Tyler, although the time I had to get to know you was far too brief, you made an incredible impression on me. I admired your compassionate spirit and the enthusiasm you had for life. I will miss sharing school stories with you and watching you grow. You were an obvious blessing to every life you touched in this world!

What do I say? Tyler is the coolest cousin that I could ever ask for. The most genuine, sensitive, happy go lucky person. He would always give hugs and kisses even if his friends were around. His smile was my favorite thing about him. I will always remember that smile :)! Love you, your Great cousin Carla

Today we're here to celebrate Tyler's life. I sat down and reviewed the eulogy instruction manual and thought...wow, this is hard. I shouldn't be having to write this for my only son.
Tyler was an extremely intelligent boy. I remember him being bored in kindergarten because he already knew everything they were teaching. We pulled him out of the public school and placed him in a charter school, Cambridge Academy. Here he was challenged and still able to skip 2nd grade and move directly to 3rd . So when it was time for him to attend Junior high at a public school we thought that was going to be a big shock to him going from small classes of no more than 10 kids to classes of about 30. The week before he started jr. high we had taken a trip to rocky point. Tyler wanted corn rows in his hair but his hair wasn't quite long enough so we did some pin cushion hair do thingy. School started that Monday and I couldn't believe he wanted to go to his first day of jr. high like that! We were hesitant to let him go thinking he might end up being embarrassed but he was determined to do it so we supported it. Tyler was always a little shy until he got comfortable with someone...and it always seemed to be the girls he got comfortable with! LOL! He ended up making many friends and adapted very well. I admired and encouraged his individuality. I recall running into one of his classmates recently who remembered the funky hair...Tyler definitely made a lasting impression! From the earring, the pink hair, the straightened hair, the doo rags, the baggy pants and the skinny skate pants he dared to be himself!
Tyler was an incredible young man and words cannot express the pride I feel for him. His ambition and perseverance were admiral. He could have conquered the world if he wanted to, and he was on his way to doing just that.
Tyler had a lightness about him which kept me grounded and brought me peace. The love I have for him is immense. I remember singing and reading to him before he was born. I knew he was special. As a baby it was as if he could see right to my soul. I would just stare lovingly at him; so grateful for such a beautiful blessing. I used to watch him sleep and think how perfect he was. He was and still is my angel. The life I gave him he gave me.
From Hope's heart...I cherish the fact that I was with you and able to share an I love you only hours before this tragedy. You had a Tyler way of doing things...you made the journey of being a parent an ever-changing adventure, keeping me on my toes with your quick wit and creativity! As parents, we believe it is our job to teach and mold our children, but in everyday living we realize that they teach US just as much, if not more! We shared a mutual respect as parent and child and were able to openly discuss any topic. I will so miss your telephone calls and texts that developed into the most stimulating "why" questions. I am asking myself now, why? We taught you that life was full of challenges and showed you ways to turn them around into a positive experience. It warms my heart to think that as you matured into a young man, you were able to finish my thoughts and relate back to me exactly what I would have told you! I will miss us pushing back and forth to think outside the box. I will miss the girls flocking around you when we did our quarterly shopping for clothes. I will miss planning our vacations. Tyler, you are one of the greatest gifts God has given me in my life! I am so very proud of you. My memories of you will never fade. I will miss you and you will always be alive in my heart. I love you.
Now I'd like to share with you some special memories from our family....
When Tyler was around 1 he would have some terrible temper tantrums...I'd get the video camera out and film him. He hated that! He would say, No Dama, no dama, leave me alone...(he called grandma, dama). Tyler knew what consequences were from a young age but that didn't stop him from doing what he wanted...he'd go up and punch his cousin Mike then walk himself into the corner for timeout!
Love, Grandma
Tyler loved Barney when he was little and there was one epsidoe where Barney pleyed the bagpipes. He was just terrified of those and would scream "no pipes, no pipes damaw!" My most recent and last time with Tyler as at the lake the weekend before his spirit went home. We rode on the tube on my mom and dad's boat and laughed and laughed until our sides hurt. We caught some serious air as hit a huge wake! We were hanging on tight which is what I am doing right now!
Love, aunt Shannon
Tyler always wanted to make everyone happy, always cheerful and always smiling. He was always willing to give family a hug even when his friends were around...it never embarrassed him.
Love, Uncle Scott
Tyler, I will always remember how bright you were. When you would come over to play with Taylor and Derrik you were the only one that wouldn't be in trouble. If I told you once I never had to tell you again. I will miss your big smile and your upbeat personality.
I love you. Love aunt suzy
When Tyler was back in Nebraska I took him to a farm pond. The expression on his face when he caught an 8 lb catfish is something I wish I would of had a camera to take a picture of his face. The look he had was SO PROUD. A day I will always remember.
Love Uncle Pat
It was Tyler's graduation night and he was so proud of graduating and just couldn't wait to continue his education at ASU. Tyler and Sheila came over to our house afterwards and we were discussing his goals for college. He was so proud of his accomplishments and we admired him for having such high goals and great determination
Love, Uncle Sean and Aunt Stacey
I have so many wonderful memories of babysitting Tyler. He was such a wonderful kid...so smart and I just knew he would grow up to have big plans and dreams for himself.
Love, cousin Valerie
I remember you alwayIs drew my name at Christmas and got me such great presents! I miss you already! I love you!
Love, cousin Makalyn,
Tyler, Uncle Chuck here...I know I've been gone for most of the last 10 years, but we had our special little KISS connection, which I was proud to introduce you to. I always knew you would be very special because you were the son of my amazing sister Sheila. You are gone far too soon, an uncle should not outlive his nephew...I will miss you even more than I already did.
I remember when we went on the tube and I was so scared. Mom went with us and we went really fast! I remember flying off the tube and sprained my wrist. I love you!
Love, cousin Kaylee
Tyler, my great grandson, he always gave me a hug at every family gathering. He was a sweet boy. I love him and will miss him always.
Love, great grandma Schneider
Tyler, everyone is going to miss you so much. I remember when everyone was here from Nebraska. You & Mike tried to beat the girls with who could stay up the longest and we won! I love you.
Love, cousin Meaghan
GRIT! DETERMINATION! RESOLVE! PERSERVERANCE! OH YEAH!
Tyler had located HIS car, he had the money in hand. Grampa, he said, I need you to go with me. I gotta get THIS car. IT'S PERFECT! I told him fine, but let me handle the BUY. I'm sure if he's asking $4700 I can get it cheaper. Looking directly in my eyes he said, NO GRAMPA, I don't want to take any chances, if it's $4700 then it's $4700. You gotta promise me! So I did. And he bought his car. (I did get the seller to knock $600 off though) LOL!
He set his goal
He put the plan in place
He directed the negotiation
He got his car and refused to come back to get the car.
He drove it home...HIS WAY
I love you Tyler and miss you,
Love Grampa
It's clear that Tyler has touched so many people in so many ways. He brought smiles and laughs to everyone! I feel you all have experienced Tyler's light in one way or another and that light will continue to shine!
I want you all to know that it is your love and support that has gotten me through to this point. Thank you for loving my son and being a part of his life! I would love to remain in contact with anyone who would like to talk about Tyler through email, lunch or whatever! He will be deeply missed by all!

Shiela and Family,
Shiela, I had the priviledge of working with you at Aerotec and in our conversations I realized right away how proud you are of Tyler and how much you love him. I know many hearts are broken, seemingly beyond repair. As it is written, "Only love can break a heart - Only love can mend it again." I know Tyler loved his family and his family really loved him. It is that love that will help you cope with his being away from you for now, but in a wonderously better place awaiting the reuniting of you all. Our daughter Allie was one year ahead of Tyler at Red Mountain High, however, she knew him at that time and has commented on his being so bright and having a great future. Allie wants me to include her condolences here as well, she is very saddened. Please know that my family and I are so sorry for your loss and that we hope for all that God has to give in healing your heart.
May all the people who love you and love Tyler, love you even more now.

Tyler, I feel like it was just yesterday when we all started skating back when I met you at Fremont. A lot of my greatest memories from living and growing up in Arizona were definitely shared with you, from skating, to sitting in class, constant yearly visits with you already calling to hang out before I even landed, and our deep discussions about what to do with our life with me having no clue and you having every detail of your life already planned out with you already on your way. I could write a book on the good times we had by themselves and I wish we had more time to create more of these fond memories, but I know your in a better place and i'll be there with you one day to catch up. You may be gone, but you'll be with me forever in my heart, as well as your family and friends who's lives you've also touched, because you definitely made an impact on mine which I will never forget. I could say goodbye forever but then that would be a lie, but I Love you bro and that's an undeniable fact. Until we meet again...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
