Tim was a wonderful human being. I am so sad to hear about his death. I loved his sense of humour, his love of music, his creativity, his passion for social justice, but most of all I loved his heart. He has left a lot of broken hearts.

He dedicated himself to fighting white supremacy & he sustained himself through *severe* depression through that commitment and through a deep lovely passionate relationship to music without which life wasn’t worth living.

Tim was a great guy, and we had many good times and laughs at Sacred Heart. John mentioned Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”, and it is funny as whenever I have though of Tim thru the years, I also instantly associate him with that piece of work. He was always light years ahead of us back then, too.

Back in the early 80’s, Tim moved back to England. He bought my Schwinn BMX bicycle before he left (apparently no one had BMX bikes in England at the time). In his words, his BMX bike was the envy of the neighborhood, and within a few years BMX bikes were readily available. It would not surprise me one bit if Tim was solely responsible for creating the BMX bike fad in England, as he said every kid wanted one after they saw his.

Tim was a genuine person and touched many lives in a positive way. The world needs more people like him. I wish to offer my sincerest condolences and prayers to his family and friends. Rest in peace, my friend.

Tim was my first friend at Sacred Heart Jr. High School. I remember the funny stories he would tell along lines of the water bed story in this blog. When I would visit his house one of our most popular activities was to mix DJ tapes. At the time Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” had been released. I remember his passion for music even then and he had greatly influenced my musical tastes. I am deeply saddened by his loss and offer my condolences to his family. God Bless.

Hi there from over the pond. He have just heard about the tragic death of Tim Haslett.
Tim was like a member of our family back in the 1980s when he was at Burford School England with our son Christopher.
When the family returned to the USA Christopher lived with the Hasletts in Boston in his gap year. At this time another tragedy hit the family when Tim’s father took his own life an event that left a lasting impression.
Tim often stayed with us and was a real fun character. He will be greatly missed. Incidentally Tim’s mother Nancy could trace her ancestory back to the Pilgrim Fathers having arrived in the New World aboard the ship Anne.
Best regards from Corfe Castle in Dorset.
