Tyler was one of my favorite students in 6th grade. I also ran into him frequently at Schnucks. It was always a joy to see him and catch up. I am so sad to know that he is no longer with us.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Ty a few times but with his personality they were times to remember. My Uncle Larry (His grandfather) brought the family down to Branson and I went to Silver Dollar City with the them and what fun. I don't think I saw one minute when Ty did not have a smile on his face. He was a wonderful young man who was taken too early from so many people that loved him. My prayers are with Jill and the whole family. Remember the good times and that smile.

Tyler was such a sweetheart. I met him while dating his father. Tyler helped me move into my home, December 2019. I have so many good memories of that day. He will be missed dearly. I pray God comforts his family ❤
