If you recall, back in October, I wrote about how the 2024 Rockies helped provide an escape for my dad as he began a battle against liver cancer in May of that year. That article was difficult for me to write, and I fear this one is no easier, as my dad, David Timmins, passed away on June 9, 2025.
First and foremost, I express my deepest gratitude to the kind words shared on that original article as well as the accommodations of the Purple Row family for covering things for me last week while we dealt with everything following his passing.
