Tim found a new life last fall here in Butte Montana. In his short time here, he worked at Walmart and at Harrington Pepsi.
Some of Tim’s favorite things to do were to go on country cruises, listening to all types of music and taking selfies. He was the fishing guru of Clearlake. He was also a wannabe gold miner. Tim loved to ride motorcycles. And Tim’s adventurous personality got him the nickname the Explorer. ⭐️

Tim, the 1st day we moved into our humble abode I was known to you as mom. At first I wasn’t sure if that was a compliment. But in the short months we have been here I have learned that it was indeed a compliment. We watched as you and Hairy Berry’s brotherly love florish with zeal, which in turn made us feel better about our fellow man. Your laughter and smiles lit up around us daily. Your fast pace and your heavy steps we miss more than you’ll ever know. You were my son. Our prayers are with you Mr. Hairy Berry and all who love you and Tim. God bless you all. Till the next adventure McGarrett. We love you.

Oh boy. Where do I start? First of all Tim you are already greatly missed! I loved you like a brother. I have so many funny memories in the short time I knew you. First off, when you smashed your own face into your birthday cake that I made you. I keep hearing your voice saying “effin Laurie” when I played a joke on you. And all your hugs when I know you were really sniffing my hair! lol. I loved your love of music and surprisingly we had much the same taste in music. I loved your adventures spirit. I can still hear you cracking up on our group country cruises. I can still picture you making your snow angel. And now you will be our angel watching over us all. You were so happy every time you earned yourself a new gold star. It was fun to see you climbing everywhere we went. Like at the waterfall where we took pictures and you looked like a Sasquatch. I wish you and Jerry would have had the chance to strike it rich on your hunt for gold. Make sure to guide your big brother to the mother load please. And don’t forget you agreed to send him the winning lottery numbers too. Tim, you overcame a lot when you moved here and I’ll always be proud of you and your accomplishments, it was great to see how proud you were of yourself! Love ya Tim!
