TJ – In work, he made me feel like customer, and in life, he made feel like a person. When he said “How are you?”, he meant; each and every time. TJ will be missed, but not forgotten.

I’m in tears as I read this…I’m in disbelief. This has weighed heavily on my mind. The world lost a true caring human being. TJ was always there to help with anything you needed. He was an AWESOME PC Tech!! I loved chatting with him about his trips up North, his family stories and I loved joking with him. Our last conversation, he told me he finally used the microwave I bought him 2 years ago!! He always had a smile. TJ you were my good friend here on Earth and you will remain my good friend when we meet in Heaven. ♥ Sandra Correa

T.J. was a coworker, but more importantly, he was my friend. I really enjoyed the times he came over to my house to watch football (Go Vikings) or enjoy a holiday. He was a good guy and a caring soul. I will miss him, but I will never forget him.
My heart-felt condolences go out to his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Very sad loss. TJ was always very kind and helpful at work. RIP TJ; you will not be forgotten.

TJ had a huge heart, and loved helping others. When I think of him, I see him laughing and smiling. He was great at figuring out what was wrong with an installation or system. I can’t think of the Vikings without thinking of him. One of my favorite memories is when TJ and another football fan (but not a Vikings fan!) picked each other for Secret Santas! That meant TJ had to buy gear from another football team! Rest in peace.

TJ was friendly and kind. He was quick to help and always followed through to make sure the job was done right. His sense of humor sometimes surprised me and always made it fun to work with him. I’m honored to have known TJ, and I offer my sympathy to his family and friends.

My sympathies to the Kinn family. TJ was my “go to” IT guy. He was always willing to help, friendly and relentless when it came to resolving PC issues but more importantly he was a friend who I admired for his independence. I will miss our conversations about his beloved dog and our football discussions that would inevitably turn to the topic of the MN Vikings. Know that TJ was well liked, respected and will be dearly missed.

I referred to TJ as “My Buddy, TJ”. TJ and I worked fairly close together even though geographically we were a few miles apart. I was his student as he was always teaching so I could do my job better helping people at CTS. TJ was a great friend, ribbing me about my Seahawks (when he could) and stopping by to show me his new truck.
I will so miss TJ’s smiling face and his infectious laugh and I know that I am a much better person for having known him.
I will miss my buddy TJ more than he would ever know.

During his service there was an IT malfunction and all I could think was “was TJ playing with us”? There also was a flicker of light in the ceiling! He was watching!
