I went to college at Chaminade with Ty. His energy was amazing and I had some of the best times of my life with this guy. He was a great friend. I googled his name to see what he was up to and unfortunately came upon this. My prayers are with his family. I remember the great Thanksgiving trip to Dallas and visiting the ranch in the early 2000s.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow. Those who pass on, God keeps in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. My sincerest condolences. (Psalms 116:15)

Debra, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I pray God's grace will surround you, comfort you and hold you close during this difficult time. Earth is not our home, so I pray you can find peace in God's promise to bring us home.

When Tyler was around 6 years old, Debra brought him with her to a friend's parent's lake house. We were out on the lake skiing with Tyler with us in the boat. He watched attentively as his mom attacked the slalom course in her typically aggressive and skillful manner. When Debra was done, I was at the back of the boat pulling her in with the rope while Tyler stood on one of the seats. A big wave came by and knocked Tyler off onto the floor and he bumped his head. When I saw his face, he had a frightened, startled look and was trying desperately not to cry. I picked him up as soon as it happened and he hugged me until he felt a little better. He never cried. Later, at the dock, he came up to me, pulled me down so that his face was at my ear and he asked in a whisper, "Was I very brave?" My response was to the affirmative. With that, he gave me a big smile, got back on the boat and folded all of the towels!

Glenn & family:
Words can not express our sadness. The Aguilar family will treasure its many memories and shared times on Guam with Tyler. He touched our lives with his laughter and childhood naughtiness! Eternal rest grant unto him, Lord. May perpetual light shine upon him. Love and prayers,

I am so speechless over your loss. I was fortunate enough to get to see Tyler at Hester's about three weeks ago. He came over to the table where Doug and I were sitting and gave me a big hug and stayed and spoke to the both of us for a minute. He was such a perfect gentleman. I will always remember that day.

For the short period of time that I knew Tyler, I found him to be a very sweet kind caring person. He loved his friends and especially his family. Tyler talked about them often. Tyler will be dearly missed by all.
Lots of love to the Stone/Gertz families

I am sending my deepest sympathy to all of Tyler's family and friends. The loss of a young man so full of spirit and love for life is certainly unbearable. Parent's should never have to bury their own. May God lay his hand upon them and may they embrace in the fond memories of their son.
All my love, hugs and prayers are with you.
