Until Forever was created in loving memory of Tim Schmidt Jr., who was taken from us at just 19 years old in a mass shooting on Halloween night 2024 in Orlando, Florida.

Tim Jr. was a UCF student, a loyal friend, and a young man whose kindness touched thousands. He had a quiet way of showing up for others — welcoming new kids so they never felt alone, standing up for classmates, protecting friends who felt unsafe, and even taking a job he didn’t need just to help a friend earn a referral bonus.

Helping people wasn’t something he talked about — it’s simply who he was. His life was full of heart, generosity, and purpose.

Until Forever was founded to carry Tim Jr.’s spirit forward — his instinct to help, his loyalty, and his unwavering compassion. We support families affected by senseless violence with financial assistance, grief resources, advocacy, and remembrance.

Every act of kindness we extend carries a piece of him forward.
This is Tim Jr.’s legacy.
This is Until Forever.
