Timothy Brian Totten left behind an inspirational legacy upon his death on May 11, 2026. To know Tim was to feel welcomed and encouraged. He never met a stranger, only friends he had not yet discovered.

A gifted creative soul, Tim described himself as a parallel entrepreneur and enjoyed life to the fullest. He was a Master Storyteller, a world-renowned speaker, and a captivating expert on the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He dedicated his time and creativity to both his businesses and the charitable organizations that he deeply loved. Tim created the Amazing Race for Charity in Eustis in 2014 and ran it as the Race Director and President until gifting it to the City of Eustis in 2025. He was also the founder and co-organizer of TEDxEustis from 2018 until 2025 and continued in 2026 as a curator and coach. He was an aspiring novelist, interactive media creator, visionary game developer, volunteer high school football radio announcer, and philanthropist. He combined his love of sewing with his wit and ingenuity to become the largest producer and manufacturer of products in the world for the funeral home industry, Final Embrace LLC. He became a light for so many during COVID with mask and sewing tutorials.

Tim is survived by amazing family, friends, and a worldwide net of those he impacted. He will always be remembered for the way he made people feel seen, valued, and loved.

Tim leaves behind a legacy of kindness, adventure, and compassion, that will continue to ripple through all who knew him.

We wish to honor his legacy of love, creativity, and community support by way of scholarships, endowments and donations collected by this fund.
