Tim Evans
At the one year mark, the thought of condensing my relationship with my dad into a few paragraphs or trying to put into words to what it meant to be his son, feels overwhelming. Words could never adequately describe what he meant to me. He told me that nobody had a better dad than he did. He was wrong-I did. My dad was my best friend - my role model - my most trusted advisor. He was, without a doubt, the most positive, life-giving person I have ever known. He lived with intention and left little room for regrets. He lived every day as if it were his last. I never had to wonder where I stood with my dad or how he felt. Nothing was left unsaid between us. And while I don't regret any of the time I had with him, I feel a little cheated that I didn't get more of it. Going forward without my dad is unchartered territory for our family. We've already experienced so many firsts without him. And through it all, I've seen the courage that he modeled shine through in my Mom, sisters, and in all of his grandkids. He lived so boldly. I could go on with stories about facing my fears/standing up for myself/trusting myself. And in all of those stories, in my mind's eye, I see Dad standing behind me. Because he laid such a strong foundation for his family, we can all look ahead with hope knowing his story continues. His legacy will be reflected in each of our lives. I miss him every day and look forward to the time when we will meet again. --Timmy

A year later and still can't believe it, we miss him so much. Always intentional, full of life, and so much fun. "Papa E" to our kids. We learned by watching how he lived, how he loved Anne and his children, their spouses and then his grandchildren and everyone else in his life. Tim was a walking celebration, it was always better when he was around, I loved how we could always hear if he was in a room. He sowed and watered so many seeds (including us) here on earth, he is reaping the rewards in heaven. To think too long always brings tears of thankfulness that we had him in our lives as a friend, mentor, encourager, listener, wisdom giver, joy bringer and the list goes on and on. No one like him. Thank you Father for Tim.

Wow. When I personally reflect on the past year without the daily influence of Tim in my/our lives, it is one with daily reminders of all the elements of our friendship that we no longer have. Three hundred and sixty-five days of little losses and misses. My process has gone from, "What would Tim say right now?" and "I wish I could call Tim: he would know the answer"…and, "Dang it!!!" There is no outlet for the value he was to me; the brotherly relationship I needed (given the loss of my real brothers)-the joking, laughing and sisterly jeering one would expect, to the deeply Biblically informed vault of knowledge with intense scripture always on the tip of his toung. When I was in spiritual conflict, I called Tim. He always has an answer, if not THE answer. And he always prayed for me, whether we spoke 4 times a week or just once every other week. Tim always pointed me to the Lord. These days, our household is alight with Tim's common wisdoms and sayings. When a problem or a perplexed moment arises my girls say, "I'll bet Uncle Tim would say this _______! (and they fill in the blank of the moment.) This is always met with smiling and assured joy because his memory is ALL good and all comforting. So, over the year, we've gone from shock to despair (not literally being able to access Tim), to through God's grace, slowly being able to gather up the memories and clutch his wisdoms therefore, in a quiver if you will, and pluck them out as needed. Sometimes we turn to his books to know, "Oh yeh, this is what he told me on the phone that one time and it's what he say again if I could call him right now." It's not the same of course. But as time goes by, our memories are more clear. In the early days when Keith was horribly distraught, one of Keith's colleagues said to him, it is awful to lose your mentor, but you will always have his wisdom." And so that is what we've hung onto and focused on, as we've assembled (and continue to gather up) our most cherished memories. Tim's wisdom/s and hilarity will always bring me comfort. I cherish the gazillions of conversations, laughs and moments. I miss his brotherly, huggy style-of -greeting, his vernaculars, his happy blue eyes, zest for life and the vault of Godly truth he carried with him everywhere! Tim Evans, I thank my God each time I remember you. Philippians 1:3

I have been meaning to share this and I'm so sorry for these belated words. Anne - Andre and I were so impacted by our brief but powerful time together with you and Tim when we met at the gender equity (forgot the name!) conference in 2015/2016. Over the years through the ups and downs in our own relationship, we remembered your marriage, your ministry to us, and your powerful encouragement. When we heard of Tim's passing, we were so sad and have prayed for peace over you and the family this last year. Thank you for living life together so beautifully, so lovingly, and thank you for extending yourselves to us. Even from afar and with our momentary connection with you both, we can feel and imagine the loss of Tim on earth.

It has been a year since my best friend, Spiritual Father, and all around best guy, Tim Evans, went home to be with our Good Father. I've missed him almost every day since. At first the grief and loneliness was so palpable. Tim and I used to talk almost every week on Wednesday mornings. He was like a father to me. I missed Tim so much, and still do. But as the days stretched to weeks and months, I started thinking more about all Tim left me with and this these thoughts began to overcome the aching loss. Tim's wisdom, faith, jokes, sayings and friendship began to have a new echo in our home - one full of happy memories, his favorite sayings, and his shared wisdom. "Remember when Uncle Tim said...." has become a refrain. Some of Tim's last words to me the week he passed were these: "Keith remember when you're down (because that day I was) to think about good things, don't get bogged down by the lies of the enemy. Then he quoted and told me a story about his spiritual father Dick Swetman, and their love for this verse: Philippians 4:8 (whatever is Nobel, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think on such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me - put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you ). This last verse Tim shared with me seems so appropriate to what he left me, my family, and so many others - a pathway forward. He didn't live a life stuck in the past - Tim chased tomorrow, and loved God, and loved loving others. He was the most encouraging person I have ever known. Tim lived a very vibrant and alive faith - and did so on the outside - he walked it, talked it, loved it, embraced it - and he shared that love of God everyone he knew. That's the legacy - and that his echoing encouragement. Thanks for this final encouragement and all you left us with Tim. I will forever love you and miss you.
