Timothy's Ceremony/Plane Tickets

My brother Tim passed away suddenly and unexpectedly early thanksgiving morning. We are still in shock. We are not sure what happened yet but suspect it may have been an accidental overdose or a heart condition or both. He had a sensitive, gentle and caring soul, and left us way too soon. Our hearts are broken. Tim maximized everything in his life. He entertained and filled space with his presence in a way that only he could describe. He was a brilliant, deep thinking, creative, lover of the rain, and music, and self expression, and never gave one single fuck about what people thought about him! He surrounded himself with music, learning, art, nature, love, and humor and stirred the intellectual and spiritual curiosities of those around him. He was a talented musician, able to pick up just about any instrument and play it, just like his brother, Nate. He also loved to rap, and hoped to record, and score films one day. Tim was able to talk me through anything. The best time of my life was spent living with him, we were always around each other, but we never got tired of hanging out. I will spend the rest of my life repeating memories. Tim's top priority was looking after mama...and me. He is a piece of me missing, my crystal gem, and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. Timothy was a wonderful son to my mom, he knew how to cheer her up when she was in her darkest times, he had a perspective that no one else had. I will never be able to watch Adventure Time, do yoga, smoke weed, eat whole foods, or feel love without having Tim with me. His chaotic mind full of movie scores, Carl Sagan quotes, Kid Cudi rhymes, and the perfect comparison for everything. Tim was the type of son who shopped for hours for mothers day, analyzing every detail of each gift, making sure that even the glue that held the item together was just right. Tim was the brother that picked me up like a baby when I turned 21 and got too drunk to walk. He called me a "big baby" then, because all of my usual strong resolve was gone, and all I could do was cry, laugh and babble my secrets to him.. I can't continue with my stories now, my mind feels fractured and I need more time to put it together... I've never done this before so bear with me. My mother, Stacie Huff, and I will be having a ceremony in honor of Timothy's incredible life. We will be sending out an official notice of the date/time as soon as we can. In the meantime, we would appreciate any help you can offer towards the cost of cremation, flying his brother out from Alaska, items for the ceremony, including seating, and whatever else comes up that we haven’t thought of. We will also be having a Buddhist monk joining us voluntarily to lead the ceremony- they accept donations and we would like to compensate him for his generosity in honoring Tim with us. We cannot wait to hug each of you and hear your memories of Timothy in person. Thank you so much for your support in this awful time.
