On January 13th, 2025, my brother Tim unfortunately passed away in a structure fire in Boulder Creek. Yesterday night I received official DNA confirmation that my brother is in fact gone. Tim was a kind and gentle soul, anyone who met him was struck by his giving nature, and he deserves to be put to rest properly. I unfortunately cannot afford this on my own, and I am deeply hoping to bring him to a place of peace after such an extended time of uncertainty. My brother had a hard life, maybe we can come together to make his transition to the other side a little kinder. If you are able to give even a dollar, I would be so grateful, every cent will be used to ensure Tim gets the love and kindness that he deserves, even in death.
