SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and EAST MILLINOCKET – Timothy R. Powers, 41, passed away Sept. 12, 2005, in San Francisco, Calif., after a long courageous battle. He was born May 4, 1964, and was the cherished son of James and Gloria (Borrello) Powers, currently of Medway. Tim was a special gift to everyone who knew him. He was a devoted friend, loving son and brother, and a warm, giving soul. Tim spent his youth in East Millinocket and attended Opal Myrick Elementary School and Schenck High School, where he excelled in music and theater, and began his life-long love for the arts. After graduating from high school he attended New York University to pursue his love for the arts and writing. After many years living in New York, Tim moved to San Francisco, where he continued to pursue his love of writing. Throughout his life, Tim had a true passion for learning and helping others. This passion is what led him to pursue a degree in law. At the time of his death, Tim was a third-year law student at the New College School of Law in San Francisco. His ultimate dream was to work as a liaison for the under-served communities in San Francisco and the surrounding area. Tim is survived by his loving parents, Jim and Gloria Powers of Medway; his adoring sister, Lisa (Powers) Phillips and her husband, Mark, of Levant; and his loving brother, James Powers Jr., and his wife, Ruth, of Coleville, Wash. Tim will also be missed by his many cousins, aunts and uncles throughout Maine and beyond. Over the years, Tim and his family have been blessed with a loving circle of friends and loved ones who surrounded Tim before and during his long illness. Our love and undying gratitude go to special friends, Kevin Paulson and Brian Fisher of San Francisco, for their unwavering devotion to Tim and his family. Tim was also blessed to know his friend, Derik Cowan. The friends Tim has made over the years are too many to count; we thank each one of you. A celebration of Tim’s life will be held at a date to be determined and announced at a later time.
