Hi Johnny. It's been just a little over 3 yrs. And I'm pretty sure I've thought about you everyday. My family is so grateful you were apart of our lives. A big part. We love and miss you everyday...

I miss you everyday my sweet Grandson. You left this earth too early, we needed more time with you and your loving caring ways. You took good care of me when I was sick and you helped grandpa so much. I can't get your body back, to hug and hold. I have very clear memories of you though and they will never go away. Take care my sweet man until we meet again. Grammie xooooo

My wife and I send our deepest sympathies to Tyler's family and friends. I just found out about his passing this week. I had worked with Tyler at Terminix before accepting a new job this fall. He was a hard worker and he was a great problem solver. Tyler will be greatly missed. We are very sorry for your loss.

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved Tyler. The world will forever be a little darker since he left it. I cannot express to you how sorry I am for your loss. Tyler was the best kind of person and my most trusted and beloved friend. I trust in the belief that he is watching over us all now. Rest in love, Tyler.

Hi Bub, I miss you a lot today. I was picking songs for you this morning and I broke down, Travis held me close and right when I needed him most, Jameson busted in the room and said “Mama”. Thank you for that. Thank you for sending me little signs that you are okay. Please watch over Jameson. I promise each and every one of my children will know what an amazing Uncle Tyler they have. I know that this is what God wanted, but I just can’t shake the feeling that you are going to come back. Maybe it’s because you never really left us. I love you Bub. I am so proud to be your sister. I love you so much. Until we meet again.

I love you bro. I can't describe the pain this has brought us. I will get thru this and I will help your parents to the best of my abilities. I know you are at home with God. I also know we will join you some day soon. I will see you on the other side, and I won't be late!

I didn't know Tyler very well. In fact I only talked to him 2 times. He was at my grandparents house doing an inspection. I remember him as a very caring and patient guy that took the time to help my grandparents understand things that he found during the inspection. My he rest in peace. Condolences to his family!

Our hearts are broken with the news of Tyler's sudden and tragic death. There's really no words to describe the sorrow we feel for his loss and the pain in the hearts of all those that loved Tyler. My earliest memory of Tyler was when he was just a little squirt jumping off the concrete steps at his grandparents house in West Jordan, shouting just before jumping onto the grass, 'cowabunga dude!' It was hilarious :) The last time I spoke to Tyler in person was in SLC, so handsome and tall with a wonderful smile and loving sweet heart, always wanting to help out. Recently I got the chance to facetime him just prior to his death in Kansas, so handsome and strong. Tyler, you'll always be in our hearts, you dear man. We're so sorry you're gone. My hope is that we can find a quiet peace in and minds and offer support for each other during this terrible time we're enduring. We love you Shane, Chris, Shelby, Zach, Evelyn, Russ and his family and friends in Kansas, California, Nevada and in Utah. Kelly & Christina - New Zealand :)
