Tim was such an inspiration to me. He loved God and always had a smile. I never once heard him complain about anything, and I always wanted to have the same attitude. He was a good man and is now free to run in Heaven. We will see him again. May God bless his family and comfort them in their loss.

It was a pleasure knowing Tim at SPAWAR. He freely shared his smile with everyone and had a way of turning an otherwise bad day into a good day. Thinking of Tim makes me smile. God´s peace to the Blakely family.

Tim was a courageous individual who didn't let his disabilities hold him back. He was not ashamed of his relationship with Jesus Christ and shared his faith with others. He was a man of faith, good character and integrity. And, was dearly loved and an encouragement to everyone that knew him. Tim is safe in the arms of Jesus today and for all of eternity. May the God of all comfort pour out His love, mercy and grace during this difficult time.
