Timothy Daniel Breen-McKay

Tim and I shared the NYMA experience, including the rifle team. Although we were many years apart at NYMA we developed a good friendship over the years. I am very sorry to hear this he was a kind soul and a shining light in this world. RIP Tim; friend and fellow Cadet!

Rifle team 2004.

RIP Tim, you will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. I worked with Tim at Wilson Farms in Lexington and had the pleasure of hanging out with him outside of work many times. A great person, a gentle soul, and he always made me laugh. We tried our best to stay in touch once he moved to Florida and I wish I had an opportunity to meet in person again. Until we meet again my friend

Sorry to hear how young God took you. Always said hello when we met and passed on the path. You always were very happy and smiling.

Had the pleasure of going to school with him. at first to be honest I didnt think we were getting along. but found out we had a lot more common. we ended up having a really dope conversation and I hold a few lessons from that conversation with me till this day. I appreciate that time. keep rockin on my G. my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Tim and I were new cadets at Alpha company at the same time. I remember how easy going and funny he was. Lots of laughs and counter strike that year. He will be missed.

I knew Tim when I was a cadet at NYMA. He was always there to lend a helping hand and put a smile on your face. We remained in touch all these years and he would always check in with a kind comment and reminisce on fond memories. He is gone from us too soon and my heart breaks for his family and loved ones. Keeping you all in my prayers. Be Thou At Peace Brother

Oh my sweet dear friend how you will be missed. I remember you as a cadet at NYMA - and then keeping in touch with us after your graduation and the years after. We have always been proud of you and loved you, and it just rocks my heart that you are no longer with us. My husband and I have always thought so highly of Tim and his love of people, animals and his kindness. SGT Penstock remembers you as one of his favorite cadets and I just remember that baby face kid in a big uniform. He will be so missed and loved.

I went to NYMA with Tim, and while always a quite kid there, he was sweet and you could tell he had a good heart. We kept intouch via facebook the last few years, and he was always a big fan of pics of my dogs. He always had a sweet or positive comment to write me. I will miss his friendliness and kind heart. I hope he is at peace watch over us Tim, your NYMA fam will always love ya kid!

I´m in complete shock. We last spoke Aug. 9th. Tim was a good friend. We met at NYMA and stayed in touch all these years. Tim will be missed. RIP bud.

"We are all here for a micro instant. We don´t fret about the eternity which preceded us, and we obsess about the eternity to follow. Yet, in the 4fh dimension of time, each moment is also an eternity. For us, mere mortals, the shame is when we waste those moments, as the sum total reverberates forever, happy or sad, as it emanated from the beginning. It is not how long we live which matters, but rather how we live."
On behalf of myself, and the Regiment of Graduates, his many friends, students, fellow alumni, instructors, and admirers, I would like to extend our deepest condolences on your loss. Tim was revered by his peers, especially his instructors and fellow graduates of the class of 2004, at the Academy, he earned lifelong respect and admiration of all whom encountered him. His undying support, guidance, and friendship was akin to a lantern in the night. May you be comforted, as we will be, with fond memories of his friendship and love.

Although I never met Timothy personally. I am a fellow alumnus of NYMA (`89) and my condolences go out to your family. Knowing he was on the rifle team like I was and graduated from there means that he was a great man with character. Rest easy cadet.
