Tim spent his formative years in Wayland and graduated from Marian High School in Framingham with the Class of 1980. He received his BS in Leadership from Northeastern University. He has resided in Lowell for the past years and a half and prior to that was in Everett for nine years. He was currently associated as a Customer Service Representative for Dentsply Sirona of Waltham for several years. He was an outgoing individual who loved to be around his family and friends and always found the best in everyone he met. His favorite holiday was Halloween and was very creative in making it a memorable time for everyone. He loved music, especially Karen Carpenter.
Tim had a kind heart and if you met him once, you were a friend for life as he embraced all he met with love and warmth. One of his most memorable trips was to Washington, D.C. and seeing the AIDS quilt on display. Tim will be fondly remembered and loved by his family and all the lives that he touched in his short life.
At the request of his family there will be no visiting hours and interment next to his mother in Saint Zepherin Cemetery in Wayland will be private. When they are able, his family will schedule a Celebration of his life. Information will be available on Facebook and the funeral home website.
In lieu of flowers, his family kindly suggests that memorial gifts in Tim’s memory may be sent to an organization that assists and supports patients with AIDS or the Dravet Syndrome Foundation in honor of Tim’s nephew Grant ( dravetfoundation.org/donate).
