It is with deep sadness that the community and Millwall Football Club share the passing of Tim Sells, a devoted partner, father, son, brother, and friend. Tim, who was just 47 years old, touched countless lives with his warmth, generosity, and selfless spirit.
He leaves behind his loving fiancée, Lisa, and their two children, Cody and Demi, who were his greatest joy in life. Tim’s family and friends describe him as a man who gave his all to those he loved and who always put the needs of others first.
Above all else, Tim was a family man. He found happiness in the simplest of moments—whether it was cheering for his children, spending time at home with Lisa, or making those around him laugh with his easygoing nature.
Those who knew him best say that his kindness was unmatched. Even in his final moments, Tim gave one last gift to the world through organ donation, ensuring that others could live on because of his generosity.
Beyond his family, Tim was a well-loved member of the Millwall Football Club and the Millwall Community Trust, where he served as Football Development Manager.
His colleagues remember him not only for his hard work but for his dedication to helping young players grow—both on and off the field. He wasn’t just coaching football; he was shaping character, teaching life lessons, and inspiring countless young people to believe in themselves.
“Tim was more than a colleague—he was a mentor, a friend, and someone we could always rely on,” the club shared in a heartfelt statement. “His loss will be felt across the entire Millwall family.”
Friends and neighbors say what they’ll miss most about Tim is his heart. He was always willing to lend a hand, listen without judgment, and bring people together.
One close friend described him as “the kind of person who would drop everything to help you out—someone you could always count on.”
That spirit of kindness and compassion will be his lasting legacy.
Tim’s passing has left a huge gap in the lives of his loved ones. Many in the community have expressed a wish to help his family during this painful time. Instead of sending flowers, contributions are being encouraged to help with funeral expenses and to ease the financial pressures his family now faces.
The family has shared their gratitude for the love, prayers, and support being offered. They ask that people continue to keep Lisa, Cody, and Demi in their thoughts as they begin to adjust to life without him.

Details about Tim’s funeral will be announced in the coming days. Friends, family, colleagues, and community members will all have the opportunity to come together, remember him, and celebrate the life he lived so beautifully.
Though his life ended far too soon, Tim’s memory will live on through his children, his family, and the many lives he touched. He will be remembered as a man of generosity, warmth, and devotion, whose legacy of love and kindness will never fade.
