I had the pleasure of getting to know this young man this past year. He was a 23 y/o young man tragically removed from our lives. Tyler always had a smile or a laugh to give to everyone he met. NEVER in the time I knew him, did he speak ill of other people. I don't think this young man had a mean bone in his body. In a generation of self serving, "its all about me" young kids; Tyler stood out in a good way. He would help anyone who needed it, talk to you if you were having a bad day. Tell a bad joke just to get you to smile or laugh. He was the silver lining in a cloudy day. I can say with all honesty, it was a PRIVILEGE to have been friended by Tyler. He might have only been with his family for 23 yrs but he enriched every single life he touched. His parents should be proud of the child and man they raised. This world lost a shining light when his life was taken. In my 41 yrs on this earth, I have met and served with many men. I'm proud to have had the privilege to have called this young man a friend. R.I.P. Brother we will take it from here.
