Timothy Han died on April 18, 2024, surrounded by family and friends, according to a GoFundMe page launched to cover medical costs and burial expenses.
The campaign remembers Tim as a "cornerstone of community, noting he left his family in South Korea and immigrated to the United States and embarking on an array of pursuits.
Tim attended Phillips Exeter Academy, a prep school in New Hampshire, where he co-founded the school's first Asian-American student affinity club and involved himself in as many others that he could, including mock trial, student council, and more, according to the campaign.
He went on to attend Yale University, graduating in 2023 as a Jack Kent Cooke, Questbridge, and Nathan Hale Scholar, his LinkedIn page says. Han also interned as a digital fellow along Joe Biden's presidential campaign trail in 2020.
Lsat September, Tim began his first-ever corporate job as a business analyst at McKinsey & Co., in Washington D.C., his LinkedIn page shows. He'd previously held roles at the Renew Democracy Initiative, a nonprofit organization.
"At McKinsey, Tim approached his work with the same intensity as his previous pursuits, learning from his coworkers on a daily basis," reads the GoFundMe campaign. "Tim considered his employment a privilege. Ever aware of his family’s journey, he was grateful for the opportunity to begin contributing to the financial welfare of his parents and brothers."
