To Tyreek's family,

Tyreek played for my father and I and helped us bring home a championship for the Troy Patriots Pee Wee team in 2007. He was part of the best defense that I have ever had the privilege of coaching throughout my involvement in Pop Warner. I will never forget Tyreek's smile after he made an interception and ran it back for a touchdown during the season. Please know that Tyreek will always have a place in my heart when I remember that year. Thank you for sharing Tyreek's talent with us and know that he helped bring me joy.
