Tim was a great guy. He could solve the Rubik's Cube before anyone else even knew what it was. Tim went to our church for a while in high school and I think he graduated early from college if I recall correctly--before any of us in the Simley class of 82. He will be missed.

I can't believe it's been 3 years since you went home to the Lord. My memories revolve around our childhood and many late night playing tag, kick the can etc. Keep resting peacefully. You are truly missed and loved

My son and I love watching Tim's creations on the internet and I can't believe I am just now learning of his passing. My son, who has high functioning autism, taught himself the many weaves and techniques Tim used by watching his videos. He has even come up with some of his own weaves that he dreamed of showing to Tim one day. He seemed like such a brilliant, kind man. The world is a worse place without him in it. I feel like it's a real testimony to him that though I never was fortunate enough to meet him, my heart is broken and I can't quit crying over the loss of this great man. My heartfelt condolences to his family, thank you for sharing him with us. I know his work will live on through the internet, inspiring more kids like mine and bringing them and their families joy. Rest In Peace, Kinetic King.

I just found out about Tim passing away and I can't stop crying. He was a great friend to me and I miss him very much. He was a very talented and wonderful man. I wish I would have kept in touch with him more.

I went to school with Tim and graduated with him. He was so kind and the only person who ever called me by my given name. He would sit down in his desk and say hi Debra to which I would say hello Timothy. He would laugh that infectious laugh and say no, it's just Tim. He knew being called Debra bugged me so bad haha. I would see him next hour in a different class and he would do it all over again. I still feel he is the smartest person I have ever met in my life and am very proud of all his accomplishments. Teach the Angels how to beautify heaven even more with stick bombs!!!!!

Time was unique. Tim played Underwater Hockey with me on the Minnesota Loons for several years. No matter how things went he always had a smile on his face at the end of the game.

Tim was amazing. Enthusiastically spreading stick bomb making. Glad I knew him and was always happy to hear and see his kinetic adventures .
He has passed on too soon.

I met Tim when we both worked at the Ramsey County Courthouse. He was always so friendly and helpful. I was very happy for him and his success as The Kinetic King on America's Got Talent and on YouTube. I will miss running into him in the Skyways and our quick chats, catching up on each other's life events. My condolences to Tim's family and friends.

Tim was a true original. He was the smartest and most creative person I've ever had the pleasure to meet. He had a brilliant mind and unlimited energy, and was so full of ideas and plans that it breaks my heart to speak of him in the past tense. In addition to his kinetic art, Tim was a gifted writer and photographer. He could do everything and he did everything so well. His laughter and enthusiasm were infectious. I am so lucky I got to know him and support him while he was on "America's Got Talent" and in his other creative endeavors. RIP, my friend.

I remember when Timmy could solve the Rubix Cube in 90 seconds or less. I was about 8-10 and thought he could walk on water due to this fact. I'll never forget how in awe I was.
