In loving memory of Timmy

If you're hearing this for the first time, we really do apologize.

Timothy Ma took his life on Sunday, March 5, 2023. He lost his battle with depression. I know he touched your heart somehow but just know that was his purpose in this life. Tiggy lost her best friend, her other half, and her only brother. He really knew how to brighten the room everywhere he went. It's not an easy time for anyone and Tiggy hopes that you'll all stay strong for her - they were twins despite being 2 1/2 years apart. Just know that she is doing okay and we hope you are too.

It is impossible for anyone to put into words the shock, heartbreak, and sadness upon hearing the news and you are not alone in that. Tigs, on behalf of our friends at Yaletown, Alberni + the rest of the Keg family, everyone we have encountered through our small Richmond community, and everyone else in between, we are all here for you. Richard and Rosita Ma we will support you in any way we can.

Timmy was a giving person. He wanted to provide everyone with experiences they could always remember. I'm sure everyone has had similar silly memories with him and I hope that sharing them helps us grieve together.

Timmy made an impact on anyone he crossed paths with and it's only natural that we share stories and feel a collection of emotions. It has really helped to hear stories of how much he has touched everyone's lives.

During this difficult time, please be there to support one another but also remember to hold space for yourself to grieve.

To everyone who has stopped by our place, dropped off food, and extended their condolences - there are not enough words to say thank you. Please know your kindness has not gone unnoticed.

So much love to you all,

Valerie Delos Santos, on behalf of Tiffany "Tiggy" Ma
