I don't know how you'd be able to approach that subject, and I certainly wouldn't do so anytime soon (certainly not before the funeral or any reasonable grieving period has passed), but I would think the parents would ultimately decide what to do with his possessions. Possibly drop a tasteful note on his facebook perhaps?
I had heard that Pandaguy's mother had saved his fursuit for a memorial she would be putting together for her son. I'm assuming that it all depends on how well the parents know about furry, fursuiting, and how it fit into their child's life. Suggesting a memorial using their fursuit could be considered a nice gesture or it could be something they really really don't want to have their son known by - I mean furry's reputation tends to be sensationalized, and certainly Tim's EMT work and other good deeds should be what he is primarily remembered for. It's... a difficult and awkward question to ask :/
