Timothy Andrew Brown Mirando

 Timothy "Tim" Andrew Brown Mirando, 42, of Palatine, Illinois, peacefully passed away in the arms of his devoted wife on February 13, 2024. Tim grew up in Lake Zurich, Illinois, where he first met his childhood sweetheart Jamie at the age of 16. He told his friends that she was the girl that he would one day marry and in 2018, that dream of his came to fruition. Tim was a big animal lover who had an adventurous spirit and a great sense of humor. He was smart, silly and loved to help others, especially children and the elderly. He spoke without a filter, fiercely protected those he loved, and had a sweet tooth that never came loose. Tim worked in and owned his own construction company, a job that he was passionate about. In 2007, Tim began his journey into MMA fighting, where he developed his clothing brand Total Devastation.     

Tim leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend, Jamie Salemi, whom he lovingly referred to as his bug; cherished children Benjamin, Isabelle, Hunter, Royce and Wyatt; parents Susan and Mark Mirando, sister Gina and brother Joey (Allison). Tim was preceded in death by his biological father and his treasured grandfather, who he was very close with.

A celebration of Tim's life will be held Sunday, September 29th at 1pm at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 1190 N Hicks Rd, Palatine, IL 60067

"How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too?

The world is beating you downI'm around through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my museMy worst distraction, 

my rhythm and bluesI can't stop singingIt's ringing in my head for you

My head's underwaterBut I'm breathing fineYou're crazy, and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me loves all of you..."
