Tyler S. Covert

Godspeed Tyler.

I grew up with Tyler at Beachwood Elementary. In sixth grade, Tyler was my first "real" boyfriend (by real I mean we actually talked to each other). He was my first kiss and the first boy to break my heart, and then the news of his passing broke my heart again. Tyler was such a sweet soul, and it was evident that he was a proud father based on our most recent interactions on Facebook. We were able to bond over our children since my daughter is only a little younger than Kaeden. I am sending...

Ashley told me about you, that you were amazing, prior to ever meeting you. And then one morning, Ash bouncing down those stairs, you following, i thought, "wow. That's a tall guy." And your heart was bigger than you are! Not in vain. You have a beautiful son, Kaeden, and a wife who misses you greatly. And people who care that will cherish your memory. Rest in peace, Tyler. You did great.

Oh, the first time I met Tyler, he came down the stairs , following Ashley's bounce down same. My first thought was, "Wow, that is a big boy." After the fact, getting to know him, it became evident that his heart was bigger than his size and he always did the right thing. Ashley and Kaeden, he will always be with you. You were his loves. On a life lost too young, you will not be forgotten Tyler. RIP

I was Tyler's fifth grade teacher. I remember him fondly. He was a bight, smart student whom everyone loved. I still remember him sitting in Room 14 at Beachwood Elementary School. May he find peace now and may his family seek comfort in the memories of the good times with Tyler. I'm very saddened to hear of his passing. God Bless all especially Tyler.

truly a great guy to serve with in the Army

Tyler, you will always be the sweet little boy with a glint in his eyes. Rest now.
Debbie and Kevin, sending love and prayers, may you feel God's love and peace during your grief.
