Dear Pickens Family,
We are so sad to know you are walking through the grief of losing your precious Ty. We will be praying for you and will be asking God to please cover you with His peace. We lost our son a little over a year ago, so we truly know a little of what you are going through. We will keep you in our prayers for a very long time. Our hearts are with you.
With love,
The Breedlove Family

Pickens Family,
Words cannot express my sadness on the loss of your wonderful son. Both he and Joyce were students in my Spanish class at Austin High, and I am so blessed to have worked with such amazing young people. I pray that The Lord would wrap his arms around you during this difficult time. Please know that you have teams of people praying for you all, and our prayers will continue in the weeks and moths to come. My love to you all.

Ty, it is a shame to loose you at such a young age. I will always remember the great times we had together on the golf team and at the tournaments. It was always a pleasure when we played together. My prayers go out to you and your family in this troubling time. May you Rest In Peace.

I heard such sweet things about Ty, from my son, Weston Green, who loved and admired him as a TCU friend and pledge brother. My heart is broken for you all, his family, and please know that my prayers and heart are with you. Only our Heavenly Father knows the reason for allowing this loss. Let HIM wrap His loving arms around you now, and comfort you as only HE can.

Please know that a huge network is holding your family in their hearts and prayers as you bid farewell to Ty. Like many other TCU parents, I didn't know Ty but look at his picture and think of my own child (also a junior at TCU), and realize the fragility of their young lives:full of promise and energy, but not to be taken for granted. Your incomprehensible loss is heavy on the hearts of many people you'll never meet, and we are all sharing your grief.

May God bless and keep you, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My son Grant is a pledge brother / dear friend of Ty's. I drove to be with him upon this news. He said he was the nicest and dearest and kindest friend anyone could hope to have. He knows he is in the arms of Jesus and they will be friends forever. We are loving Ty and his family in San Antonio. I'm thankful for his friendship with my child. Blessings....
