Ty Nelowet

I still have no words. I miss your son, brother, and my cousin. The hurt is there and the fact is I am still in disbelief. I cannot imagine where you all are in this, maybe my words help in some way. It is selfish to express my need for this pain to subside, I am flawed as we all are, but Ty is now able to see our "true perfection" and love us as much as we loved him. I miss you Ty and always will. Know that I miss all of you , and love you very much, my name is Shawn and I am truly sorry for...

I played volleyball with Ty for a few years, and just heard of his passing. I had tried to look him up a few times over the years since, and never found him. The most recent being just a week or so ago on Facebook!
I remember meeting him for the 1st time at the Motherlode tournament (Aspen) when he was gathering people to form a new indoor team. He got a couple here, a couple there, and we formed a team and had a lot of fun. He started it, made us all feel like old friends, got sponsors,...

I went to Emory with Ty and remember his wit, intelligence, and broad smile. Ty made everyone feel like a friend. I was a teen counselor for a touring camp that stopped in Denver just after our graduation in 1985. Ty invited me to his home where I got to meet his sweet mom and his dog, Sabra. I extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

My wife and I only heard of Ty's passing last night. He was the only waiter I had ever had at Ya Ya's. I will never forget the first time he waited on us... I asked for a wine suggestions after a bit of joking around. He recommended one of his favorites, but did not return to the table. The manager showed up to apologize as the recommended vintage was no longer in stock. I told him he'd better send Ty back to the table... When the embarrassed Ty returned, we had a wonderully joking...

In an age where social media gives you the chance to catch up with people who had an impact in your life, there may be nothing quite so shocking to find that a friend you hope to catch up with again is no longer with us.

I want to wish his family my sincerest condolences, I know how much he loved and respected you all. I never had the pleasure of meeting you all but he talked of you all often.

So much has been said here of his kindness and generosity which I would...

We met Ty at Yia Yia's quite a few years ago and we become regulars and sat specifically in his section while dining.
As we went to dine there Saturday night we learned of Ty's passing. We skipped going there because we were so shocked and upset that Ty was gone.
Ty was a person who always made us feel like we were the most important people at that moment in time.
We have a special needs son and everytime we took him in there he treated him with extra mac and cheese and...

Ty was a person I will never forget..I remember working on his car once, and having tons of laughs doing it...he always had a positive outlook on everything...I would complain...and he would always tell me "well..it could be like this..." He is a part of the "family" I know, and will always know, and is dearly missed!!! here's one more "smoke" for you!!!!!!!!

Ty Nelowet was a dear fraternity brother of mine and was a great asset both to the fraternity and to Emory University. He was a generous spirited guy with a good sense of humor and lust for life and friendship.

My favorite memory of Ty was the 30 hours I spent with him, and fellow brothers, on the road trip we took out to his parents’ condominium in Vail....he generously offered and we foolishly accepted. It wasn't the fifteen hour drive from Atlanta to Vail that was so bad...it...
