Timothy Knipe

Tim was a kind soul and a good man. He carried on the Mercy mission like no other lay person I know. Like so many have said, Tim put others´ well-being before his own personal gain. A true servant of Jesus, he is now celebrating in Heaven with all the Mercy sisters that have gone before us, marked by a sign of faith.

I am saddened to hear of Tim's passing, as I literally was just speaking of him yesterday about how he blessed me with milkshakes when I was in for my c-section births!
What a blessing it was to meet and to know Tim. I am forever grateful to have been able to work alongside him at Mercy. He held high the Mission and the work of Mercy especially as a leader and a servant to many. I will always remember his infectious laugh, his commitment to see and to greet his coworkers and employees by name while asking them how they were doing, and his concern to go that extra mile to help someone in need. He was a true hero for so many reasons. We need more "Tim Knipes" in this world today. Thank you, Tim, for shining your bright light into our lives. Well done, good and faithful servant....well done!

Bill and I were both privileged to have had a close working relationship with Tim during all of our years at Mercy. He was the true embodiment of the Mercy values as defined by the Sisters of Mercy. His focus was never on himself and his own gain. It was always on others and equal opportunity. Mercy lost one of the best when he left there and the world lost one of the best when he left here.

Tim was an amazing friend and leader. I will never forget his work ethic, his passion to serve both his patients and his team. He made a difference in this world. Those who served with him at Mercy felt blessed!

Miss you Tim. Thank you for showing me what servant leadership looks like! Dear man. Excellent leader!

Tim was a very kind man with a beautiful soul. I feel privileged to have known him. Rest in peace Tim.

I'm grateful to have worked with Tim at Mercy. He was humble, hard-working and always concerned for others, a true gift to those who of us who were privileged to know him.

The world is a better place because of Tim Knipe. I was privileged to work at Mercy during much of the time he was there. Each of my three sons worked in food services during the summers under Tim´s direction and each remembers him very positively. Behind his broad smile was a soft and loving heart that was exemplary to all who knew him. God bless Tim!

I am honored to have known and worked with Tim. He always had a smile on his face and a personality to match. His family should be proud of his military and work service. He will be missed.

I worked with Tim at Mercy. He was always kind and supportive and I´m glad to have known him. RIP.

I worked with Tim at Mercy. He was consistently focused on quality and service. I also loved his sense of humor. He is and always will be in my memories of Mercy.

Best human being that God ever created! I had the privilege of working alongside him. He was creative, energetic and had a passion for helping others. He employed many Developed disabled individuals as well as refugees. The world has lost a great soul! I will celebrate his wonderful life!

Thank you for your support, encouragement and believing in me.

Tim Knipe was an extraordinary person and inspiring servant leader. We are saddened that he has left us but certain the Sisters of Mercy who have passed before us were lined up to welcome him to heaven. Blessed to work alongside Tim for several years at Mercy, I was witness to his widespread influence within support services teams. A frequent attendee at coworker family funerals and weddings, including my own, Tim knew his staff like few leaders do. A recipient of the Mercy award bestowed by the sisters themselves, Tim was hardworking, thoughtful, generous and had a knack for making sure people felt special and loved. He was always the first to wish me happy birthday for the past 18 years. I learned much about the heart of a leader from Tim Knipe. Rest in peace, Tim. You made me better for knowing you.

Uncle Tim was an amazing man-I will always remember his generosity, laugh and positive encouragement. There was never a doubt I knew he loved me and I loved him as a 2nd Father. I wish we had more time together-and will cherish the memories we did make.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date. Tim requested that his body be donated to science.
