A Message from His Mother

"Timothy was my sunshine-curious, kind, and full of life from the moment he was born. Watching him grow into a man who brought joy to so many was the greatest gift of my life. His laughter, his hugs, his love of art, nature, music, sports, people, wine, food and travel, these are the memories I hold close. I will miss him every day, but I know his spirit will live on in his children, in the stories we share, and in the hearts of all who loved him. Thank you for being part of his journey."
