Tim lived his life to the fullest. His greatest joys were to be with his family, and his love for hockey,
baseball and golfing. Tim was an active member of the Borderland Thunder hockey club, and took
pride in being a Board of Director at the Heron Landing Golf Course. Tim loved to tease people,
joke about sex with everyone, including his grandparents. He loved spending time with his friends,
where you would find him entertaining them in his shed, which was a shrine to his hockey hero,
The Moose, Mark Messier. His greatest wish would have been to spread cheer and happiness to all
who loved him.
“Our Angel”
Our angel is at peace now, he hurts no more.
No joke too small, no trick too big.
If it was said and if it was done,
It was probably Tim who was the one.
He brightened our day; he put the stars in the night.
We look to the heavens each day and night,
But sadly our angel has gone away.
We weep and cry,
Not a day will go by
Without our family missing his laughter and love.
We love you our boy.
Love always, Mom and Dad
