More from Doggity
I met Timothy Cyrus McCormick on June 6, 2008.
I was on SecondLife and a friend introduced us. He was brand new to SL and wasn't familiar with the Furry Fandom. That night I took him under my wing and helped him a bit with an AV. He wanted to be a deer, so I got him a Luskwood Deer and helped customize it. Thus was the beginning of Cy the Deer and our friendship. Later, he went by the name of Lemonade Coyote.
To be honest, we had a turbulent friendship over the years. A couple of those years, I considered him one of my very best friends as we would talk every day, frequently on the phone, and made plans to visit each other. Other times, we frustrated each other with our differing approaches to Love and Religion. Regardless, I always felt a connection to him--kind of like a brother.
One night in the Fall of 2012, we had a big argument that resulted in us not being friends anymore for a while. I won't go into details, but it was tough. We went our separate ways until his birthday on January 27, 2013. We were in the process of mending our friendship when he was taken from this world on February 16, 2013--one year ago today.
Timothy lived life intensely. He was a brilliant, creative, and deeply frustrated individual. The most frustrating thing for me is that he was on the verge of such happiness when he was taken--he had just graduated from college, and I believe he had found love. And he was helping people. And he was much too young to die.
My comfort is that he's in a better place now. I fervently believe that he's watching over us and I think of him often. I know we've completely forgiven each other and I can't wait to see him and give him a massive hug.
You're so missed, Timothy.

I'm sorry for your loss, I have had two friends die, my friend Anna and Bayden, Anna was murdered and was thrown in a river near where I live, like some trash but she was human too. Brayden killed himself. I'll pray to my Goddess for him on my Alter. May you two meet again in this or the next life. Blessed Be
I didn't know Tim (LC) personally but I did meet him few times. He was a paramedic in St Louis MO and died when a car ran a red light and T-boned his ambulance. Later on at AC, uncle Kage did a tribute to him. He went on saying that when his funeral procession went through down town the entire city ''stopped'' in silence as the procession moved on into the suburbs and finally to his final resting place. I later learned he was gay but that didn't mean a thing to me. It was never about his personal life, it was ''his'' life as to who and what he was. A paramedic during the day and a fursuiter at AC. On the unlikely chance that no one has seen it, I'll post it here. RIP dude. You'll be missed.

I was in the same boat as you. Tim was stubborn as was I and our heads clashed,resulting in an argument. I send him a message later that day and told him I was sorry for snapping at him. Last words were "I'll see ya when you get home from work, Love and miss ya."
I think that is one of my biggest regrets (arguing with him) But he's made me see my ways in a different direction. You can say he's sort of helped be a light for me to change and try to mellow out more.

I never got to meet Timothy but I wish I could have. I do remember seeing the news report on TV when it happened and wasn't too bothered about it, but I never would have thought I would hear from those who knew him. I know several people who I see as being so similar to him that I almost feel like I already knew him. I hope I meet more people like him since somebody with that kind of attitude and heart for those around them is very rare in today's society.
Thank you for this post *hugs tight*
About three months before he left, he was not happy with me and I was too afraid to be turned down by him, so I never confronted and tell him my side of story, now I regret never will have the chance to anymore. I only hope he isn't still mad at me
and I don't want to regret with anyone else anymore
