Sonnyboy,
I miss you more than I can put into words. 10 Long years without seeing you, feeling your hugs, hearing your voice and your laugh. My only solace is that you are at peace and resting in the arms of our Lord. This world lost a wonderful human when you left us but heaven gained a beautiful angel. Keep watching over us my son.

Another year without your hugs, smile and having you here with us, however, the memories are abound! We speak of you each and every day, we celebrate your life often. We are happy, sad, cry, laugh, we tell stories about things you've said or done. We will never let your memory die.
It's true that heaven gained a beautiful, soulful, gentle angel. I pray every day that the torments of life on earth are long gone for you and that you are carefree, happy and resting in the arms of Our Lord. Miss you like crazy. Love you madly ..... Mom

Another year has gone by. Not a day goes by without many treasured thoughts of you Timmy. You touched so many lives in so many miraculous ways. You are forever in my heart. Bette.
June 14, 2018
Time passes but not the memories. I miss your smile, hugs, the sparkle in your eyes, your ability to make each & every one of us feel most special every day Timmy. So many precious memories.
Kristen posted below on June 16, 2010. It is as true today as it was then.
If tears could be a stairway
And memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
You are forever in my heart.

Tim,
Last night you came to me in my dream. I can still see you and feel your presence. I'm shaken. Why? It's been so long. I woke up crying hysterically. I had to go outside to calm down. My husband said I was screaming your name . I'm confused. I honestly don't understand why my mind did this. I miss you all of a sudden so much. I can see us in your truck listening to old school regulators song lol. I can see your smile. I look at our pictures and regret losing touch that last year. I know it's silly, but I had to say something on here. I miss you . And that amazing smile.

Timmy, it's mom again. I'm sure you felt the love yesterday, your 31st birthday, from your wonderful friends and family. So many reached out to me with loving words and support. It's true your memory will never die. As you know I talk to you everyday.....and sing to you, tease you, cry with you. I cry for purely selfish reasons......I miss seeing your beautiful face, feel your embracing hugs and hearing your voice. I find comfort knowing you are at peace and in the arms of our Lord. Happy Birthday my Sonnyboy.

Timmy ( Sonnyboy),
Yesterday makes our 5th year without seeing your smile, hearing your laughter, feeling your great big bear hugs. So sad for all of us left behind but, as always, I'm praying you are resting in peace and revel in the arms of Our Lord and Savior.
As you already know, I speak of you everyday and smile at your image in my mind. Your many friends tell me all the time that you, "THE MAN", were the glue to their friendship. I love that and I love you my son.

Life is too short. Those words mean so much more to me now...
Tim, please keep my love company up there. I will forever miss you both; Tim, my dear friend and Ed, the love of my life. However, I find comfort in knowing that he is with you now, Tim.
Party hard boys, wherever you are, all I ask is that you save a spot for me.
My heart belongs to you both,forever and always.
Please watch my back. I know I'm going to need it.

Timmy, My heart aches for you every day. I miss your calls each day, your visits, your loving hugs and your infectious smile. My only prayer now is that you are at peace and happy in the arms of the Lord. I talk to you each day and I know that you are with us. I always told you that you were put on this earth to do something great and I was so right. You touch so many, many lives in such a positive way. Your kind gentle way, you were a true friend to so many, the greatest baby brother to Christopher and Kevin, and a wonderful son to me. I couldn't have asked for more. You did so much in your short time on earth.
Love you and miss you more and more each day. My heart bleeds without you.

Dear Nancy & Family, Not a day goes by without many thoughts of you and Timmy. He loved you so much. Memories of his smile, the sparkle in his eyes, the hugs he shared so openly and freely, his ability to make each person he touched feel as if each of us was most special, will be forever in my heart. He had such a powerful and positive impact on the lives of both of my sons, Alex & Ben, and I am forever grateful. He is so loved and missed by so many. His Spirit is second to none. I know that he is Heaven's most special ~ and possibly impish ~ as I remember him even in his younger years ~ angel. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.
July 15, 2010
Timmy, I miss you so very much. My heart is broke and will never be whole again. I miss your sweet voice, your ever embracing hugs, your laugh and wonderful smile. Each day that passes I feel the pain more and more. My only hope and prayer for you is that now you are in the arms of the Lord and out of whatever torment you felt before that tragic day. The loss is greater than one could ever know.
Until we meet again, rest in peace my baby.
Love you forever,

I'M GLAD I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE EMBRACED IN HIS PRESENCE. VALUE ALL THAT YOU HAVE WHILE IT'S HERE ON EARTH. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO SAY NOT GOODBYE, BUT SEE YOU LATER.

genuine friends are a hard thing to come by. Somebody who you can develop trust and love for because you know that person cares about you. That is how I remember Tim. We met playing guilderland pop warner. He was my best friend on the team each year. I moved and we stayed in touch for a couple years. But after a while, we lost touch; for 10 years until three weeks ago. It was a warm embrace when he noticed me first. We caught up on old times real quick and then traded numbers. We each said we gotta hang out soon, and I was looking forward to getting reaquainted. I now feel terrible that I never got the chance. I miss u Tim, I love you like a brother. I saw a shooting star 15 minutes after I heard you passed, true story.

I knew Tim for a little more than a year. Every time I saw him he was all smiles. He came into the tattoo parlor I work at pretty frequently. He was good friends with the owner. I had the honor to tattoo Tim. He sat like a champ! Tim will be forever missed. There will always be a void at our shop, and in our lives now that Tim is no longer here. I'm happy to have had the pleasure to know you Tim. Hopefully I'll see you next time around. God Bless.

Timmy-
I met you while working at red robin a couple years ago. You were such a great guy, always smiling and joking around. I hadn't been in red robin since I quit and I was in just a few weeks ago and who was the first one to come up to me and say hello? YOU! I'm so glad I got to talk with you and catch up that day. Thanks for being my little brother kyles friend and for giving him rides home after work. You were an amazing guy and everytime I drive by red robin who will I think of? YOU
To timmys friends & family- I only knew Timmy for a short time and the way I feel after losing him is horrible. I can't imagine what you're all going through. He made such an impact on everyones life. Keep your heads up and smile because you were lucky to be so close with him. He's still with you all.

Christopher & Christine:
I know how important family is to the both of you. On reserve weekends, you would always tell me some nice stories about the children. Even though I never met Tim I could feel his spirit when I visited the funeral home last evening. You will be in my prayers each day. Please have a safe drive back to Florida and know that Tim will always be your angel. I lost my dad recently and I feel his presence each day as my guardian angel. Please keep in touch with me.
