Miss you Tyler . Was just googling you. Wish you could see the bands and the musicians that are here today because of our contributions. I still have people ask about you all the time . People from all over the world ask about you or still send condolences. You had a big impact with the music . I think more people in our hometown should know that your big story wasn't your death. It is that you continue on , inspiring others . Your music survives in ways we never imagined.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Garth and family-
My condolences to your family at this time of sorrow. My family knew yours when we lived in Mattoon 25 years ago and my brothers and myself played with your children. In losing touch with you family years ago, I've read the other entries and see Tyler grew into a wonderful young man from the little blonde haired boy I knew.
My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved Tyler.

Dear Judy, Bob, Garth and family, My heart goes out to you and was torn when I heard about Tyler. My prayers are with you at this difficult time. It is so hard to understand Gods plan when a life so young and vibrant is taken away, but usually it happens for a reason and I'm sure he is in a special place and his spirit will always be with us.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Although I only met Tyler a couple of times, I could never forget his smile and wonderful spirit. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to know him better. My heart goes out to you.

As everyone can see by the emotional and touching entries, Tyler was a very special person. He holds a very special place in my heart, and always will. Everyone talked of his kindness, but to be truly loved by him was something so out of this world, it's hard to explain. He was my first "real" boyfriend, and the first person to show me unconditional love, so I got to experience his greatness first hand. We dated many years, and we always remained good friends. For that I'm very grateful,because I always thought he'd be in my life forever. I was so lucky to have been loved by Tyler. When I heard of his death, I got out all my old notes he wrote me, and they only reassured me how lucky I was. Tyler gave a love so pure, and a love like that only comes around once in a lifetime. My heart goes out to Bob,Judy,Garth, and the rest of their family, I can't begin to imagine what this nightmare has been like for them. I also loved how everyone talked about his smile, because besides those sparkling blue eyes, his smile got me everytime.

We were so saddened to hear about Tyler. We left Mattoon years ago, but we can still remember your cute little boys all spiffed up and trying to be attentive at Mass.
We lost our son and Tim lost a brother a year and a half ago, so we can understand your pain. Know that your friends care, that they don't always know what to say, but that they will be there for you.

I didn't realize how much I missed Tyler until I heard the news of his passing. I haven't really seen Tyler since high school but he will always hold a special place in my heart (and a scar on my knee where he hit me in floor hockey :-)) My deepest sypathies go out to his family for their loss. My prayers are with you.

Bob, Judy, Garth and Family,
My deepest sympathies for your loss. It seems like just yesterday that Tyler, Greg, Blake, and myself were playing in that ensemble we called a band or playing tennis ball scooter tag in my backyard. I'll will always have fond memories of causing plenty of mischief over at the club and throughout the neighborhood, and then staying the night only to be woken up by the smell of one of Judy's wonderful breakfasts. The times we shared were always filled with fun and laughter, and that's how I will always remember him.
Chris Peterson
March 12, 2005
My deepest sympathies in this hard time. I will never forget all of Tylers laughs and that big smile. Most of all, I will always remember how, when I busted my little brother collin out for his partying, Tyler never treated me differently, even though he was Collins best friend. Somehow, I felt he knew where I was coming from. The Jones family had showed pure kindness and warm words on so many occasions to myself and my family. Blessings, Chris Peterson
Erica Sharma
March 12, 2005
My deepest sympathy to the entire Jone's family. Just like everyone else says, Tyler always treated everyone with genuine respect. He would always say hi to me passing the halls in high school when I didn't really know him at the time. What a great guy! Yolanda, my heart goes out to you, as well, and if you ever need anything we are all here for you! Colin, wish I could have been there this week. I know how hard this is. Call Kayce and I ANYTIME we are just a few hours away. Never too far away for a friend.

I DID NOT KNOW TYLER BUT MY DAUGHTERS, JAYME AND ANGIE WATTS DID. IN FACT TYLER, USED TO TAKE THE TIME AND TALK ON THE PHONE TO HER YOUNGER BROTHER. BEN NEWTON TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH AND SAID IT WELL. THE VISITATION SHOWED THE BEAUTY OF GOD THAT LIVES IN TYLER,GARTH, BOB, AND JUDY. GOD IS NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE AND YOUR FAMILY HAS THIS QUALITY DOWN BEAUTIFULLY. THE OBITUARY SPOKE OF TYLER'S LOVE AND CARING AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE LEARNED THAT BEAUTIFUL QUALITY FROM HIS PARENTS. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU!

There is a lot to be said for someone who can brighten up those around him. I guess that is why so many people have contributed their thoughts about Tyler. I went to high school with Tyler and remember what I nice guy he was. Everyone mentions his smile, but in high school his hair was another physical representation of what a great spirit he was. I just saw Tyler this last December and we talked about what was going on in our lives. I was reminded of how friendly and welcoming a person he could be. I am very saddened by the loss of Tyler and offer my condolences to his family.

We were so sorry to hear about the loss of Tyler. He was a wonderful person that touched many lives. Although we do not always understand, God takes people when he feels it is ther time to go. Tyler did his job here on Earth and now he is in Heaven making everyone there happy. Tyler will always be remembered with a smiling face and loving heart. You will be in our thoughts and prayers now and forever.

Bob, Judy, Garth, and family,
Tyler was a great, outgoing person who always made time to say hi. He was one of the first people that I met and became friends with when i moved to Mattoon in Jr. high. Since then Tyler became a very close friend, whom i hung out with and saw every time i came home. I'll miss that. There is no knowing what you are going through, but know that Tyler will always live on in our hearts and in the minds of everyone he ever encountered. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. And Tyler.. man i am really going to miss the moments and listening to you play, you'll always be remembered and missed...

Dear Judy, Bob, & Family,
We are deeply sadden by the loss of
your son Tyler. Losing a child must be one of the hardest burdens parents have to bear. It was very difficult for us when we lost our son who was 32 yrs. old. Although you never get over the loss you just learn to tuck it away somewhere in your heart and learn to live with it.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
We went to the church for visitation 2 different times but the line was so long we just couldn't stay.

To the Jones Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
I was just thinking of Tyler and others while going through yearbooks this past week. Tyler was always such a wonderful person. He was always so full of life and energy. He will be missed. My thoughts & prayers go out to you.
Ben Newton
March 11, 2005
My sympathies and prayers are still with all of you.
Everybody talks about Tyler’s friendly smile, but talking about it does it little justice. The smile he gave was out of genuine delight to see and be with the people that he loved. Tyler was never too good to say "hello" to anyone. He seemed to consider nearly everyone to be his friend, and everybody wanted to be his friend. I don't know that he had an enemy.
Tyler was very cool. Everyone liked being his company; yet, he always was the one to act privileged to have the friends that he did. The visitation was a testament to that. I think that more classmates showed up for his wake than showed up at our Class Reunion. I saw more friends at his visitation than I have ever seen come home over any holiday. It is because he always said "Hello" to all of his friends, that all of his friends had to come and tell him "Goodbye". Many for years to come will miss him.
The strength that Bob, Judy, Garth, and the rest of the family showed through all of this confirmed where Tyler got his character. You all have every reason to be proud of yourselves, and of Tyler.

Bob, Judy and Garth,
I can't begin to tell you how sad I was to hear the news about Tyler. Beth and I were just talking about what a great visit we had with him not to long ago. He was just the kind of person that immediatly made you smile and laugh. I know that for years and years to come we all will continue to share moments with Tyler because his memories will live forever in our hearts and minds. You all are in my prayers.

Tyler,
I can't stop thinking about what shouldn't have been.
Looking back, I can't help but notice some similarities between the two of us: our love for music; our love for family; our love of sweets and food; our disdain for post-atari/nintendo video games; our dedication and obsession with interests. And hey...where did the blond hair come from?
Christmas will never be the same.

I sent you an email but I'm not sure I had the correct one, just want you to know I am thinking about you, and I feel your pain, as I have lost a brother and a sister. I think of it as, our dear LORD wanted them in HEAVEN for a reason. I love you and think of you often, if there is anything I can do to ease your pain, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thinking of all of you with heartfelt sympathy.
Life's journey has an unknown length and end, beyond the far horizon, out of view, or suddenly, around the nearest bend, eternal sunrise one day welcomes you. The ones who go before us lead the way to wait forever with a warm embrace.
Seems our children reach into our thoughts from day to day with memories that time will never erase.
We cannot take them by the hand or share their companionship and talk, we just go on with life as we had planned and sense their presence in our daily walk.
We know that someday we shall reunite in never-ending joy,peace,love and light.
May your hearts find comfort in knowing that Tyler waits for you, as my son Kenny waits for me.
Tyler had such a wonderful personality. He would always go out of his way when he saw me around town to yell " Hi Mrs. Perry how are you doing?" I can hear him now and see that beautiful big smile he always had.
May God be by your side at this difficult time in your lives.
As you walk this path of sorrow, may it comfort you to know caring friends will be walking with you.

Mr and Mrs Jones and family,
As I sit here and try to think of what to write that would capture my true feelings of sympathy I find that no words can come to mind that would do it justice. Tyler always had a grin on his face that was infectious. It seemed like everyone around him was always in on some joke, and they were. For Tyler life was fun and that passed on to those around him. I read what others had to say about him and I too share all their thoughts. However, I can also remember Tyler as the boy who would always make time to talk to those that might have needed a friend or just someone to listen to them. I respect that trait and wish that everyone would take a little of this to heart. Please know that you all are in my prayers.

My condolences to the Jones family... Tyler was probably one of my best friends, ever since highschool, and I dont have, nor ever had many friends. Tyler was a rare person, and I think it shows in the fact that he is loved and missed by so many. I only wish that in the last year I had seen him more often...I do not know what comfort I can offer, but I truly believe that when we leave this world, we are with the Lord, and I know that Tyler will be welcomed into his arms.
I love ya man....Godspeed.

For us, the Krause family, the privilage of being you're nieghbors was too short a time. But a time that will remain always as special in our hearts.
We will never forget Tyler's kindness when three small children, Austin and his best friend Meloney both dragging behind them, Abby who was just a toddler, would cross the back yards with thier destination being the Jones's patio. During spring or summer breaks if "Miss Judy" was running erronds, Tyler would be the one to answer the insistant knocking at the door with those three little expectant faces pressed to the glass. No matter how many times in a day that he would answer that knock, he would always have a smile on his face and make over them like he hadn't seen them in years. (when in actuality it was probably under an hour)Those three children knew, as somehow only children do, that no matter which one of the Jones's answered the door, that they were safe and loved, and would leave with sone kind words, a hug, a smile, and a Dilly Bar. Judy, you said to me once that you didn't understand where those two new boxes of Dilly Bars had gone. I think you privately thought Bob had eaten them but were just to polite to say so out loud. Well, it was Tyler being the benefactor of those three children. He never lost patience, or turned them away when they came knocking for a smile and a treat.
Our hearts are breaking for you're loss. You lost a very special son, Garth lost a wonderful brother, Jaime a wonderful brother-in-law and Joselynn and Resse lost an Uncle whom loved then very much.
May the Lord be with you.
The Krause's

Bob, Judy and Family.....
Brad and I have not been able to get you and your family off our minds since we heard the news about Tyler. To lose a child is not part of life's cycle, we can not imagine the pain you are going through right now. We can only hope that you will find some comfort in knowing the many hearts your son touched and knowing that you and your family are in the prayers of so many in hopes of brighter days for you to come soon.

It's hard to read all of these posts... everyone cared for Tyler so much, and he definitely had a lot of love for everybody. It seems like just yesterday we were leaving tennis practice to go jam. Music was always one of Tyler’s greatest loves... and I can't express how proud I was to be a part of that. He was one of the most amazing musicians I've ever known... the way he could visualize musical compositions was truly very special, and extremely rare. Without Tyler, music would have just been a hobby for me… he helped me turn that into something much, much more.
My deepest sympathies go out to Bob, Judy, Garth and the rest of the family. Tyler left a part of himself in all of us, and he will live on.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Tyler was a great guy. I happened to see him last fall and he walked up to me and said "you don't know who I am do you?". I chuckled and said, "of course I do Tyler, you look the same as you did when we were in junior high". It was cute. He just smiled big and we both kind of laughed. He was a very nice guy.
It's tough times but somehow you make it through. Stick together and count on one another. My deepest sympathy.
