Timothy Carl Rew, 40, treasured son of Deborah Suiter, died on 17 July at New Hanover Hospital.
He was born on 13 July 1969 in Warrenton, Virginia, the only child of Deborah and Carl Sultan Rew. He was a graduate of the 1987 class of Annandale (VA.) High School.
He was preceded in death by his beloved stepfather Christopher Suiter. He is survived by his grandmother Donna Neiswonger and aunt Jane Lauby of Granite Shoals, Texas, stepbrother Geoffrey Suiter and wife Barbara of Alexandria, VA., cousins David Poarch of Manassas, VA., Denise Morton of China Grove, NC and Anthony Mallette of Crockett, TX.
Music was Timothy’s life. Most of his career was spent in the musical entertainment field working in various positions at clubs in Washington, DC and San Francisco. His last position was head of security at the Rock & Roll Hotel in Washington, DC. In addition he toured the country with rock performer Tim Reynolds as stage manager and tour driver.
Tim was a sensitive and brilliant young man, capable of wisdom and humor beyond his years; a shaman in training who would have become a wise elder. He was gentle soul who dearly loved his family and his cats. A man of peace, he is now at peace.
A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at Peacock-Newnam & White Funeral Service in Southport on Friday, 24 July at 4pm officiated by Dr. Jonathan R. Kelley. Visitation with the family begins at 3pm at the funeral home.

Wow, I don’t even really know what to say. I’m still shocked from the news of Tims passing. I can honestly say I’ve never met someone quite like Tim. Hard core Rock n Roll on the outside, with the heart as lovable as a kitten on the inside. Somehow, whether he was in a good mood, or a bad mood, he would always make me smile. Unsually making himself smile too in the process. Wherever you are Tim, I hope your have a smile on your face, your head held high and your hat pulled down low. Love you brother –D

Tim definitely left footprints behind. He held a special place in the hearts of so many. When my mother passed away, Tim comforted me and I will never forget that. At a Tim Reynold’s show he gave his “free drinks” passes to my daughter and I. He was such a sweetheart, very kind. He will be missed by more people than even he could imagine. I hope you are dancing with the angels, Tim!

to my Gentle Tim’y Rew,
it was always an absolute pleasure to see you, a blessing to have met you and kooler than kool knowing you. And now, even more than before, I will treasure the black stetson had you custom made especially for Diallo; as it represents the fondest memories of an authenticly good man with amazing soul. Dewon and I will never forget the touch of your friendship and Diallo will always know the story of the man who made him that black hat.
May your family find comfort in knowing that you were Loved, Respected and will be missed by many.
It comforts me to know your travels beyond this life will bring you to better place.
Thinking of you, watching over those of us still hear on earth, with that ever so descreatfully watchful eye of yours; brings a smile to my face.
farewell brother until we meet again

I am wondering if this is the Timmy Rew I knew as a young boy who lived at 4969 #109 Americana Dr. Annandale, VA in 1977. His mother was Debbie. We lived in #111. I think he must be the same Timmy Rew. Debbie, you and your family and friends have my heartfelt and deepest sympathy. My son, Buddy, died in 2007 at age 45, so I truly know what you are going through and the pain and heartache you feel. Let good memories and a life well lived help you and sustain you each day.

TIM WAS THE BEST KIND OF PERSON ANYONE COULD HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO KNOW, HE WAS HIMSELF.
IM AM BEYOND SADDENED BY HIS PASSING BUT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW HE WAS AND STILL IS THE KINDEST MAN IVE YET TO MEET, A RATHER KINDRED SPIRIT OF SORT. A BEAUTIFUL SOUL AMONG A WORLD OF CONFUSED ONES.
TIM IS THE KIND OF GUY TO NUTURE A WOUNDED BIRD BACK FROM SICKNESS AND PAIN TO A NEW SIGHT OF LIFE YET TO LIVE, TRULY A PERFECT SOUL IN MY EYES. DAY IN AND DAY OUT I NEVER SAW TIM IN ANY RAY OF LIGHT OTHER THAN A PEACEFUL BLISS, ALWAYS THE FIRST THERE AND THE LAST TO LEAVE, I LOVE YA BUDDY…..

Carl, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Timothy. I only remember him as a little boy, but it seems he grew up to be a great man from what I have read. Kitty
