Hello,
I don’t really know what to say except we are all devastated from this sudden loss. We were told that Tim lost his battle with cancer on early Friday morning, 3-22. What makes things a little more shocking is that we all had hope that since he was in better spirits, had his pain management under control, getting the care he deserved from City of Hope that he had seemed like himself again. We all were ready to fight with him during his chemo treatments and support him through whatever he needed as a family. We all knew that this was going to be a tough road ahead and that there were going to be bad days but never expected this so soon. Tim was diagnosed in mid January with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, it has only been 10 weeks. He just started chemo on 3/15 and had previously been in the hospital for 2 weeks before treatment. He was able to return to the home Ashlee had just moved into on 3/9 in order to provide Tim with the best possible living situation she could provide.
Ashlee has been so strong getting Tim set up with the best doctors, ideal living situation, and still working from home so during this time she wasn’t prepared for this.
All I ask at this time is if you could please share this message our family would greatly appreciate it ❤️
I can update when Celebration of Life will be taking place. We also ask at this time to give Ashlee space as she is still processing.
Thank you all in advance
