Timothy Elliott Latham, known affectionately as Tim to his family and friends, passed away on November 19, 2024, at the age of 36. Born on February 13, 1988, in Washington DC, Tim was a beacon of joy and positivity to all who knew him. His unexpected passing in Fairfax, VA, has left a void in the hearts of many, but his spirit remains a source of inspiration and cherished memories.
Tim grew up in a loving household, the treasured son of Donna Latham and the late Kevin Latham. His brother, Tyler, shared in the adventures and strong familial bond that defined their childhood growing up in Centreville. Tim was also the proud grandson of Barbara Elliott and the late Walter Elliott, and the late Dorothy and Royce Latham. He was lovingly nurtured by his aunts Arlene, Kathy, Karen, Susan, and Pat, and his uncles Joe, Mark F., Mark L., Dan, Royce, Jimmy, and Buddy. His cousin Krista, along with Jeff, David, and numerous other cousins, remember him as a guiding light and a loyal friend.
An alumnus of VA Tech in Blacksburg, VA, Tim excelled in his studies in Finance, laying the groundwork for a successful career that was as much about helping others as it was about professional achievement. His natural leadership and charisma shone through in all his endeavors, leaving an indelible mark on his colleagues and those fortunate enough to have worked alongside him.
Tim's zest for life was evident in his love for the outdoors. Whether he was hiking through the serene trails, running with unbridled energy, or simply spending time by the ocean, Tim found peace and fulfillment in nature's beauty. He was a passionate sports fan, with unwavering support for his favorite teams, the Commanders and the Capitals. Game days were always a special occasion for Tim, filled with camaraderie and spirited cheering.
Those who knew Tim understood that his heart was as vast as the ocean he loved. He approached life with an infectious enthusiasm and a smile that could light up any room. His kindness, generosity, and genuine care for others were the hallmarks of his character. Tim's ability to uplift and encourage those around him was a rare gift that will continue to be felt even in his absence.
As we bid farewell to Timothy Elliott Latham, we celebrate a life lived with passion, purpose, and love. Tim's legacy is one of joy, friendship, and the enduring bonds of family. He may have left this world too soon, but the memories he created will forever be treasured by those who were privileged to know him.
Tim's life will be honored and remembered in a private ceremony, surrounded by his family and close friends. His story does not end here, as each of us carries a piece of his spirit within us. Let us hold dear the laughter, the adventures, and the unwavering spirit of a man who made every moment count.
Rest in peace, Tim. Your journey has touched us all, and your memory will be cherished forever.
