My son is currently assigned to the USCGC IBIS also stationed in Cape May, NJ. He will be attending the visitation on Monday and the funeral service on Tuesday. My son has told me of the friendship he had with Tyler and what a great young man he was.

Tyler had chosen the USCG as a way to serve his country and I honor his memory and thank him for his service to our country.

God Bless you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to Heaven
And bring you back again

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to loose you
No one will ever know

But know we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hollowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

Tyler and I go back to elementary school. He was good at making people laugh and bringing their spirits up. He was always a riot on the bus I could always look forward for him to make me laugh. I just wish I kept more in touch with him the last couple years I am still in shock about what happened. My heart goes out to Hailey, Ashley, Amanda, and Larry he will be missed. R.I.P buddy I will never forget you

Tyler was just a very nice,happy person . I hadn't seen much of him since he went off to serve his country . I 'll always remember him riding up and down our street on his skateboard wearing a big grin. We'll miss you Tyler.

My heart goes out to everyone in Tyler's family. I used to go over Sue and Don's house when I was a kid and used to play with Amanda and little Tyler. This really comes as quite a shock. I am so sorry for your loss.
