My thoughts and prayers go out to Timmy's family and friends during this most difficult time. Please know that I considered your Dad to be the ultimate Gentleman and Friend to All on this ES site. He was truly " A CLASS ACT ". God Bless, Barbara

I only spoke with Tim briefly once or twice. He had welcomed me and my dog to one of his shindigs a while back. I didn't get to go, but always regreted and recalled how open 'n friendly he was. He was one of the "rare" at ES that understood "us of few words". Tim was a rare gem. My prayers and sympathy are sent to his family and friends. Be at peace with God.... Sue

I've been readin through and keepin up, but just could put words to page until today. Life has a way of moving to fast sometimes. Timmy I never met ya, but got to talk to your dad about you a few times. I was glad I could lend an ear and some support as someone who had walked in similar shoes as he. I'll always keep the photos of the one time I met him face to face, and will cherish his spirit, will and heart. They broke the mold when they made him. May our prayers touch you and yours as you celebrate your father's life and help him be free. He'll always be here, residing in the hearts of all he touched. God Bless Beth (Tre) and family

Texasbay writes: "The only thing that keeps repeating in my mind is that God has a reason for everything. And the only reason I can come up with is that, through Tim's living, we all learned to live. His example of living beats the hell out of what most of us will ever do. And even in death, we are learning...learning to be a little nicer to people, a little more forgiving, a little less judgemental, and a lot more loving..because that's what Tim taught us." AMEN, Texasbay...well said. That is Tim's legacy. And, every life that Tim touched now has the honor and burden of carrying his legacy to all we meet, both on ES and in our everyday lives. No better tribute can be made to Tim than that. WarPony

Campfire coffee from a tin cup in my hand Sure warms the fingers when it’s cold Playing an ol’ guitar, a friend I understand It sure smooths the wrinkles in my soul Sleeping in the moonlight, a blanket for a bed It leaves a peaceful feelin’ in my mind Wakin’ up in the morning with an eagle over head Makes me long to fly away before my time And I think God must be a cowboy at heart Cause He made wide open spaces from the start He made grass and trees and mountains And a horse to be a friend And trails to lead ol’ cowboys home again The night life in big cities is alright for a while It sure makes you feel good when you’re there But the country’s so pretty, it goes on and on for miles And it takes away my troubles and my cares God must have needed a real cowboy. Tim you were a good friend. Save me a place by the camp fire. Ben

I have sat down several times to write something, and each time I end up canceling it. It seems that I just can not put into words how I feel. Tim would laugh at that because he knew I never held back how I was feeling and was never at a loss for words. This time, it's different though, but I will try my best. All the things that have been said are true and I know his life affected so many people. Tim was one of the best friends I've ever had in my entire life. He was like a big brother to me. We spent countless hours on the phone and in person talking about life, love, lost love, people, music, food, horses, etc...and we tried like the devil to solve all the world's problems over cocktails, but we never got far. He was such an inspiration to me. I always said I wanted to be like Tim when I grew up. He was kind, compassionate, non-judgemental, forgiving, intelligent, fun, had a wicked sense of humor, and never failed to have a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen whenever anyone needed it. He was the kind of person we all aspire to be. He set the bar pretty damn high! Timmy's right in a way...Tim never failed to show love, even for people that were strangers. But that's only half true because Tim never met a stranger. He had the capacity to love beyond anything that most people would ever dream of. I have struggled over the last few years, and especially over the last few days, to make sense of this. I guess it's normal to ask "why" but in this case, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHY DAMN IT!!! I have experienced the expected emotions...sadness, depression, anger, and I've even done my share of bargaining with God. But no answers come. The only thing that keeps repeating in my mind is that God has a reason for everything. And the only reason I can come up with is that, through Tim's living, we all learned to live. His example of living beats the hell out of what most of us will ever do. And even in death, we are learning...learning to be a little nicer to people, a little more forgiving, a little less judgemental, and a lot more loving..because that's what Tim taught us. Timmy and Kristen, you both know I am here for you, anytime, anywhere. Just call. Bev, same goes for you too. I'm here for you. Tim, sweetie, you know I love you, and I miss you every day and probably always will. But you will be forever in my heart, and even though we didn't get to say goodbye, it doesn't matter. It's not good bye, I'll see you again. As the song says.. If you get there before I do, don't give up on me. I'll meet you when my chores are through; I don't know how long I'll be But I'm not gonna let you down, just you wait and see. Between now and then, till I see you again, I'll be loving you. Love, me I miss you Timmers

Timmy and Kristen I am so sorry for your great loss, Tim was a great man, I can't express my sympathy enough at this time,but my thoughts and prayers are with yall, Just remember as long as one person has a thought or memory of Tim he will never be truley gone! myself and many more people whom had the privledge of having our lives touched by knowing Tim through es, will always remember him! William

Too all the people and friends that I have made here in ES, I just happened too go into our site a few moments ago and I saw a photo of Tim and you know the tears began too flow. I met Tim 3 years ago and yes he was the kindest of people that I ever ever met and wanted too know, Tim was Gent and I rarely use that name or term lightly. Tim always had the time and made it a point too say hello to me when ever I entered that chat room and always asked when I was going too come out too his spread and set a spell. Over the past couple of years I've lost friends and honestly it never gets easy. Tim was a Pard and will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Priase Jesus that I had the opportunity too know this man. Michael (Conn Conagher)

Thank you again! Bev, take care of yourself and God Bless you.
