Timothy Larivee

Behind my smile is everything youll never understand

FRANKLIN - Timothy John Larivee, age 21, passed away unexpectedly as the result of an automobile accident on Sunday morning March 11, 2012.

Tim was born August 29, 1990 in St. Albans the son of Johnny & Nancy (Longe) Larivee.

Tim was a 2008 graduate at Missisquoi Valley Union High School. He was a very hard worker trying his hand at many things including working for his uncle Dan delivering on the IBA route, working alongside his brother Cody for his Uncle Marks general contracting business, helping with the farm chores at his grandparents Richard & Shirley Longe farm in Sheldon and at the age of 17 he started working at Franklin Foods in Enosburg Falls as a general laborer and then as a machine operator and was currently a cheese maker.

Timmys hobbies had everything to do with his love of the outdoors including hunting, bow hunting, trout fishing, ice fishing, hiking (Stowe and other mountains), target shooting, canoeing, skydiving, snowmobiling and 4-wheeling always finding the biggest mud hole. He also loved his Toyota truck Rock Warrior adding performance parts to it himself so he would be successful in several truck pulls that he entered at the Franklin & Addison County Field Days. If you didnt hear the load noise of the truck you sure couldnt miss hearing the load music. He had a passion for riding motorcycles and perfected the wheelie. Tim liked to work on motors gaining knowledge and understanding from watching and helping his father work on motors. He also liked to play cards and looked forward to his trips to the casino with his friends.

Tim was a quiet private person with a smile as big as his heart. He had a great sense of humor that unless you knew Timmy you probably didnt get it. Those that knew him will always be truly blessed and he will be deeply missed by his family especially by his siblings whom Tim had a special bond with unlike any other. Timothy shared a special connection with his mother, one that he could go to her with any issue or problem and he knew that her love would prevail.
