Tim O'Keefe - December 15, 2005 Posted: Dec 1, 2005 at 6:05 PM
Sadly, we were asked to post this request to convey the wishes of Tim's family.
Though none of us ever want to face the time when Tim will leave us, sadly he was taken back to the hospital, and according to his doctor, mostly likely will not be returning home.
The family asks that you respect their privacy during this difficult time, and please refrain from calling or visiting now.
Instead, please send loving thoughts and prayers to our dear friend and his family.
***********************************************
Tim passed away 2 weeks after we put up this post.
Tis the season when I think about Tim more than usual. To me he represented what ES was about, not just a singles website, but a real community of friends who truly cared about one another.
But mostly I remember how much ES meant to him, especially in the final months. Tim is a constant reminder to me to not sweat the small stuff. We miss you big guy. Hard to believe it's been 6 years...

TIMMERS: One of the best things about ES is making dear friends, and meeting and getting to know you is at the top of that list. Your warm heart, hospitality, and sense of humor showed us all the true meaning of friendship. The times we spent at your home brought so many people together that wouldn't have otherwise met, and gave each of us cherished memories. It's been a long struggle for you, and to lose you will affect us all. However, you're going to a much better place and your pain will be at an end, and we can't be selfish when that time comes. You are loved by so many, and I wish you a swift journey to Heaven, and know that you'll be watching over us from above. ((((TIM))), you're the best, and I'll miss you.
To the family and BEV: We all know how difficult this time is for you, and want you to know that we'll never forget you either. My prayers are with you at this time, and please don't lose touch with us. If you need anything at all, just ask. Jacquie

With a great heaviness on our hearts and many tears rollin down our faces our thoughts and prayers are with Timmie, Kristan and especially Bev. Hopefully this will not be, yet know we will be watching the angels in the moonlight carrying Tim home.

Tim u have always been a very special friend. One of my very first friends I made on this site years ago. I always enjoyed our thursday nights before the parties having our little garage talks before everyone began arriving. I will always cherish those moments. We shared many laughs and even a few tears. You will always live on in a special place.

When we begin life, we begin a walk to learn and grow and touch the lives of all we come in contact with.ALthough the road seems long it is but a breath, a wink of the eye. Tim has been and always will be an inspiration to all that knew him. As the sparrow in the storm, Tim you have shown us all how to be strong, and walk on even when things seem dark and hopiless. IT is my prayer that you be at peace, and know that you will be missed. To the family... only time will heal, and Tims's mark on your life will carry you through many rough times. HE will always be with you, in your heart and in your memory. Bless you , and my prayers are with you and all that loved Tim. Laura
