Jake@River City Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Tim Huynh was an active ARC member with the handle "wizardx322". I'm sure many of you had the pleasure of being in his company. The following is a posting from our Facebook: "We would like to take a moment to honor a good friend and member of the River City Aquatics family. Tim Huynh passed yesterday evening, March 16th, after a battle with cancer. Tim worked at River City for several months and continued to help out in-between his hospital stays. He was a genuinely great human being, I am honored to have had the opportunity to be his friend, and his smile will be greatly missed. We love you Tim." -Jake and the RCA Crew ***** added by mframe ****** People wishing to contribute to Tim's family through ARC can do so through the store here.

SAM Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Tim was a good friend and a generous person. Most of my SPS knowledge came from him (actually inherited a lot of his SPS). My tank would not be at where it is without his support, knowledge, and encouragement. He will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy V Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 So sorry to hear about Tim. He came over several months ago to trade some frags and we talked for about an hour and a half. Nice, generous dude...the world needs more people like this. RIP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I moved this to increase the visibility. I had the pleasure of meeting Tim a few times over the years and feel sorry for his family. He was a really nice guy. Tim: GIMME! RIP Tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Man. I just fragged the meteor shower cyphastrea he gave me years ago, tonight. He'll live on through the coral he propagated and spread around. Super nice guy. Had no idea he was this sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 This makes me very sad to hear. Tim was a good friend and was one of the main people who got me hooked on SPS. Probably 50% of my SPS came from him. I was just at his house 2 weeks ago to pick up some frag plugs and to get back the biopellets he borrowed from me. He looked a little thin but I just assumed by the way he was talking about it and his happy-go-lucky attitude when talking to him that he would be just fine. He was a good man and a great contributor to this forum. He will be sorely missed. A part of his legacy will always live on in my tank and those frags will be shared throughout our community. That way he will always live on and will be chasing those reefing dreams forever. Rest in peace my friend. If anybody has any details on his funeral service, please share as I would like to attend if it is open to the public. I will see if I can drop by his family and express our condolences and find out any information about the funeral services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard L Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Tim and I went in together on a frag of Sherita's pink hippos at the frag swap last year. We agreed to let them grow out for a month or so in my tank and then split them since the 4 polyps were so tightly packed. He'd text me every couple of months to see if they were ready and we would trade a few lol's since these zoas refused to grow beyond the four polyps. Last week, 5 months later, we were trading text again and I suggested that he take the zoas and see if they would do better in his tank. I never heard a reply and I now imagine he had more on his plate than worrying about zoanthids. Crushes me when I think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm so sad to read this I bought my first coral from him, and several after. Such a nice guy and so helpful. I'm going to miss him around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Monnat Jr Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Last night I was too bummed out to respond. I didn't know Tim very well, but we were on a first name basis since I bought some frags from him and occasionally saw him at RCA. He was a great guy, and his passing is a big loss for the Austin reefing community and our community in general. I was conflicted about 'liking' the OP, but I did as thanks to Jake for posting it.

Do you frag it and throw it on the ground like a drink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Would anyone be interested in chipping in for something for his family? Tim obviously was part of our ARC family, and I think it would be nice for us, eg ARC, to send our group condolences to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'd be down to throw in for some flowers or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
