He also had an unequivocal love for his friends; many of them have expressed how much his faith and sense of humor inspired them to live life to its fullest. Tim's faith in God and the promise we have in Jesus gave him strength. He never used life's problems as an excuse to grow bitter or resentful towards God or others and he wouldn't want us to either. Let Tim's love for his friends remind you to love others boldly. Let his life inspire you to go outside of your comfort zone. Think of him when you want to go after that dream or idea even if people think you're crazy and no one else has done it before. Let him remind you to not be afraid to be yourself, even if some people don't understand. Timothy is survived by his parents Rev.
