The company mourned his loss, writing:

The Managing Director of GenX Radio Suffolk, James Hazell, also expressed what a devastating loss this death is for all who knew and loved Tim, writing:

According to James, Tim had come out of “radio retirement” to host his morning show and “bring commercial radio back to his beloved Suffolk.” He was most famous in the mid-1980s at Radio Orwell where he was known as having a “big personality” that shined through the airwaves during the station’s Saturday afternoon sports show, per the BBC. He also worked at Smooth Radio Nottingham and Leicester Sound throughout his career.

Tim was described as a great friend to colleagues who would go out of his way to take others “under his wing,” his former co-worker Stephen Foster told the outlet. Meanwhile, BBC Radio‘s Gaynor Marshall added that he was a “super caring and all around lovely man.” Virgin Radio UK presenter Amy Voce mourned:

Tim leaves behind his mother, brother, sister, and son. So, so sad. We are sending them all love as they grieve his untimely death. R.I.P.
