Tye L. Downard

Deepest Sympathy to the Downard Family.

Words cannot express my love for Tye. He has the smiliest eyes in the world and he lit up a room no matter the company. I am proud to call him a roommate (BGSU) and friend. The memories we made will always live in my heart my friend. God bless you and your wonderful wife, boys, and family. You have touched so many hearts including mine and I am forever grateful to you. I look forward to seeing you again in the kingdom of heaven. Rest in peace my friend.

I worked with Tye in the RPD Detective Bureau for many, many years. I watched his hair get slowly longer over the years from the police academy until now. Lol. He was the most respected guy. He told me he had always wanted to, not only be a police officer, but be a Reynoldsburg Police Officer. He was a Raider through and through. I am heartbroken for his family, friends, and his law enforcement family. I will remember his smile, laugh, jokes, rocking, and singing to me every time he saw me....

RIP to a great young man that I had the pleasure of coaching and watch grow up in Reynoldsburg with my son Chadd.

Deepest Sympathy to the Downard family. My mother and I knew Tye back when he was in elementary school at Herbert H. Mills. My mother Nancy Wilson was the librarian there for over 30 years total. I was 8 years older then Tye but knew a lot of the young people that went to Mills. Tye was and still is a great guy. He will be missed.

RIP Tye.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family and friends. May God bless and keep them safe.
You will be missed by many!

My heart is so heavy hearing of the passing of Tye. His memories will forever live in our hearts.

Are prayers and thoughts are with you all. Please let us know if you need anything? Tom, Kathy, Wilson, Sophie and Gracie Misiuk
