A number of people that I care deeply about could be described with these words from Tim's family... and that is incredibly painful to think about:
"Our beloved Tim was a seeker, a fragile artistic soul searching for answers to existential questions. An over-achieving perfectionist who traveled and worked hard at a pace that led to extreme stress. When he stopped touring, he wanted to find a balance in life to be happy and be able to do what he loved most – music. He really struggled with thoughts about Meaning, Life, Happiness. He could not go on any longer. He wanted to find peace. Tim was not made for the business machine he found himself in; he was a sensitive guy who loved his fans but shunned the spotlight."

I'm sorry humanity could not stretch forward to meet you where you were and that you never found a suitable hiding place to mend your soul. "I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have two hands..."
Thank you, Tim. Thank you for everything.
