Let me tell you about this man I know: Tim Larsen started his life in Chicago in 1967, and grew up with a knack for business from a young age. From the streets to the tire shop, he was slick wit it. He came to Youngstown in 1997 to work in the tire industry at BNR, followed by his wife and his first venture with Larsen Gold Distributing in 1999, leading to the opening of RT Tire Co in 2003. RT Tire closed shop in 2024, and dad learned of his diagnosis shortly thereafter and has been fighting it with everything he has since. The man knows his hustle, and he knows dedication and persistence pay off. He has always gone out of his way to help others get ahead, and he has been the mentor and father-figure to many at the start of their journey. As long as they were willing to put in the work, he went above and beyond to help, regardless of mistakes, he had your back. A caring husband to his wife of 23 years (partner of 28 years), a father of five, an older brother of one, and a mentor and friend to countless others, he is leaving behind countless memories and selfless favors to numerous individuals. We are looking to cover final expenses and future expenses that come after his passing. Any donations will be a blessing for the family in this difficult time and will be beyond appreciated to let our dad rest comfortably without worrying about leaving anything unsettled behind for his family. Thank you for all of your love and support. The Larsens From Dad on July 5: Where do I start? 20 months ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal renal cell cancer (kidney). There is no cure, only the hope to keep you alive until they find one. My treatment was an IV DRIP every 2 weeks basically. My body responded decently at first but a part (metastasis) of the cancer never did. The IV drip basically stopped working. The second drug they started me on had the shopping cart of side effects which I used to laugh about with family and friends saying that they were worse. Well they kind of were. I had a major heart attack. I have made the decision to accept hospice care at my home as my decision moving forward for healthcare. I am not going to fight an incurable cancer, I am not going to put my heart through any more stress than it takes to breathe. It doesn't mean that I am stopping the fight. I will fight for every last breath I can get. I told the hospice that I want to be their longest term at home patient so I have a new goal to work towards. I have bounced back a couple times from what I thought were my final hours thanks to the prayers from all of you. My Family and I are so appreciative of them. Keep them coming if you don't mind. I just wanted to let everyone know how humbled my Family and I am at the amount of love and respect that I have received from hundreds of friends. I love you all for making us feel so special. Thank you for sharing your life with me. It's been an awesome ride.
