Catholictothecore Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So, one of LGLG's high school friends passed away this past Friday. His name was Tim Ramsey. He was serverly both mentally and physically handicapped since birth, and passed due to complications with a bad pneumonia. His funeral will be tomorrow. He was 25, survived by his brother Joe (a great friend of LGLG's) and both parents. He will be dearly missed. Your prayers are appreciated, Pham.

let_go_let_God Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I wanted to share his obituary with you, Tim was loved by many and a true testament to the dignity of life for all stages of life. Edited for some privacy for the family. Tim, 24, died Friday, Jan. 28, 2011, at the hospital. He was born Feb. 25, 1986, at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., to his parents. At an early age, Tim was diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder, with autistic traits, and dealt with many physical and mental challenges in his life. He moved with his family to New Jersey, New York, Florida and Iowa before coming to Minnesota at the age of nine. With the help and love of his mother, he moved past barriers that can hinder many, by acquiring verbal and cognitive skills, and with the assistance of dedicated teachers and aides in New York and Minnesota, blossomed into a talented artist and positive representative of what disabled persons can achieve. Tim made many friends in the school's special education program, graduating in 2005, and went on to work and live. Some of Tim's proudest moments came last year, when he rode as a disabled representative in the 4th of July parade. He received an award for painting one of five works chosen and reproduced on posters as part of a Minnesota awareness campaign aimed at employers, educators, social services providers and the general public. He walked with the Lord from an early age, and his Christmas card paintings were a joy and a delight to see. Nowhere was Tim happier to be than at the home of "Granddad," his grandfather, in Daytona Beach. Tim was always quick to find answers to television game shows, and loved to follow any and every "Christmas Carol" version that could be found on TV. In some areas his knowledge of topics was remarkable. He loved his special pets, canines Sammy and Chipper and parrot Kumba. Tim will be missed by his former school classmates; housemates and staffers. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. CST Tuesday, February 2, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. God bless, LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
