Timo
Stone celebrates the life of Timothy “Timo” Maddox with a dedication and support of mental health.
Timothy "Timo" Maddox was an amazing individual and an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He had the ability to uplift an entire room with his smile and his bear hugs. He was an incredible athlete and budding rock climber.
Unbeknownst to even his closest friends, Timo suffered from severe depression, and fought it alone. At 23, Timo succumbed to his fight. It wasn’t a heartbreaking or disastrous event that caused it, he was tired of fighting. It was an absolutely devastating loss for his family and friends; his celebration of life service was bursting at the seams with people wanting to share stories of how Timo had blessed their lives.
Timo chose not to share his struggle with anyone but himself, and we'd wish he had. If you are struggling, please, please talk to someone. Below are some links where you can talk to a mental health professional for free.
