Ty Shelly,& family, please know that you and your family have been in our and our church family's thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,. God works in such mysterious ways. Ty, we so appreciated our discussion when you shared your faith and told about your family when you were working on our home project a couple of weeks ago. We feel like your son is touching even more people in his death than in his life.

Ty, Shelly, MeKenna, Kyah, and Max,
I am sending my love and sympathy your way today. You know I loved TJ. He is a student I will never forget. I am heartbroken and will pray for your family that God meets you in your grief and gives you comfort. So many people are better off for having known TJ, and that includes me. What a blessing it was to be a part of his life! I've kept my eye on him, looked him up occasionally just to see what he was accomplishing in high school. I knew he would be successful! I've always admired your family for being so strong and so close. I will be praying for all of you.

Our heart breaks for the Van Koevering family. We have learned that TJ played many positive roles in many people's lives. To our son and nephew he was a friend and diligent worker that brought joy and energy to the jobsite. Thank you TJ! We promise to continue to pray for the family and many others that will miss his regular presence in their lives. May God grant each of you His Peace.

Dear Ty, Shelly, MeKenna, Kyah, and Max,
My heart breaks for you all at the loss of your beloved son and brother! I have very fond memories of TJ as a 4th grade student. He was a sweet boy with a fun-loving personality. I will never forget his great smile. I know he will be greatly missed by many. Regretfully, I am away and not able to attend the funeral but please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers daily!

TJ, thank you for being a great teammate and an even better friend to my younger brother Grant. I will always remember you for your tenacious work ethic. passion for life, and love for those around you.
