๐ With Deepest Sympathy, We Remember Mayor Tim Verzal ๐
It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Mayor Tim Verzal.
Mayor Tim leaves behind a lasting legacy in Deer Park, but what I will remember most is the way he made people feel welcomed and supported.
When I first came to Deer Park, Tim handed me his card and said, โIโm the mayor, and if anyone gives you a hard time, you tell them you know the mayor and theyโll take care of everything.โ ๐ That was Tim, welcoming, encouraging, and always ready to help make something happen.
Iโm not sure who can officially take credit for dreaming up Friday Night on Main, it may have come from our little core revitalization group, but I do know this: Mayor Tim was instrumental in making our very first Friday Night on Main happen in 2025. He believed in bringing people together and helped turn an idea into something our community could enjoy.
And I know that is only one small example. There are undoubtedly countless things throughout Deer Park that Tim quietly encouraged, facilitated, supported, or helped bring to life, things that are now simply part of what makes our community special.
His impact will continue to be felt in the community he served and in the lives of the people who had the privilege of knowing him.
Mayor Tim, you will be deeply missed, and you will be forever remembered. ๐๐
Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all those who loved him.
