Tyler:
You were not only our brother-in-law, but you were a best friend, a fishing buddy, and much, much more. We had six years to get use to the idea you might not be with us forever, but it wasn't long enough. You married Kim, you baptized Kayl, you taught Paul to fish, ski and sail; but more importantly you taught them about family, unconditional love and giving to your community. You raised and educated three beautiful children and adored your seven grandchildren and your bride, Kay, of 45 years. We love you and miss you.. Thank you for being you. Love, Don and Pat Carter and family

I have wanted know how to contact Tyler for so long. I didn't know he and you were married. I am so very sorry to hear of his death. I cannot tell you how much he meant to me in High School. I have thought of him so many times. I extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to you, y'alls children and grandchildren and all who knew and loved Tyler. He was indeed a very special human being.
