Timothy Kirwan Obituary

He attended Wasson high School, graduating in 1981. A true artist, Tim created in practically every medium possible.

He is survived by his sons Ian, Eli and Addison, his father William B., his siblings Kristi, Deborah (Tom) Bonifas, Sean (Lisa) and his niece Kimberly and his nephews Maxwell, Fischer, and Kirwan.

My much younger fiancé ha revived my interest in edm and was thinking about coming out to the Springs for a visit. He was a great guy and we had so many great times.

I worked with Tim for a few years, and he was so very kind and gentlemanly. His ready smile and laughter was always an encouragement. And he was so terribly proud of his little boys (who are no longer little, I'm sure!).

I've Known Tim for a long time. We used to DJ together at Rum Bay. I will always remember him as an eclectic good hearted guy. Downtown Colorado Springs won't be the same without him.

It's a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place that I go to than I have ever known.

Until we meet again again my friend.

I didn't know Timber for long enough. I'm sure everyone feels the same way. I only really knew him for about a year. In that year, he completely changed my life and my husband's life. What an amazing person! We really really miss him.

I’ve spent many days completely dumbfounded with myself and lost in a sea of emotions. Timber was, is, will always be a brother to me. I can’t even begin to count the number of giggles, conversations,art shows, movies, meals, campouts, road trips, tears and definitely beers and cigarettes we had together. There is huge hole in my heart and I am so grateful to read everyone’s (Burning Man Blogs, Newspeak, Facebook, yada, yada) own recounts of what an amazing, thoughtful soul that was Timber. Here’s to you my sweet friend.

Love-
Penelope Knifechucka (nickname given to me by Timber years ago)

I worked with Tim for several years and enjoyed his creativity and zest for life. He's already greatly missed.

Some people may remember Tim and his "Fez" hat --When we'd introduce a new staff member to the team he would joke around by wearing it when meeting the new hire. Then he'd somehow get it to the next office, so that everyone the new guy met that day would be wearing that silly hat! He was such a nice person. He'll be terribly missed.
