It is with profound sorrow that we share the tragic passing of Timmie Favorite, an incoming 9th grader who was preparing to begin a new chapter at Saginaw United High School this fall. His sudden departure has left a deep and painful void in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
Timmie was a gifted student and a standout athlete at Thompson Middle School, excelling in football, basketball, and track. More than his athletic accomplishments, Timmie was known for his humble spirit, respectful demeanor, and uplifting presence. He embodied the promise and potential of our next generation — a young man whose light touched many lives.
Mr. Derrick Wyatt, former assistant principal at Thompson and now assistant principal at Saginaw United, reflected on Timmie’s impact:
“Timmie was a joy to be around. His energy was magnetic, and his character spoke volumes. We were all excited to see the great things he would accomplish at Saginaw United.”
Our Saginaw Public Schools community mourns together during this incredibly difficult time. We extend our deepest condolences to Timmie’s family, friends, teammates, coaches, and teachers. We are holding you close in our hearts.
Though his time with us was far too short, Timmie Favorite’s spirit will live on in the memories, stories, and love he leaves behind.
You will not be forgotten, Timmie. Rest in eternal peace.
