After his transition in 2015, a memorial fund was established in Timothy Francis Jones’ name on the Rush University Medical Center website. In lieu of flowers, family, friends and fans were encouraged to donate to this fund, which goes to cancer research. As a family, we make annual contributions instead of Christmas presents. Through the thoughtful generosity of many individuals, we have reached our goal of $5,000. Many donated what they could and some gave anonymously. Some even donated multiple times to help reach our goal and honor Tim’s memory. This fund was our first attempt at establishing Tim’s legacy and we can never show enough gratitude to those who helped us reach this goal.
