Timothy Patrick Devine, 30, of Groton CT, passed away on on July 24th, 2012. Tim was born at Yale-New Haven Hospital on July 4, 1982. He was a graduate of the University of Connecticut and the Connecticut Fire Academy. He was a dedicated firefighter with the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department and the owner of CrossFit Groton. Today is not a day to mourn his loss, but rather to celebrate the amazing things that Tim did for so many; from his service to the community as a firefighter, to the many people that he helped make amazing changes in their health and wellness, to the money that he raised for so many worthy organizations such as The Wounded Warriors Project, St. Jude Hospital, Autism Speaks, and Relay for Life. On July 24th, 2012 we lost a brother, a son, a trainer, and a friend, but the community that he built at CFG lives on. Tim was a mentor and an inspiration to all of us, and everything we do at CrossFit Inguz is with Tim in our minds and our hearts.

Oh what to say about our wonderful Timmy. Even before he grew up to be a wonderful contributor of the outside world, Tim was the kind, gentle soul of Brucker Pentway. Walking younger children on the Pentway to the school bus and sharing his gentle spirit with all of us all the time. I always remember driving down the Pentway and my heart jumping with joy seeing Tim walking to or from the bus stop. It gave me time to stop and just talk with him. So so miss my Timmy but I am so so blessed to have shared part of my life with this amazing kind human being.
