Timothy J Steele

West Point, 2009

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Chris Hurst on August 26, 2011:

Tim and I first met in the summer of '04 at USMAPS as we endured the hardships of CCBT. Over time, I found myself training along side him for cross country team and swimming intramurals. I remember specifically having a really hard time with the butterfly stroke and Tim coached me for hours on improving my form. As we moved through our cadet careers, we would often travel to the Anderson's house for Army/Navy weekend and have the most fun times.

We didn't connect too often after senior year, but I always watched him and his new family grow into something magnificent. I still can't believe my friend is gone. The world is a lesser place without him.

Tim, I love you as a brother and hope that you are teaching the butterfly to all the angels in heaven.

Until I meet you down the line, be thou at peace.
