Timothy Desmond - Obituary

imothy "TJ" Aloysius Desmond, Jr., a 29 year resident of Davidsonville, died on October 30, 2008 at Anne Arundel Medical Center from injuries he sustained in a motor vehicle accident. TJ was 29. Born January 20, 1979, in Annapolis, MD, TJ attended South River High School. He worked for Quest Service group as a Project manager in Retail Construction. TJ was an avid Washington Redskin fan. He loved his Rottweiler, Maggie and enjoyed shooting pool, and flying. TJ was very quick witted and he had a great sense of humor. TJ had recently told his family that he would like it this year, if they did not exchange gifts with each other, but rather go to the Annapolis Mall and pick names off the Salvation Army's Angel Tree instead. It was something that he did every year and enjoyed a lot. Last year he purchased a Tonka truck for a child whose name he picked off the tree, and it reminded him of when he was a little boy. TJ is survived by his parents Tim and Jean Desmond, Sr. of Davidsonville, MD, his sisters Amy Bolton of Woodstock, GA and Carrie Desmond of Edgewater, MD. Friends are invited to TJ's Life Celebration on Wednesday November 5, 2008 from 1-3 & 5-8pm with a prayer service starting at 7:00pm, at the George P. Kalas Funeral Home, P.A. 2973 Solomons Island Rd. Edgewater, MD 21037. Interment private. In lieu of flowers TJ's family asks that you participate in the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program, this holiday season. The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program provides new clothing or toys for children of needy families. A sponsoring company or corporation places a Christmas tree in a secure, high-pedestrian traffic area or lobby. The tree is decorated with numbered paper angel tags with the first name, age and gender of a child who will receive the gift. Contributors remove one or more tags from the tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the child or children described on the tags.
