A Massachusetts family is grieving an unimaginable loss after 22-year-old Timothy Howard died from a severe allergic reaction to peanuts just days after celebrating his college graduation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Timothy, a recent graduate from the University of Rhode Island with a degree in Communication Studies, suffered a fatal anaphylactic reaction on May 24. His parents, Tim and Patty Howard, said the reaction came on suddenly in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cHe came in and woke us up and said that he couldn\u2019t breathe,\u201d his father recalled in a heartbreaking interview with\u00a0NBC affiliate TurnTo10<\/a>. \u201cAt that point, it unfolded very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite immediately administering his EpiPen and calling 911, Timothy\u2019s\u00a0parents<\/a>\u00a0were unable to save him. The allergen had already triggered a full-blown crisis.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Patty later shared the devastating news on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>: \u201cIt is with heavy hearts we share the loss of our son Timmy to a severe anaphylactic reaction to peanuts. We just celebrated his college graduation and he had his whole life ahead of him. Our hearts are broken and we now have joined a club no one wants to be a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

She urged others to \u201chug your\u00a0children<\/a>\u00a0a little tighter today, don\u2019t sweat the small stuff, and spread kindness to this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the wake of his tragic passing, Timothy\u2019s fraternity brothers launched a fundraiser in his name to support Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE). The\u00a0Give A Hand<\/a>\u00a0campaign aims to raise awareness about life-threatening food allergies and help fund research into anaphylaxis treatment.<\/p>\n

The fundraiser has already surpassed its $25,000 goal, with over $27,000 donated at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

A tribute on the page, written by Timothy\u2019s friend Kourosh Emami, paints a picture of a young man deeply loved by all who knew him: \u201cTimmy was just beginning what promised to be a remarkable journey. He was driven, kind, and deeply loved\u2026 He made people feel safe and seen\u2026 He didn\u2019t complain, even when things were hard. His positivity was quiet but powerful, and his heart was as genuine as they come.\u201d<\/p>\n

It continued: \u201cHe truly was one of the good ones; gentle, thoughtful, and full of love for others. His unexpected passing has left a profound void, but we are committed to honoring his memory in a way that brings purpose and change.\u201d<\/p>\n

At just 22, Timothy had already left a powerful impression on the world around him. Now, through the efforts of his loved ones, his legacy will continue, spreading kindness, awareness, and hope in his name.<\/strong><\/p>\n
