Tyler Walker Obituary

Tyler Brandon Walker
Tyler was a larger than life kind of kid. He loved everything. He loved anything with a motor: motorbikes, boats, four-wheelers, Sea-Doos, tractors, trucks and airplanes. He had an amazing ability to build and create. One of his latest interests was building remote-control airplanes. Tyler loved the outdoors and nature. He loved hunting and would spend hours out with his gun and his best bird-dog (his younger brother Jeremy). Tyler was a friend to everyone and loved to talk and talk and talk about everything. Tyler had a great love for his family.
He was very close to his mother and loved to go on "dates" with her. He spent many hours working with his father in his construction business and could work as hard as any man. He had great determination and drive which is demonstrated by his goal of earning his Eagle Scout before he turned 13 years old. He completed all of his requirements just before his 13th birthday and was awarded his Eagle Scout. Most importantly, Tyler wanted to be "good." He wanted to be a good friend, he wanted to be a good brother, he wanted to be a good student, he wanted to a good scout, he wanted to make his Heavenly Father proud of him. His enthusiasm and love of life was contagious, and it will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

Tyler, you're the best!! We miss you sooooo much. School is not the same without you. Social studies is too quiet. I will never forget your how funny you were (and still are). Meet you on the other side

Having personally lost a loved one only too soon, and having experienced that exquisite pain and grief, my greatest hope is that others will not have to suffer so. But in the wisdom of our loving Heavenly Father, I can not be granted my wish--but I can cry and grieve for you and your family, and pray for your comfort.

The Walkers have a far-reaching legacy of love and example. Your family is dear to many. You are in the hearts and prayers of so many you will not ever know. At times like these, it is difficult to see the blessing, but it is there.

I have found great peace in the wonderful hymns. Be still my soul . . .

One that is not included in the LDS hymnal has been a special strength to me: No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I'm clinging; Since Love is Lord over heaven and earth, HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING?

No storm . . .

May you feel the arms of our Heavenly Father lovingly wrapped around you, and be brought to sing the song of his redeeming love.

As you already know, time and the Spirit will ease the sorrow. A new knowledge and understanding of our Savior's atonement will shine down on you. And the day will come, when with great joy, you will again embrace your beautiful children, never again to be separated.

May peace be yours quickly . . .

It's so hard to find the words to express the sorrow and heartache we feel for your family. We've cried and prayed for you sence we heard. May the Lord fill you with peace and comfort in the knowledge of our Eternal families. God be with you.

Heavenly Father obviously trusted you with some of his most amazingly spiritual children. Hold on. Just hold on. I love you.

This was a very sad and tragic accident. I have shed tears and I have never met you, but have been very impressed with what I have read. We just have to trust in the Lord as to why. My prayers are for the living as your journey is complete.

Tyler's smile is one of the happiest smiles I have seen on a child. In his far to short life, I am sure the happiness he brought to your family is unmeasureable. We have a grandson Tyler who will be 14 in June. I look at him and think "how could I handle loosing him or one of my other granchildren" I would pray that I could find strength in the Lord to see me through the road that will lead from life here on earth to Heaven. We pray that you will find comfort in you precious memories and your strong faith will guide you. You are in the hearts of so many now and the prayers, and regardless of the faith of the praying, our prayers are heard. Until you meet with Tyler again in Heaven, may your path be blessed and when you are sad, may your memories bring you comfort. Our prayers are with you.

My name is Vikki Marie Wiessner. I am the neighbor to Brian and Brenda Walker in Nampa 7th ward. We have not met here on earth formally, but nevertheless, it will not prevent me from sharing my testimony and attempt to share in your grief as another parent and member of the LDS church. Your children's examples are true lives that manifest love and good teaching in your home. I have read what others DO know about them and have been touched by their friendships and examples. I know these words of expression to be true and want to commend you, as parents, as a family, and as members, that you have influenced for the good all that know you...and DON'T know. That's how far good examples can go...farther than the sight allows.
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin has stated: "Those who journey to higher ground love the Lord with all thier hearts...They also love Heavenly Father's children, and their lives manifest that love. They care for their brothers and sisters. They nurture, serve, and sustain their spouses and children. In the spirit of love and kindness, they build up those around them, They give freely of their substance to others. They mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort."

I am certain words are comforting but cannot fix all emotions over night or suddenly. And I do not think good people are trying to do that. We love you and are concerned for you in this time of healing and shock. We want to reassure you that all the good you each have done individually and collectively as a family are now coming back to you. This is your time to need, to share, to have done on your behalf. And, knowing us well, or meeting us through this time, it is all about friendship and love. Christ did not know each and every one He healed first. He had a love for them that was stronger than social standing and casual friendships. Nothing is casual about love.

I am here to extend my love and concern. I would like to serve you in any way you would let another.

Thank you for letting us share with you our love both far and near, both old and new, for we are all in this together...and together we will all get back Home.

I bear testimony that I know this church to be the true church on earth. I know it was restored in the manner in which it bears record of happening. I know Heavenly Father and our Savior are the only Ones to know how to succor properly and rightfully. I only pray we stand worthy enough to be used by Thier guidance and love to help you. That we say the words in a right manner guided by the Spirit that can only touch the hearts as it should be. I know from whence we came, I know why we're here, and I know where we are going through the knowledge placed here through our loving Prophet Joseph Smith. I know Heavenly Father and the Savior loved us enough to have The Plan of Salvation, and we loved Them enough to want to participate. Through whatever our fate and our circumstances, we all felt it worth it and we knew the Atonement would cover all of it...and the words of wisdom by our Father, "All is well, all is well."

please accept our love, testimony and our help...it is yours to have.
