Tyler Hinkle Obituary
1992 - 2011
Tyler John Hinkle, 19, of Pensacola died Saturday, September 24, 2011.
Tyler was born in Waukegan, IL on May 1, 1992 to Nathania Drobnick and James Thomas Hinkle. He graduated in 2010 from West Florida High School, and was presently attending Pensacola State College where he was a sophomore. Tyler enjoyed soccer, skateboarding and playing paintball.
Tyler is survived by his mother, Nathania Drobnick and her fiancé John W. Murray, IV; father, Jim Hinkle and his fiancée Nina Patel; maternal grandparents, Betty and Will Drobnick; paternal grandmother, Mary Bennett; paternal grandfather, Donald Hinkle (D'Aun); aunts, Deborah Drobnick, Rebecca Baker (David), Sarah Lewis (Brian), Angela Quintanilla; paternal great-grandmother, Agnes Kesterson and many cousins, other relatives and close friends.
Tyler's love of life was infectious, and those he loved, he loved unconditionally. He had a trusting soul that believed in the good in all of us. He was quick to smile and lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He was the son every parent prays for, the friend we all hope to have. Tyler was a bright and shining star one couldn't help but be drawn to. His star has been extinguished, but his light will live in our hearts forever.
Visitation will be held 2:00pm until a Celebration of Tyler life to begin at 3:00pm Thursday, September 29, 2011 at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 850 Blue Angle Pkwy, Pensacola, FL 32506, with the Reverend John W. Murray, III celebrating.
HARPER-MORRIS MEMORIAL CHAPEL is in charge of arrangements.

Jim and Nathantia, I am so sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers are with you. I only met Tyler when he was very young. What a precious little boy he was. I know he must have been a special young man with parents like you. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

As a mother and retired Navy Corpsman, there are not enough words to express my sympathy for your family. Tyler attended PSC with my daughter and shared friends from our church youth group. Remain strong and EVERYONE that Tyler left behind is in our continued prayers.

I am a concerned citizen of Pensacola, I real wanted to express my condolences to this family. My heart has ached since hearing of this. I have lived in Pensacola all my life in this is one of the most outragous crime, I've heard in a long time. And the more I learn from the media the more tears I shed for your loss. I will pray that you all find peace in knowing that you all had a remarkable son, And I just wish more young people had the backbone he displayed. I don't know you all, But I have love and respect for you and your son. GOD BLESS THIS FAMILY AND TYLER

Like one previous person said, I did not know Tyler, but wish I had. He seems like such an amazing person to be around. He has been taken from this world far too soon.
