I can tell by reading all of the entries that Skylar was very loveable, funny and a good friend to many. My heartfelt sadness is felt for my good friends Paula and Larry Langston. Spectacular people and there's no doubt that Skylar was spectacular too.

Brandi and TJ, I am so sorry for your loss. I never got a chance to meet Skylar, but I come here two or three times a week over the last few and I have read so many wonderful things about your son, it seems he touched so many peoples lives and that is something to be so proud of. My heart goes out to you all, there are absolutely no words that can be spoken to take the pain away but hopefully "time" will ease it and just knowing that you raised a son that left a positive mark on everyone he came in contact with, maybe that will comfort you some...Just call if you need anything. God Bless

I didn't know you personally, but through your Grandpa Larry and Grandma Paula, we heard funny stories along with all the times you made your family laugh, enjoying their lives with you. You are missed but we know you are enjoying heaven and making the angels laugh.

Dear Skylar: Today I was dusting my living room and there you are, smiling, in three photos - and then two more on my corkboard family photo frame in dining room. But we don't need photos to remember you. You are forever printed, indelibly, in our memories. Whenever I have choir practice on Thursdays and sing in the choir at Mass on Sunday I will think of you - how we both loved to sing. We love you and know you are singing with the angels in heaven. Love Great Grandma and Grandpa Demechko

Skylar.
Man was he a good kid and a great friend.
I remember he was the one that was always,always,always there for me when I needed somebody the most. Like last year in choir. He was the one that put that big smile on my face everyday. I remember when we used to call each other fat and he made up nicknames for who was the fattest. Or how he would call me Sasquatch. Man those were the days. Or when he trid to take a picture of us in choir and Mrs. Wyatt was watching. He was such a great friend to have. He was so nice to everybody. I know he is in a better place now though. He and his family are in my prayers. I will miss my great friend.
Rest in peace.

To All the Family

May God hold each one of you very close during this time. Skylar touched so many lives just being himself and that comes from faith and a loving family. Hold on to your faith as God is only a prayer away.

I will continue to pray for all of you.

I didn't personally know this young man, but I know he was a wonderful person who is being taken care of in heaven. Anyone one with grandparents like Paula and Larry in their family has simply got to be one heck of a super individual. Deepest sympathy to the family.

Skylar~ What a fun guy! I particularly enjoyed your wonderful smile and the way you helped others feel better. I know I gave you "trouble" about your feet on the bench at lunch but I surely didn't want you to tip over. I loved having the StuCo kids at our house during your traveling dinner. You were so sweet to my little Yorkie. I'll never forget your smile. Mrs. Dabney

Skylar was a great friend of mine and he is missed dearly. I know he is in heaven with our heavenly father and i know i will see him again someday. I just only wish i had a chance to tell him i love him one more time and say my goodbyes! I know this was a suprise to me and lots of his friends. I will pray for your family. I know the pain won't go away but the saddness will. I won't ever forget skylar and i know no one else will too. He was a very creative, nice, smart, funny, and respected boy. My prays go out to ya'll.

Condolences and our prayers go to the family. As a driver for the Chickasha School District, Skylar rode my bus. He was usually keeping the other students laughing at some of his antics. I know those who sat with him on the bus will miss him. I know I will miss seeing him waiting for the bus to arrive. God Bless you all.

I am so sorry my little man. I must say that for me being the "grumpy" neighbor lady you really touched me and I speak of you often. I absolutely loved your honesty and the way you spoke up for yourself and others when you thought they were being done wrong! You were definitely, someone everyone should know. I have learned a lot from you during our weekly chats on the front lawn. I always knew you were good to bring a smile and definitely a good laugh from one of your stories.
You will be greatly missed.
