Timothy William Trout, age 50, passed away in the Cayman Islands on May 20, 2016, due to complications from a fall. Timothy was born in Stamford, Connecticut on April 11, 1966, the son of Dr. Monroe and Sandra (Lemke) Trout of Appleton.

I knew Tim while we attended The College of William and Mary in Virginia. We were suite mates in Dupont Hall freshman year and I spent some time helping to manage the mens basketball team that same year; Tim was always a kind person. I feel bad that I did not know of his passing until years later. My condolences to Tim's family. Tim and I lost contact after our second year at William and Mary but I remember him fondly. From what I have been able to piece together as of late, it seems that Tim had a good life doing what he outlined he planned to do to us so many years ago. Tim is missed. Sincerely, Richard Cohen

I knew Tim and Susie for only a brief time. But Isla, my ex-wife Susan and I always enjoyed their company. I am so happy to hear that Susie and Tim had children. Susie if you are reading this, my condolences and Isla (now 13) and I are so happy you guys were able to start a family.

I knew Tim back in 1996-8 he was a kind decent man. Always curious, thoughtful and considerate. I like him enormously and sadly lost contact with him. I‚Äôll rememebr his boyish enthusiasm for movies and making movies. He never lost that sense of childhood wonder. I‚Äôll miss him. So sorry and best wishes to all his family and relatives.

I knew Tim very briefly when he lived in Chicago. I had done some work for him and for Trout Trading. I never forgot his graciousness and thought I would look him up. I am shocked and saddened by this news. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to his family.

I dont know why I thought of Tim recently... we went to East School together, was a classmate, and enjoyed many fun visits to Mariomi Road..sad to hear this news... he touched many lives and he is still and will always be in our minds... my thoughts and prayers are with all of the Trouts, his family, and kids.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Our Family was deeply sadden to hear this news. Tim spent Christmas one year with my parents & myself. My Brother is Nelson Franse. Over that Christmas in New Mexico we considered him a part of our family.

A flat stone skipping across the water, bouncing off a brief maybe 4 weeks with Timothy as his computer consultant last 2 weeks of October, first 2 of November, 1999. Starting at the Four Seasons, Newport Beach, CA; ending at his office in Monaco, 2nd week November, 1999. Flights and stops between SoCal and Niece, FR, computer equipment all the way. Working for Tim to produce what he wanted brought to reality the fierce loyalty I can generate, offered to someone who respects me for who I am and nothing more. From that, the ability to get the job done no matter what environment I find myself in. 22 years his senior, it is clear that my mission is to pass on to those who follow what I learned from being with and in service of Tim. We shall meet again. Olivia will be there, too. She could navigate the Mediterranean in this life. Tim, thank you for your contribution to me.

So sad to hear this news. Rest in peace, Tim.

Oh my God. I just heard about this from a good friend in Chicago days for me. I am soo sorry to hear about this Christine! I don't know if you will remember me. I dated Bill Lempke years ago. We used to have fun together. I live in Atlanta now. Let me know if I can do anything for you my friend. Jana Boehm

Tim was an important part of an amazing time for us. We remember him fondly and often. May God comfort you in this difficult time.

To a man unlike any other with a heart to match. Tim was a human being with so much love, the world is lonely without him. We are all lonelier without him....

I'm so sad, I can't even fine the words to express my fillings. My family loved Tim. I was the last person to travel with Tim and for 6 month I got to know one of the most generous, loving caring person that i meet. We had so many fun memories and I will treasure them for ever. I miss him very much.

Praying that you will find comfort in memories and the knowledge that the Lord will bring you peace. Don and I enjoyed the times we shared with Tim and with the Trout family. Our thoughts are with you.

Although the years have passed I have found memories of Tim from our days on and off the court. God bless you and your family.

RIP Big Tim. Always a teammate.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Tim was such a vital part of the NCHS family to many, no matter what class they were in. He had the reputation of being a fierce competitor while never losing his ability to play with sportsmanship and be a gentleman. He will be missed.

My condolences to Tim and his immediate and extended family. Tim was part of the fabric of NCHS class of 84. Tim, you were a great teammate. Rest in peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

May God bless you all and bring you peace.

So sad to hear of Tim's passing today. While we were at William and Mary together I considered him one of my closest friends. One of my regrets is that we weren't able to stay in touch after we left Williamsburg. Prayers to the entire family. Mark Boddy
