Tyler James Updegraff

It's been over two years since Tyler left us, and I never shared what I wanted out of distance and time. I was never as close to Tyler as so many, but I still distinctly remember my little league days and Mickey was our coach. I had the highlight of my short lived baseball career at third base and tagged someone out at third and caught a pop up foul ball at third to get two of three outs for the inning. I still bring this up when people ask me what sports I played when I was young. What...

Karen, Mike just informed me and I am so sorry for your loss. He obviously was an amazing person. You are in my prayers. Love, Rich

Tyler was the kindest human who made a positive impact on every person he interacted with. He took in this world with so much awe and truly savored each moment he had here. He had an unmatched love for this life and the beauty around him. I will forever cherish the memories we have with him and this incredible trip to Telluride Ben LoPrimo and I did with him. We can only hope to live life to the fullest and honor the incredible legacy he left this community.

We extend our deepest condolences for your loss to Luke and his family. May the love of friends and family carry you through this time of sorrow. Your colleagues at NGA

Mickey and Family, It's been a lifetime since last we spoke - my Mom recently relayed this sad news. I am so sorry to hear of the heartbreaking loss of your son. Incredibly, my family just went through this same thing in September - our son Declan, 22. After 5 months of 'firsts' I can say it does get a little better. Hang on tight to each other and may God bless you with comfort and peace to carry you through. With greatest sympathy, Kimberlee Wood (Harper)

Tyler left a legacy of joy, caring and love during his life. He will be always remembered by the footprints he left behind.
