Tim Watkins Obituary

"A grand comet, streaking the sky-
Could leave no greater wake-
Than did this mighty soul- on earth."

We Charlie Ehlers and Mary Proctor Ehlers from Statton are very sorry for your lost.. May all the though and prays soften the pain..

Our hearts were broken after hearing the horrible news and more than anything, we wish we could reverse time for you. Please know that we are praying for Tim and the entire Watkins family. We hope that God's Love will help you all through this very difficult time.

Dear friends and family of Tim.

Tim was the roots and wings for so many. I had the great pleasure of knowing Tim. He was a genuine soul. Tim's love and understanding we're his best traits and a real gift to me. I was a single dad and Tim was a constant source of encouragement. He was really, truly a beautiful soul. I'll miss you dearly, Tim. Thank you for showing me how I could still love and still care for everyone. Sure wish I could have thanked you more. You have no idea. God bless you, Tim.

Tim, I have countless memories of you, but one moment that still feels like yesterday, was grateful I felt the day you graciously, and without hesitation, loaned me (which of course, was a gift, not a loaner!) one of your mountain bike tires for my first mountain bike race. I took second in that race...all due to that tire, I am sure.

But, I think what I appreciated and admired most about you was your ability to love and to be willing to try at love despite previous imperfect experiences. I wish Ginger you had more time together with Ginger in this life, but seeing you happy in love, remains an inspiration to me. You were a good man, Tim. I miss you. We all miss you.

We are with you in our hearts on this hard day, dear Watkins Family. Much love. "Our Father God, pour out your healing peace on their wounded hearts. Thank You for Your promise of better days. Our hope is in You, Jesus. Amen."

It's hard to understand why bad things happen to good people. "Even in a storm there is peace"
Rest In Peace fellow mountain biker

May God guide Tim on his Spiritaul journey home. The depth of your grief reflects the depth of your Love. I am so sorry for Tim's passing. Love & Light.

Dear Tim, thank you for being a part of my "village" growing up. I was just the bratty owner's kid at the shop where you worked for a time, but you were always so kind to me, and to everyone. Your devotion to your family was always admirable and inspiring and I will never forget you and your positive outlook. RIDE in peace, and may your soul be blessed. Your family is loved, and we will be here for them in any way we can.

Your smile will continue to light the earth long after your passing. The bike I bought from you will remain with me forever and you will be heavy on my heart when I ride it. Please excuse errors in my writing, tears are falling from my eres...

Sending heartfelt sympathies to all of Tim's family. I have such fond memories of the Virgil Watkins family from their short time in Stratton, Co. I recall a young Tim who was a delight....such a sweet smile and happy lad.

Tim had a very special spot in our heart. He worked with our son at Lewis Palmer School in the transition program. Our son had a great time working with Tim. Tim had a great smile, friendly, and always happy. As our son said "I love Tim" and we agree with him. We have great memories and will miss Tim. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family. May the comfort of knowing Tim was loved by many people bring them peace. Kim, Hank and Kyle Weinmaster

Shocked and saddened to hear about Tim's death. I bought some inventory from Balanced Rock Bike Shop when Tim closed down. As genuine a human being as I have ever known.

There are angels that walk amongst us and Tim was certainly an angel here on earth. His kindness and sincerity was the most genuine of anyone I have met and we will miss him greatly. I send prayers of peace and comfort to his family and hope that your hearts heal in time. Colette and Rich Simms

I love you friend. You will always hold a special place in my heart. I will be there for your family. I'll miss you & your beautiful smile so much. I will cherish my beadwork you made me & love you forever.

My mother and I wish to convey our heartfelt condolences to your families at this difficult time. We are thinking of you and you are in our prayers. May God's love sustain you.

So sorry to hear about what happened to Tim. Can't understand how this could have happened to such a fine man. My prayers are with you, may God comfort your hearts. Patricia Hollingsworth Neely

Dearest Jody and Virgil I and my family are so sadden with your loss. Even though we haven't been in the area for sometime we think of all of you quit offen. Tim was a very special person always loved his smile and attitude. May prayers and love hold you tight. Tom, Pat Cross and family
