I will always remember Tyler and his buddies from math class at Lane. Tyler was a strong student, a handsome and respectful young man. Though I know he will be greatly missed by his family and friends, surely all of heaven's angels danced with joy the day they welcomed such a sweet boy. I have no doubt that many, many prayers have been lifted to the Father in honor of Tyler's short life and his family's terrible loss. Tyler is home now, and I take comfort in knowing that I will see him again one day. God bless you, Tyler Foster.

Tyler,
It just doesn't seem real that you are gone. It seems like just yesterday I was walking with you in the hallways with your two bookbags on your back. I just want you to know that you will never be forgotten. You will always live through each and every one of us. I just ask that you will continue to watch over us, and know that everything we do from now on is for you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TYLER!!!!! R.I.P

I wanted to say to this wonderful Blessed family. The Lord sees all of your tears. He has counted everyone. Though you wipe them away, He has bottled all of them. He loves you and Only He can hold you. No one can know the pain of losing a brother, or a son, unless you have also lost one. I see the grief my sister and my nephew’s are going through. They will miss Tyler and I know so will you.

I have said all this to say. Please don't keep your eyes on the right now, but look for the evermore. Tyler is not here, but he is waiting on you and making room for you there with the Lord. I have buried my brother and my little girl. I know the pain that you are enduring. I am on the backside of 20 years that she has been gone now. It does easy up, not in a few hours, days, weeks, months or years. Somehow, when I was not looking the Lord just moved that pain. I just say lean on Him who has your tomorrows and controls your today. He can hold you. He can love you and I know that He will keep you. Your all in my prayers.

Brad, Kim, Brittney, The 3 Js (Jordan, Julian, Jonathan), The entire Foster and Graves Family and Friends,

We are praying for you that God will take you through this and thereafter (the "firsts" and the "if Tyler was here" moments).
God will strengthen and comfort as you continue to hold each other with love and unity.
Some may say, "I know what you going through." But every "go through" is different-it's your loved one.

Hold your head up and trust and lean on the Lord. He is only one who really knows and understands how you are feeling and will take you through the healing process.

Dwell on the special memories of Tyler and allow them not to be forgotten.
Much love and prayers,
Eddie, Sheila, Erika, Chelsea and Gabrielle Anderson

Robert, Kim, Brittney and Alana and the entire Foster Family Words can't express how sorry I am of your loss.When I first saw Tyler I believe it was during an AAU game he reminded me so much of my brother Artis with his soft,timid demenor, his eyes. Thats why this is so hard as I write this because Tyler was like a brother to me, as all Artis close friends were, like little brothers to me always wondering how they were.It seems like yesterday when Kim and I were talking about how Tyler was looking forward to college while preparing team dinner.While I never got to know Tyler like I would have I did get to know Kim. You you are such a great person and mother, to Robert I only knew you as Tyler Foster's dad I knew you were a great father when you were always at the basketball,football games and track meets to see Brittney cheer and Tyler play which let me know that you are an awsome dad. With that type of support system only assures me that my little brother was and is a great son, brother, uncle, friend,and person who will always be missed and always remembered. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your entire family. With these hard times and the pressures of (Job) always stay strong together never let your bond break seek comfort in the Lord, each other and family and remember that Tyler Matthew Foster was greatly loved and we all will see him again.

Dear Foster Family
Our hearts go out to your family in this terrible time. Tyler was a wonderful young man who Craig and I both enjoyed getting to know through football. He worked so hard and gave everything he had to his teammates. I really enjoyed the times when his niece would stand at the fence and shout his name at practice. Although he was concentrating, he would turn his head and give her a quick smile. Please take comfort in knowing that Tyler is with his Maker. God Bless You All. Craig and Christina Fails

Remember me as you do today
Don't let my grief take you away

Please don't cry or even scream
For God has chosen this for me

If my leaving has left a void
Fill it with laughter and joy

I love you all very much
One day we all shall be in touch

Until then remember me as you do today
Give a wink and blow a kiss
Remember my laughter and sweet bliss

I'll see you soon, farewell my friends
My time here, has come to an end...

This is dedicated to Matthew Tyler Foster.

-On behalf of those who knew him...you will be missed dearly.

I wasnt close friends with Tyler, but through football, we bonded like no other,even though i was on offense and u were on defense, almost every play during scout offense or inside drill i had to go against u and thats why i looked forward to every practice because u would make me better every day, and also u made me a better person physically, mentally, and spritually. i kno the whole team misses u man, and we all love u. I kno ur in a better place now and I cant wait til we meet again.
god bless u T-foss

November 29, 2006

i dnt know exactly where to start because i wasnt exactly friend with Tyler. i knew of him and who he was. he seemed like a real laid back type guy. one that would be easy to git along with an real coo.. when i heard the story, it broke my heart. today, sittin in the cafeteria at Snider this morning, people who were usually loud and crazy were calm and quiet. the whole school just seems depressed.. but to think about it, i guess they really do have reason to be. Tyler and his family will be in my prayers always and i wish the best to his family. i know what its like to lose family and to lose a friend. Tyler was both to so many people. Tyler, know that youre very much loved and missed and will live thru all of your friends. together, living thru them, i know theyll fulfill all of your dreams. im not gonna sit and say Rest In Peace because thats basically saying goodbye. im just gonna leave at this.. we love you and well see you soon!

Dear Kim, Brad, and Brittany:
I am sending this on behalf of myself and my mom. We lived next door to Mr. and Mrs. Foster up until I moved to Ft. Wayne 4 years ago. I remember Brittany and Tyler when they were younger and visiting their grandparents. We are deeply saddened by your son's passing and our prayers are with you. We pray that you continuously look to the hills from whence cometh your help. During these times people often do not know what to say, but I can only tell you that your help comes from the Lord.
Our prayers are with you.

Dillon Painter

I only knew Tyler for 2 years, through football and both of us being defensive players on the team, but his work ethic, personality, and character was something special. In the practices and games, he would also help me out on my reads, and never had a problem if I messed up or wasn't sure what to do. At school, if I saw him he would always say "Hey" followed by a brief conversation. Everyone is going to miss Tyler, but memories we had with him will never be forgotten. Tyler and his family are in our prayers.

Crystal Crawford

November 29, 2006

Hey friend...this whole thing doesn't seem real...just the other day we were walking the halls at school talking about our football game; now your not here and i miss you so much you were my buddy.

-Tyler-
All this seems unreal to each and every last one of us! Just know the quiet laid back too COO type of person you were it just hurts so bad to know you are no longer with us. I remember like yesterday when we got in trouble in Mr.Mustapha's class cause you were cheating off my paper! Or in english when you could NEVER stay awake, but you made sure each morning you had your Gatorade and a poptart! those times will be cherished and never forgotten! We know your watchin down on us and in a far more better place! We love you and we will see you again some day! To the Foster family you all are in my prayers and may God continue to bless you.

Brad, Kim and Brittney and the Foster Family,

My heart is extremely heavy, because Tyler has gone away from us all. (I remember the day he was born that I came to the hospital to see him) I remember his quiet demeanor, his loving and kind nature, his friendliness. Above all, I am praying for you daily, as God's hand of comfort takes you, holds you, rocks you gently and peacefully. I pray that God will carry you through this time of loss and sorrow with all the grace, mercy, peace and comfort that you can bear. May the peace of God reign supreme in your lives.

Adam Painter

November 29, 2006

My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Foster family. Tyler was a great friend and teammate for the past four years. I am very thankful for the short time I had to spend with Tyler, I know that I am a better person for having our lives cross paths. I will always remember Tyler for his great personality, leadership and athleticism on the football field. I will keep the family in my prayers and keep Tyler in my heart and memories forever.

Clem - Travone Hall

November 29, 2006

Heartfelt condolences to the Foster family. Tyler was a very special young man. When we moved from Fort Wayne to Green Bay a couple of years ago, our son Travone Hall kept in touch with Tyler. I remember when Travone would spend the night over your house, he always came home saying it felt like family and Tyler was his brother. You will always be in our prayers. Clem, Marsha and Travone Hall

Tyler was an amazing person. I remember the good times in middle school when I first got to know him.. Passing the football before football practice, playing dodgeball before basketball when the coach wasn't in there, or just hanging out. You will not be forgotten! I love you Tyler aka Lil' Fosta, for the select few who know about that.
