Timothy Phipps Obituary

As many of you have heard, our dear Tim has left us to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 8th, 2011.

Tim's loss is going to be felt heavily by so many people throughout this community. Tim enjoyed riding his bike in Capitola, exploring the boardwalk, swimming at the spa, and riding horses along the beach. We have to celebrate his presence with the Lord, his freedom from pain, and his ability to now be what God had meant him to be. Strong and alive. Only thinking of Tim in this way can we get past the heartbreak of his passing. You will never know how your prayers and your encouraging comments have helped hold us together through a time that we never imagined we would be going through.

Tim is survived by his mother, Anne Phipps; father, Greg Phipps; grandmother, Barbara Pearson; and his sister, Valerie Phipps.

A memorial will be held at 1:00 pm, Friday, June 17th at Monterey Bay Academy Chapel with a gathering following at Monterey Bay Horsemanship and Therapeutic Center. 783 San Andreas Road, Watsonville California, 95076.

Arrangements under the direction of Santa Cruz Memorial / Oakwood Chapel 831-475-2464

In lieu of flowers, please make memorial contributions to Monterey Bay Horsemanship and Therapeutic Center, PO Box 742 Soquel, California 95073.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

What a handsome young man Timmy turned out to be! I will never forget us sitting around the dinner table looking at his baby pictures, when the Lord named him. I know how this loss must impact your lives, and I also know what a huge blessing you were to this child that was facing unimagineable odds. What a joy when you get to heaven and Tim runs to you and gets to say I Love You, Mom and Dad and Sis. Jesus, you are so good. Love always,
