Tymoor “Ty” Kashmiry, 74, of Sanford, Maine, passed away peacefully on June 21, 2026, at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House following a courageous battle with cancer.

Throughout his life, Ty worked as a chef in a variety of settings, sharing his love of cooking with many. He also found great joy in the outdoors, especially fishing, camping, and hunting. Music was another important part of his life, and he loved playing his guitar.

  8. I was fortunate to call Ty my freind. He was such a wonderful person and I will forever be greatful for knowing him and experiencing his levity in dark places. I served with Ty (as Corrections Officers at the York County Jail) and there were plenty of moments where the stresses and preasures of the job seemed far to much to bare and that was when Ty shined. He would somehow come up with something unbelievably funny to say (these usually one liners always seemed to come from out of nowhere). I don’t know if I ever shared how much that meant to me, all I can hope is that he knew. He was a fine Officer but an even better freind. I cant help but feel as though his passing makes the world a much smaller and less interesting place.
    I will miss him.

  11. I’ve known Ty for many years. He was my neighbor and friend. Have a problem? Ask Ty, and he’ll find a way to help you out. I’ll miss the waves and beautiful smiles as he worked in his yard, cruise by in his orange sports car or truck to meet the days demands. Rest peacefully my friend.

  12. I was lucky enough to know Ty since 2002 when my father Rick moved next door to him. He was a constant fixture in my life and I will always treasure my memories of shooting hoops with him in the driveway. He was quick to smile, quick to laugh, and so gregarious in nature that he felt like a member of the family.

    The stoic might he displayed toward the end of his life was inspiring. I never saw a man so at peace with his life, his beliefs, his choices and his God. Through all of it, his love for Rita shined like a star in the darkness. His devotion and dedication to her is a firm model of manhood; for this, Ty will always be someone I aspire to emulate.

    May his memory be a blessing to his family and friends. Ty was loved.
