To the family (near and distant) of Tyler A. Yount, may God be a comforter to you during this time of loss and sorrow. Hold on to God's unchanging hand and keep your love and thoughts of Tyler close to you heart. My family and I offer you our deepest sympathy and prayers. May God's love shine upon you.

Dearest Alan, Teri, Mr. Yount (grandpa) and the Yount family,
Words, our tool for expression. With Tyler's passing there are no words for the heartache, sorrow, pain, and loss. There is comfort and hope in knowing that although Tyler's earthly life has come to an abrupt end, his eternal life with our Lord Jesus has just begun. And those (I know grandma Rosebud)who preceded him in death are there to welcome him into the Kingdom of God.
My prayers and Love to you all during this time.
Renna and Wayne

I want to send my prayers to Tyler's Family and Friends...I met Tyler a few years ago and we became good friends. Tyler was a great friend and a great person to talk to. I was in total shock when I heard this. Last time I spoke to Tyler he was happy and was working and going to school. He is now an Angel that is going to fly over all of you!

You are all family to us, we love you all and share in your sorrow.
