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 encouraged me to do just what this verse states through leading by example.” I cannot forget to mention the irony that this verse resides in one of the two books of Timothy =) . As the pre-show began, I waited as patiently as I could for you to walk down the red carpet and greet the anxious fans. When you first caught my sight, I spotted a beautiful girl on your arm that appeared to be of a similar age as myself. As I later learned of Kelly’s story during one of your interviews with the media in attendance, my heart swelled in my chest and I was overcome with a sense of joy for being able to witness that moment.
Despite hearing of all of your community service, compelling character, love for Christ, and compassion for others, that moment defined my perception of you. To be able to directly see the kindness in your heart for others is what I’ll miss after you depart from the University of Florida and leave me and my fellow students. While the winning moments of Gator football certainly positively affect my college experience at UF, the fact that I was able to see firsthand the compassion that you exude for others outside of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is what made my freshman and sophomore years at the University of Florida.
It is an honor in itself to be able to say that I am a student at the University of Florida solely because I know that that is something that I have been able to share with you and the rest of the outstanding student athletes. The influence that you have had over me as a person has urged me to want to become a better person and strengthen my relationship with Christ. While your talent for the game cannot be overlooked, your compassion for other people and love for Christ is what inspires me as a student daily in all aspects of my life. It is these intangibles that I am truly grateful for and owe you the utmost amount of thanks. So thank you Tim for all that you have done for this university, student body, and the Gator Nation. Thank you for making “Tebow encounters” on campus the highlight of my day. Thank you for showing kindness to all of us. Thank you for being the great young man that you are and strive to be. I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors, both personal and professional and will be watching when you take the field as an NFL quarterback. Once again, thank YOU and God Bless YOU!
Love,
Keri Mongelluzzo

Dear Tim, Coaches and Gator Team;

We are not with you today in N.O., not because we don’t love you, but because of health issues. We are with you in spirit and we will be cheering you on via the television. We love all of you! God Bless you!!

Timmy,
Thank you so much for everything! You’ve had such a positive influence on so many people through your actions like speaking in prisons, going on mission trips to the Phillipines, setting a great example, not being shy about your faith in God, leading the Gators in the four wonderful years you spent at the University of Florida and so much more. It has been an honor attending UF with you.
I want you to know that you have not only changed the lives of people who did not have God in their life, but you have also made people, like myself, want to grow in their relationship with the Lord because of how close you are with Him. People see your relationship with God and realize that they too can be as close with Him.
Thank you so much for being the epitome of a great Gator!
My thoughts and prayers are with you wherever your path may lead.
God bless!

Tim,

Thank you so much for all you have done not only for Florida fans and students but for people around the world. You’re espousal of Christian values and actions both on and off the field is one that will not soon be matched by an athlete of your caliber.

I am a member of the Class of 2010 and have been moving through UF year for year with you and I will never be able to thank you enough for the memories and successes you have given me at Florida. Best of luck in life and I’ll be watching you guys in the Sugar Bowl tonight!

Someone else on here wrote how fortunate Florida was that you picked us – and I couldn’t agree more. To have the most celebrated college athlete in history lead our team to unprecedented heights is something the Gator Nation will always have. You and your squad are truly legendary, and we will always have that to look back on and continue to honor. What you and the team attempted to do this year would have transcended the term ‘historic’, and although sadly it wasn’t meant to be – you should ALL know just how inspirational the act of reaching for such a lofty goal has been to myself and many others. Tim, you have my admiration, and you ALL have my thanks! Go Gators!!

Dear Timmy,
You have been such an inspirational leader these past four years. There’s not enough words that can describe how proud the Gator Nation is for having you as a QB. Thank you for all of your hard work on and off the field. Thank you for being more than just a football player; but thank you for winning all those games as well! Thank you for playing with such great passion. My prayer is that you will continue to serve God with all of your heart. Never lose sight of your hopes and dreams. Go after what you love and stay firm on your morals and values. You are such an amazing guy and I wish you the best! Read Proverbs 41:10 when you get the chance, I’m sure it will bring you encouragement when you most need it.

GO GATORS!!

Tim – Thank you for everything you have given to the University of Florida over the past four years. Watching you play football has been great, and it’s been made even better by seeing your wonderful Christian testimony.

I’m thankful I was able to attend UF during the time you were here. I know God has big plans for you and you will go far, on and off the football field. God bless 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…

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: 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,…

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, 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: 6, Fellow sister in Christ : Thank you for being a bold witness for Christ on our campus!! Your example has changed the lives of so many people and until we get to Heaven, you’ll never know the impact that you have had on this earth; but I trust that when we get there, there will be a long line of people wanting to thank you for sharing the gospel with them and for living a life glorifying to God! Romans 15:20 “It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known…” I pray that you continue to reach the “remotest parts of the earth” (as your father likes…
