Today has been 1 year you left this world.  I know you no longer have pain and I am great full for that. Thank you for loving my best friend and giving her a great life, kids, and family.  
Love and miss you !❤️

You will never be forgotten dear friend. Such fond memories 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Love,
Donnie and Kristine Arax

Tim was so kind! I remember when he and Lisa started dating❤️ He thought us Movable Feast gals were crazy😂❤️ I am so glad I got to meet him❤️

I’ve had a tough time putting into words how I feel about losing my brother Timmy.  We were 2 years apart, didn’t get along most of our childhood and the truth is, I wasn’t a very nice big sister.  Timmy deserved better.  He was always popular, handsome, funny, excelled in every sport he played, and had many friends, many of whom remained lifelong friends.  I’m happy to say  as we matured, got married and became parents ourselves, we found we had a lot of fun together as a family.  Tim could make us laugh like nobody could and did hilarious impersonations of all of us.  McKenna picked up that talent from her father at a young age and entertained us just like her dad.  There was always lots of laughter when Tim was around.  I miss our morning talks with him and Lisa.  Joe and I will cherish these memories and keep them alive in our hearts.  I will forever miss you and love you my brother ..Rest In peace.   Teri 

When will the pain ease up?  I miss you more  than you can imagine-your cheerfulness , your wit, and most of all your silliness. Save my place Tim-  when we meet you’ll get the biggest hug ever.  I will love you til the end of my time .

This was when we went to the KISS concert in Fresno February 2019 together. Tim knew how much of a KISS fan John is and called and said “ let’s go” and we had a great time. Although we only saw each other a few times a year, for sure each Feb in Pismo, it was a great 20+ years of laughing, sincere talks about life and kids, golf or sports, listening to music and its history, your quick wit, or just enjoying sitting at the campsite or beach having a drink, enjoying your company. You, Lisa, Alec and McKenna, always “Team Nolan” supporting each other and doing what ever it takes to succeed as a family. You will be missed by many Tim. We were honored to know and love you. Until we meet again.

Tim was an amazing man and we are all going to miss him very much.  I truly enjoyed spending time with Tim and Lisa over the years and always looked for opportunities to visit them in Fresno and at the beach.  Tim and I  had many common interests and it was always so comfortable hanging out with him.  Whether we were golfing, watching football or just hanging out with our families it was always a good time.  We spent many days out on the golf course together and just like everything else he was a great golfer.  in our earlier years we played softball against each other in tournaments.  I remember one year when we both went to the state championships.  Tim was picked up to play with a team called the NADZ (Go Nadz!).  I remember that when he wasn't playing he would come to watch our games and would lead  cheers in the stands.  I also really loved his quick wit and humor which was always on point.  
 In 1993 I decided to move to Utah and I traveled to Fresno to catch a flight and Tim and Lisa were kind enough to let me stay at their house.  While I was there Lisa went into labor and I was at the hospital when Alec was born.  I bought Alec a small Vikings helmet and I remember that Tim wanted to put it on Alec's head and take a picture.  I remember us talking and thinking that it might fit...But Lisa wasn't;t having any of it.

Tim and Lisa together raised two amazing children who we are all so proud of.  They are amazing people that have excelled in school and in life.  There is no better legacy than your children and Tim & Lish have created a great legacy in theirs.

Rest in Peace Tim

These is no easy way to say goodbye to someone who was so special and loved by all.  Tim is easily one of my most favorite humans and someone I was lucky to call my family.  There is just something extra special
about him.  Besides his quick wit and gift for making everyone feel like his friend,  there was  something about Tim that always made me feel a little bit better after being around him.  I especially enjoyed  watching the relationship he had with Lisa.  They could make you laugh over the simplest of  things and  were such a fun couple to be around.  I am heartbroken at  the loss Lisa, Alec,  McKenna  and his family are experiencing, but I am also heartbroken at my loss.  All the future laughs, good times and memories that will be a little less special without him.  

Tim, although I did not get the pleasure of being a part of your family or knowing you for decades. I have the privilege to say you welcomed us into your home and to be part of your family from the first moment we met. Together you and Lisa radiated happiness and love for your family. I was lucky enough to be a small piece of that and to spend many family gatherings, dinners, and trips filled with an abundance of love, fun and laughs. I could never say “Thank You” enough for loving all my children. As Uncle Tim you showed them your support by attending birthday parties, school events, making hospital visits to hold them only hours after their birth, to endless FaceTime calls to catch up but most of all for finding the joy in all the little things they said and did. I will continue to share your funny stories with others, especially the vanilla ice cream one because its truly one of my favorites. You will forever be missed and remembered with lots of love. 

My love for this young man was priceless. I loved you like my son. So many fond memories of all our many beautiful trips, especially our annual Pismo Beach trip.  You will always remain close to my heart ❤️ 

Love,
Aunt Sally

To our beloved Timmy - we still can't believe you have been taken from us! Until we meet again, we will cherish the memories we made growing up as kids and the ones we made with our own families! We pray that God's grace and love pours over your entire family as you meet the challenging days ahead. He was Tim Nolan Strong and we grieve so deeply right alongside all of you... with our love and support always - David, Lisa, Jacob, Dillan, and Michael Murray... 

My most heartfelt sympathy on the passing of Timmy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I will always remember Tim’s beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor! He will always be remembered with love.  My heart and sympathy to Lisa and  all  Tim’s  family. He will be missed by all who knew him.  May he be in heaven with all the angels, God bless you Tim.

My Uncle Timmy will be forever missed in our family. He was the life of the party and the one we all looked to to make everyone laugh. I remember him always making fun of Grandma and leaving us all in tears. His sarcastic wit is truly what will always leave an impression on me. He was the best dad to Alec and McKenna and was always so proud of them. I remember thinking he was the cool fun dad when I was little and I used to love spending the weekend at the their house and playing office in Uncle Timmy’s office. Aunt Lisa was by your side all these years, and now I know you are by hers. Rest easy up there Uncle… we love you and miss you so much. Save a spot for all of us. Jenna Wolfe 

Tim, you were an awesome person! You always had my back and gave me moral support. I will always remember what a good brother you were to me. I have tons of memories I am lucky to have spent with you. I remember watching you play softball for the Valley Giants. Having the same exact mannerisms as your favorite player Will Clark. Pulling that sleeve up just before you make your at bat. I remember going to pizza and you would put your name down as “Sweeney” so they would announce it on the speaker. Or the times you would ask me to do the “Peoples Eyebrow” or do the Macho Man’s voice to get a good laugh. Hearing you sing the chorus of catchy song that would get it stuck in my head… Calling me Hands of Stone cause I would drop your deep football passes but laughed when I said call me HOG for Hands of Gold! So many fun times I will always cherish. Thank you for always being there. Love you Tim!

I am blessed to have had such a wonderful brother in law as Tim was to me.  I felt welcomed by him into the Nolan family clan from the first time we met.

His sense of humor and his story telling always made me smile and laugh.  Never a dull moment around Tim.  

Seeing Tim at Fig Garden Golf Club and being everyone's best buddy always cracked me up.   He was the mayor out there holding court, and everyone wanted to be on his team.

Beneath his sense of humor was a sensitive side, and most dear to him was his family and children.  He was immensely proud of his children. He told me many times if he and Lisa only did one thing right by raising two wonderful children (Alec / McKenna) his life would be a success.  Well done Tim!

Well Tim my brother; you did many things right!  

Your passing leaves a hole in my heart that only can be filled by  fond memories of our time together and by God's unlimited grace and mercy.

I pray for you and strength and healing for the whole family.  Until we see each other again.  

Love you Brother

John Arizcuren


I will always cherish all my memories of my kind, generous, and hilarious Uncle Tim. I look back so fondly on our weekend trips to Fresno as kids, Pismo Beach vacations (and the inside jokes), surprise socially distanced front yard lunches, and all the fun times in between. I’ll never forget the moment that Tim reached up to hold my face in the hospital just like he did when I was a little girl - that was such a special gift he gave me. I love him so much and will miss him always. 

He was the proudest dad, I know he will be looking down on and protecting his family (and finding little ways to annoy Lisa).

Love and miss you, Uncle Tim.

The Leonard family has had lots of good memories of Tim Nolan. Like celebrating  birthday parties, having a barbecue, celebrating holidays, attending the kids sport events, going out to dinner, and much more.  We will miss our neighbor Tim. 

Little did you know you were always flying Tim!
See you at the merge brother.

My bro was always such a big Giants fan and I guess he passed the torch to me…love going to the games!

I was lucky to have him as my big brother for 52 years. I couldn’t say Timmy so he became known as “Mimi” which stuck for many years. He was always teasing, joking, and keeping everyone laughing. He was the bright light in our family and his death leaves a huge hole in our hearts. 
I’ll cherish all the many happy memories we made. Gone but never forgotten. Love you big bro.


I miss you Timmy. I miss your jokes, spending time  at the beach or watching movies with you. This picture is from my birthday. You were my biggest surprise. ❤️❤️

I had the distinct privilege of welcoming Tim back to Washington, DC for his daughter, McKenna's law school graduation. To say I was impressed by the zeal and humor of this man is an understatement: beating us to coffee early each morning, telling stories with that cool, smooth sarcastic delivery, and handling himself with strength and courage that I don't think many could have displayed. He told me he was happy I was loving his daughter and that I was "a fine young man." I will carry those words with me for the rest of my life. Thank you, Tim and I can't wait for you to see your son and daughter continue to make you so proud. I promised to you that I would support them and Lisa with all my strength and I will fight to do so everyday.  Don't be alarmed when there is a splash in the pool, it's just me making you smile while you enjoy your morning coffee. 
- Love, Matt

I loved celebrating this special day with you and will always remember my law school graduation as one of the happiest days of my life. Thank you for supporting my dream to be a lawyer and showing me love and laughter along the way. I love you and I’m proud to call you my Dad. -McKenna

Sending my deepest condolences to Lisa,  and all the family and friends. Tim has an incredible spirt, and he will always be apart of all of our lives. Till we meet again in the BIG casino Tim and then we will celebrate once again!
God bless, and God's speed.
