Timmy,
I want to thank you for being such a good role model for my younger brother. In a society that is so self centered and self gratifying you give all the glory to God. That is the type of man my brother should be looking up to. You have made my job as an older sister a little bit easier. Thank you and GO GATORS!

Dear Tim,

While your performances on the field over these four years have made being a Gator football fan even more enjoyable, it has been your actions off the field that have truly been inspiring. You completely deserve all of the accolades you have earned for your actions on and off the field. I wish you the best of luck in the future. See you in New Orleans.

Tim,
Thank you for all the wonderful memories. You have been a tremendous joy to watch as an athlete, and have shown nothing but class and humility in the way you’ve conducted yourself with fans. You are the man! I had the honor of meeting you briefly on two different occasions at UF, I’ll always remember how gracious and down to earth you were. Best of luck with everything in the future, I have no doubt you will find success in whatever you do. Psalms 107:1.

Dear Tim,
How lucky for the Gator Nation that you chose UF! The convergence of you with Urban Meyer created the power to influence the lives of many people: your teammates, the gator faithful, and thousands of young people who have honored you as their real-life hero.
Your sincerity and genuine humility shine forth every time you are in the spotlight. I hope that you always keep the rare quality of keeping fame and success in perspective.

Have a happy life, wherever you go and whatever you do. You deserve the very best.
Sincerely,
Sue Doker

Dear Tim,

My 3 year old and 4 year old boys absolutely love you and that is the greatest compliment I can give. when ever they see any sport on TV that doesn’t include a team with Orange and Blue they ask me “are those Tebow’s Friends?” When it’s UGA, FSU or the like I assure them that they are not and that they are the bad guys. LOL Any how, thank you for being a guy my kids can look up to and thank you for some fantastic memories.

Sincerely,

Chris Boyd

Timmy,
As a mother, there is so much pride as we watch our sons grow (I have often thought of your mom, and how she must hold all that she feels as she witnesses your life)…you have been such a gift to our sons as they have watched you here at Florida. Your influence will be forever imprinted on their hearts, and we are grateful for that. The words are not adequate to express how blessed we have been to have shared your time and story here in Gainesville…you possess a light few others have ever seen, nor shed. We thank you for spreading that light, sharing your soul, and exemplifying passion like no other! You will be missed very much in our immediate midst, though we know you now move on to the next chapter of your journey, but never too far away. It’s time for us to share…you, with more of the world, outside of the Gator Nation. go forth, and share your love. God Bless you and all that you touch. You are certain to lead and inspire wherever you go. May your last game as a Gator in the Sugar Bowl, be beyond memorable! Go GATORS!!

Tim,

You have meant so much more to college football and today’s society than the statistics which mark your career. You have showed the world that a Christ filled life is possible for anyone who desires it. You have helped educate others on the benefits of abstinence, the importance of faith, and the fact that success is meaningless without faith. I am a UF alumnus and have been working with kids over the past 7 years. I am currently a school counselor and use you as a positive example on numerous occasions. Continue to pursue your faith, and know that youre efforts are appreciated.

Sincerely,

Peter

Score: 17, Jamie : The only reason I’m okay with graduating college is because you’re leaving too. Timmy, I want to thank you for the best 4 years of my life. I truly have had an amazing time in college because of what you’ve brought to this university. You have showed me that good people do exist and you continue to show the whole world that every single day. I wish you the best of luck in the NFL and I hope you continue to do great things. I will always be proud to wear the #15 and will continue to do so until the end of time. Thank you for being an inspiration to me and I hope to see you…
Score: 16, James Brooks : Thank you Tim, not just for what you have done for us on the field but for what you have done for the Gator Nation. Your incredible skills are greatly appreciated, but more greatly appreciated is the leadership you have empowered into your followers. The game of college football has never seen the likes of a person of your caliber and may never see another that can do what you have done for the game. I thank you for your dedication and your unmeasurable achievements that you have dawned on your incredible era in college football. I think I speak for the Gator Nation when I say that none of us…
Score: 14, T. Blackburn : Tim, When I came to the University of Florida in 2005, Coming from NC, I never thought choosing to attend UF could bring my family together as close as you have. My grandparents, who are faithful Christians heard about you on the local news in North Carolina and called me saying, “do you know the QB of the school you go to, that Tim Tebow? He preaches, does missionary work, etc…” and I just smiled saying, “yea, grandma, we know him pretty well down here.” From that day, my family has followed you and the Florida Gators year after year. I loved getting that…
Score: 12, Vanita : Dear Tim, Congratulations on your graduation and congratulations on your numerous accomplishments in football. I hope that you have enjoyed your four years at the University of Florida just as much as every member of the Gator Nation enjoyed theirs, whether they are alumni from way back when or just yesterday. Being part of this community has been one of the most fulfilling components of my life. I’m sure you know how I feel. Although I graduated in 2005, as much I hear that I missed everything, I don’t feel like I missed “all the fun”. I was there for every…
Score: 10, Jhonny Garcia : Dear Tim Tebow, Thanks for being raw. Thanks for being awesome. In fact, some people might go as far to say, “Thanks for being rawesome.” Sincerely, Jhonny Garcia
Score: 9, Kyle : Tim, I must say that it was truly a bittersweet moment to see you leave college football. As an FSU student, watching you beat up on us year after year was always tough to swallow, but you always carried yourself with dignity and the grace of a champion. May God bless you in all your endevours. You extend far beyond just a Florida Gator, you are just a great example of how to live your life and a man that all of us could model ourselves after. It was great to watch you play ball, even if I’m not a Gator fan haha. I’ll probably get crucified in Tallahassee for writing you this,…
Score: 8, Meagan Kovacs : Dear Timmy, Thank you for being my inspiration in everything that you do. Everytime I don’t do my best, I think of your “promise” speech after Ole Miss. That game was the day after I became a Gator, and your reaction and commitment to trying your hardest only made me know that UF was definitely the right place for me. I’m so happy here and sad to see you go. Good luck in life, and always be the Timmy we love in our hearts :) Thank you for being my inspiration in everything that you do. Love, Meagan
Score: 7, Sharon Fussell-Carter : Dear Tim: I just personally wanted to thank you for visiting our very sick patient in CICU the other day. He has been down…but I know seeing you made him feel better. On a personal note….thank you for the 4 wonderful years you gave us while attending the University of Florida. You actually made me love football again. Your faith in God and your enduring leadership efforts while at UF will not be forgotten. Thank you again, Sharon Fussell-Carter
Score: 7, Keri Mongelluzzo : Dear Tim, On December 10th 2009, I carried with me a sign to the ESPNU Home Depot College Football Awards Show as I had the previous two years. The only thing that differed was that this year’s sign displayed the verse 1Timothy 4:12 – “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” This verse seemed as if it found me, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. As I read the words to myself I thought, “This is the influence that Tim has had on my life; he has indirectly…
Score: 7, W.R. : Tim Tebow, Thank you so much for being obedient to God and making yourself available to be used by Him. You have been an amazing role model both on and off the field. I pray that you continue to serve the Lord with all your might. Many blessings for your future in whatever God leads you to.
