It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Tim, who lost his long and courageous battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and unwavering support for those around him. While cancer may have taken his life, it could never take the joy, humor, and spirit that defined him.
Tim devoted his life to connecting with others, making people laugh, and bringing communities together. He had a remarkable ability to share stories, lighten the heaviest moments, and offer guidance to anyone in need. Those who faced the challenges of cancer often found in Tim a mentor, a cheerleader, and a friend who truly understood their journey. Even in the most difficult times, he showed up for others with compassion, generosity, and his signature humor.
Family, friends, and all who knew Tim are grieving his loss, yet they are also grateful for the love, laughter, and memories he shared. His life was a celebration of relationships, storytelling, and the joy of being together. Tim believed that life was meant to be lived like a big, slightly chaotic but well-loved show, and those who knew him were always part of the audience—and often the co-stars—he treasured most.
His family invites friends and colleagues to share their favorite memories, stories, and photos of Tim, honoring the laughter and light he brought into every room. Plans are underway for a Christian Mass and Celebration of Life in Burlington, Vermont, led by Candy Kavanagh, where friends, family, and community members will gather to remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.
Tim’s spirit, humor, and generosity will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were touched by him, reminding everyone of the importance of love, laughter, and connection.
