' Fund Raiser in Brighton, MA. Never to be forgotten, that's the type of man he was and we the family will never forget the contact he had with our family at a time of need. Our Grandson will meet him again in Heaven.

Dear Wakefield family, words cannot express the deep sadness that has engulfed me this week upon hearing the shocking news of Tim´s illness and sudden passing, and of Stacy´s illness too. God will certainly take good care of Tim after the enormous amount of good that he has done over his lifetime. He made the world a much better place, especially in Boston and in Florida, where he was my best buddy and college roommate for a few years. I gain a bit solace in reading all the heartwarming tributes that have been pouring in. I will keep your family in my daily prayer forever, wishing that God will give you all strength in the coming days & years, especially you, Stacy, as well as Trevor & Brianna. Wish I could also give big hugs to Mr & Mrs Wake (Steve & Judy), my Florida "parents" from 1986~88, and to sister Kelly. God bless you all.
