Stifter Family Support Fund

Timm was born in upstate New York on March 13, 1978. The angels took him on Sunday, October 25, 2015, at the age of 37. Timm is survived by his wife, Carolina Stifter, his two sons Grayson and Leo, his parents Genne Paul and Judi, his brother Ryan P. Pfeffer-Stifter, his brother-in law David Z. Pfeffer-Stifter and their daughter Nikki. He is also survived by his extended family, as well as the multitude of friends and acquaintances whose lives he touched on an almost daily basis.

Timm will always be known for his outgoing personality. He never dodged a spotlight in his life and was committed to being the life of the party. His infectious laugh and boisterous personality could turn any situation into a laugh-a-thon. He will always be known as the voice of positivity. He was a generous, kind, funny, witty, and delightful man that inspired many he came in contact with.

Besides the accolades, Timm's most important role was that of husband and father. He married his high school sweetheart and eventually they had 2 sons. His two boys were the world to him and were the catalyst to his seemingly impossible positive outlook on life. When he spoke of them he would light up like a Christmas tree. Simply put, they were his everything.

For almost 30 years, I have had the privilege to count Timm as one of my closest friends. We had many adventures over those years and I will cherish every one. He was the most loyal friend a man could ever ask for. He was my brother. With this in mind, I need to make sure that those that were the most important to him are taken care of. Therefore, please help me make sure that his family has what they need to not only cope with such a tragic and sudden loss, but that they have what they need to continue the path Timm would have wanted.

We are raising money to help Carolina with the sudden changes she will have to make in the family's everyday life, as well as help with monies needed for college for the boys. This would have been something Timm would want. He was constantly expanding his education, and it would have meant everything for him to make sure his boys had the same opportunities he had.

I will be forever grateful to have had Timm in my life, even though it was way too brief. I will think of him every day. I know that he is loved by so many and that he will never be forgotten. Let's all make sure that his family, which lost such an amazing soul, can at least have some security.
