Tim's Legacy: Support Tara and Family

Donation protected
Timothy Carey , fiancé of Tara Rodriguez, step father to 6 children and soon to be father to his daughter Cataleya,  tragically passed away on Saturday 05/03/25.

On may 3rd,2025 the family decided to try a new spot out and go fishing/swimming at what seemed like a calm little river beach. Tim being the crazy character he is decided to swim to the beach on the other side of the river, and in the process got overtaken by a strong current that swept him under the water and he was unable to come back up.

Tim was beyond ecstatic awaiting the arrival of his daughter Cataleya Raeleigh Carey due to be born October 2025. He was the most proud father to his soon to be step children Sofia, Andrea, Julian, Sebastian, Angelo, and his little mini me shadow Royce. He was engaged ready to marry his best friend, love of his life, Tara Rodriguez in the coming months before baby girl arrived.

You could always find Tim fishing, riding bikes, dancing, 4wheeling, and anything that had to do with being outdoors. He had so much life and never took advantage of one second. Truly one of the most amazing humans anyone could ever meet. The life of the party, the sunshine on the darkest day, the one that could bring a smile to literally anyone face. Tim was the diamond.
He will never be forgotten may his legacy be carried on through baby Cataleya. He was so loved and will be missed by so many.
Tim was a beloved son, brother, fiancé, uncle, step father and soon to be father and will be missed forever by everyone he touched.
Unfortunately Tim recently lost his insurance. Any funds donated will help to pay funeral and final costs and to aid with the upcoming birth of his daughter and family expenses.
Thank you for your prayers and donations. Every single gesture means the world
