For Timothy Jon Staffeldt..

Hi, my name is Sean Staffeldt. I thank you in advance for reading through this. Realizing that I cannot do this alone is frustrating and humbling.. all at the same time. Any kind of donation is truly appreciated.

I am hoping to raise funds for my older brother, Timmy, who passed away unexpectedly on July 25, 2023. We are all at a loss for words and find ourselves emotionless processing everything these last few weeks. The "should've, could've, would've, and whys" have been destroying our mental clarity as we realize, life must continue even through such heartache. (the bible verse the day after Tim passed away)

My brother is.. was a wonderful human being, hardheaded most of the time but the life of the party with a gentle soul. He graduated from Oswego High School in 2001. Played football all four years and was the team captain and All-State his Senior year. He went on to earn his bachelor's degree in Physical Education and Special Education from Millikin University in 2006. Tim spent the next 12 years teaching and coaching around the area. He was a loving son, brother, cousin, uncle and nephew, enthusiastic, fun-loving friend, and if you were a part of his small circle, he loved you with his whole heart. However, his favorite title ever was.. is Dad. Timmy has two beautiful, young girls that he loved so so much. I pray they can still feel the love of their father each and every day.

It is dishearteningly overwhelming just how expensive this all is. I am hoping to have enough to cover Timmy's cremation expenses. Anything extra will be used towards his "Celebration of Life" event this fall (date TBD) and then towards a remembrance piece for his daughters.

Thank you and God bless - Love, the Staffeldt family
