Tyler Tenorio Obituary
Services will be held on Sunday for Tyler Tenorio who died from injuries he sustained in a stabbing attack on October 16, 2009 in Santa Cruz. He was 16 years old. Born in Santa Cruz, Tyler was a member of the junior class of Santa Cruz High School. He was loved by all of his friends and they will forever remember him for both his clean and pressed dress attire, and his genuineness as a true friend.
His hobbies included taking photos, drawing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and lifting weights. He liked staying in shape for the ladies.
Tyler was a talented artist. He created many detailed drawings and his subjects included hot rods and crazy designs. He was very excited at the work he and his father had done to restore his car, and was looking forward to driving it very soon.
Tyler leaves his mother and father, Penny and Troy Tenorio of Santa Cruz, his brother, Matthew Roberts of New Jersey, his maternal grandmother, Joan Harbison of Santa Cruz, and his paternal great grandmother, Helen Hallyburton of San Jose. Tyler is also survived by his many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Friends may pay their respects at a viewing to be held on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at Benito and Azzaro Pacific Gardens Chapel, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. A memorial service and celebration of Tyler's life will take place on Sunday, October 25, at the Circle Church on Errett Circle in Santa Cruz, beginning at 2 p.m. Tyler's family would like you to share your photographs and memories of Tyler and ask that you bring them to either of the two gatherings, or you may e-mail them to [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, donations for a bench in Tyler's name and to support the Tenorio family in this time of sorrow may be given to The Circle Church at 111 Errett Circle, Santa Cruz, CA, 95060.

It's been 15 years, Tyler, and it's hard to believe. I still think of you every single day and it still hurts me deeply that you are not here with us, your loving family. You were a wonderful grandson; one I was very proud of even at only16 years of age, and I just know you would have been able to accomplish great things.

The anniversary of your leaving us is here. It´s a date we will never forget because the grief is still strong, how could it not be since you were so loved. You were a joy to all who knew you and we all miss you so very, very much! I know you wouldn´t want us to continue mourning, but how could we not? You will never be forgotten.

Dearest Tyler,
It's hard to believe that yesterday would have been your 30th birthday. To me, of course, you're still the 16-year-old, amazing and wonderful grandson that you were when you left us. It's been a number of years now, but you are still missed very much by your many, many friends and family. We will never forget you and we will always love you.

Dear Tyler,
The greatness of grief in loosing you is only exceeded by the greatness of love that all have felt for you in your absence. We have lived on for many years after your passing and from the passing of other loved ones we have lost. We the living do not look forward to dying, but there is a consolation that our time will come too in that, whatever the thereafter brings, it will be spent with you. In God we keep trusting.
Forever yours,
Tyler Tenorio
March 19, 2020
Tyler, you were a beautiful child, one of the brightest lights in our lives, and though it's been 10 1/2 years you are still thought of every single day. You will never be forgotten. Yesterday would have been your 27th birthday and we should have been able to celebrate that day with you. We all miss you so much!

I wonder what you would you be doing today in your life if you only had a chance to live your life? I bet you would still be that big hearted sweet boy that we all loved so much. There are so many things I miss with you being gone sweetheart. Always know Tyler, you will Never Ever Be Forgotten!

Dear, sweet Tyler,
Another Christmas has come and gone since you left us; I know how you loved Christmas and it just wasn't the same without you. We got together at your Uncle Michael's house and we noticed a beautiful, green (your favorite color) hummingbird flitting around on their patio. Were you there in spirit? We love you and miss you so much.

Hi Tyler, I just can't believe that it has been four years already. You are missed so much and loved more then you will ever know. You are with us every minute of everyday buddy. Wish I could turn back time Tyler, there is so much in our lives that no longer happens or matters because you are not with us anymore. The day they took you from us, a part of us went with you. You may be Gone sweet boy but you are never forgotten.

It's hard to believe that you would have had your 20th birthday last Monday. And even harder to believe that three and a half years have gone by since you left us.

Hi Tyler, Friday all of your friends were graduating as you should have been. Taylor had a skateboard with your friends signing at the stage of the graduation so you were there in memory and spirit. It was so hard to see them all grown up in their gowns and your not there. Jake went also to represent you in your honor. You are so missed baby, nobody has forgotten you and we never will.

I can't believe today marks the 10 month that you were so sensely taken from this earth. We don't know each other but I think about you everyday. Especially because I have two sons, one who is 2 weeks older then you. I just want you to know that you will never be forgotten, and your tragedy has made such an impact on so many people. May god hold you tight in his arms.

I went to the memorial service for Carl yesterday; I can't believe this has happened, and only six months after yours. How could such senseless acts taken your lives, two sweet, sensitive and caring young men. The days have not made me miss you less; it's just the opposite. I will never get over losing you. You were loved by so many, but especially your family; and you are missed so very, very much. I love you Tyler,

Even though I only met you a couple of times, I still feel like I knew you so much. Your dad and I are really tight. We were a team for a couple of years, him and me, and I know you were probably a lot like him. I just don't understand how this could've happened to a kid like you. I still to this day can't believe what happened. Rest in peace little bro, you are missed very much.

Dear Tyler,
I miss your smiling face, and remember when you used to play at our house when you were small. I also remember when you would come down King St on a shiny new bike and always give me that wonderful smile of yours, also one time I took you to get a haircut with Chris at the Esquire on Mission St and they cut your hair to short and man were you upset.
Please do one thing for me this week, my dear Daddy passed away this week, would you please give him a big hug and tell him that I love him so much. His name is Tom and you will know him when you see him in heaven.
Loving and Missing you,

My sweet Tyler, Sorry I have been so busy and stressed that I haven't been on lately to say Hi, but you never leave my thoughts. I cry all the time, the lights, Christmas, songs, some kid that looks like you, I smell your scent and I loose it. I miss you so much, I am having such a hard time without you. Your parents, Your family, and your friends are missing you so. It all still seems so unreal to me, even though you don't walk through that door anymore. Everybody around me is putting up lights and Christmas trees and buying gifts, but we just can't do it without you. I remember all the times you would help uncle Michael to put up Grandmas lights in the freezing cold in the dark. But we love our lights, didn't we Ty. I can't even turn my lights on this year Tyler, it is to hard, and to sad without to share them with us. I Love you.
December 4, 2009
Dear Tyler, I just want you to know that I think about you and you're family everyday. I'm sorry I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you. You sound so much like my son Tony who is also 16. Keep that beautiful smile going. You will never be forgotten. May god hold you in his arms. Take care you sweet boy.

Dear Tyler,
No words can explain how much I miss you! I'm so sorry we never got the chance go to the beach together and hang out like we always planned. I love you so much!!!! You were such a big part of my life and now I feel like a huge chunk of me is missing! I always looked forward to seeing you on Christmas and Thanksgiving and playing rock band together and you always helping me with the drums because I was so bad. I would give anything for it to be last thanksgiving when our whole family was together like our own little band, Trevor and Natalie on the guitars, me and you playing with the drums, and Chris singing and our parents listening to us laughing at all of us goofing off trying to just hit the right buttons. You will always be my FAVORITE cousin and Best friend! You will always live on through all of us!! Life just isn’t the same without you! It’s still so unreal to me that you’re gone! I'm still waiting for you to text me at midnight and tell me how you were being safe and bug me about how we needed to get together soon and discuss what we were going to do. I remember you texting me telling me that you were going to drive over here and it was funny because you didn’t care that you didn’t have your license you knew how to drive anyways you just had to figure out how to ask your dad, my Uncle Troy, if you could borrow his car. Please keep sending signs to your mother and father like the sunny days and clear sky; because I know that it’s helping your parents get through this. We all miss you so much and love you tons! You are such an awesome friend, cousin, brother, and son!!! We are going to all miss seeing your one of kind smile, your green eyes and just you!! You have an awesome personality and great talents with art and putting a smile on every ones faces! I can go on for days with all the great memories we had, but you already know all of them. You made such a huge impact on my life! And in every game I play I’ll be playing for you!!! The girls on my team wear one of your favorite colors, green, in every game. We all have a green bracelet that they wear as well as green electric tape. You will always be my little cousin and my favorite person ever!!! We think of you daily!
16 Always and Forever!!!!
Love Your Cuz, Jess

I remember you texting me telling me that you were going to drive over here and it was funny because you didn’t care that you didn’t have your license you knew how to drive anyways you just had to figure out how to ask your dad, my Uncle Troy,if you could borrow his car. Please keep sending signs to your mother and father like the sunny days and clear sky; because I know that it’s helping your parents get through this. We all miss you so much and love you tons! You are such an awesome friend, cousin, brother, and son!!! We are going to all miss seeing your one of kind smile, your green eyes and just you!! You have an awesome personality and great talents with art and putting a smile on every ones faces! I can go on for days with all the great memories we had, but you already know all of them. You made such a huge impact on my life! And in every game I play I’ll be playing for you!!! The girls on my team wear one of your favorite colors, green, in every game. We all have a green bracelet that they wear as well as green electric tape. You will always be my little cousin and my favorite person ever!!! We think of you daily!
16 Always and Forever!!!!
Love Your Cuz, Jess

Thanksgiving is next week and I’m still expecting to see you there. I believe there is no such thing as good bye but I do believe in see you later, so tyler I’ll see ya later.

My dear, dear son, it’s been almost three weeks since you were taken from me. I’m in such pain from losing you I can't even face the world right now, you were and are a wonderful son and person, you touched all of Santa Cruz and more. I still can’t believe you will never walk into my arms again. I have your necklace; it will never come off my neck. I spray your room so I can smell you as if you were in your room. I love you son talk to you soon. Take care cutie.
love forever mom.

Dear Tyler,
I want to thank you for helping connect your Mom & I. She's such a wonderful sweet person. She misses you SO MUCH! But I know you know that. Help make the sun shine a bit more in her life to get her thru this tough time. I know your Dad needs some extra help too! Mom's are different tho.... You are our 'babies' for life! Send some extra love & signs their way...
You were such a special kid here, I love looking at pictures & stories your Mom tells me about you! I'm sure you are a special angel there too. They need you Ty! Shine your love on them please? If you need help up there? Ask my connections....
Thanks Ty
