Help Zazzi's Family After Tim's Tragic Death

After hosting a joyful 4th of July celebration for friends and neighbors, our family was struck by tragedy. My niece Zazzi’s fiancé, Tim Conover, was senselessly murdered—shot multiple times by someone he had trusted like family.

Tim was a remarkable man—deeply devoted to Zazzi, their two beautiful children, Zyla (age 9) and Zylan (age 5), and everyone he loved. He embodied unconditional love, living with a heart full of generosity and compassion. Whether he was sharing a meal, cracking a joke, or simply spending time with others, Tim had a way of making everyone feel welcomed and valued.

He lived selflessly, always putting his family and community first. Tim was the kind of person who would give without hesitation and show up when it mattered most. Every Friday, he proudly walked his children to school, greeting their classmates with warmth. At school events, he was affectionately known as the “Master Griller”—a title that spoke not just to his cooking skills, but to his joyful spirit and presence.

Tim’s sudden loss has left a deep void in the lives of all who knew him. As we try to find our footing in the wake of this heartbreak, we are reaching out for support. If you’re able, please consider donating to help Zazzi and her two young children during this incredibly difficult time.

Wed., July 30,11:00 AM, City of Refuge Church, 8400 Enterprise Way, Oakland, CA. Please wear Raiders' gear or black and silver as a salute to Tim's favorite team.
