Tiburon, I still can't believe this is real. Even seeing your name attached to an obituary makes my stomach turn.. I love you so very much sweet boy. I miss you. And I know I will see you again one day, when the Lord calls me home as well. I'll make sure your sisters know how much you adored them, even when they're older. We all love you so much.. til we see each other again, rest easy sweet boy. I think of you every single day, and will forever.
Love you,
Aunt Liz

My name is Mr. DeBock and I taught Tiburon when he was a senior at MBHS. I can only say my heart goes out to the family. Tib was ALWAYS smiling and good person all around. We had many conversations that kept me interested and laughing. I will miss him. And for anyone who recognizes my name... PLEASE tell someone you love them TODAY. They need to hear it.

Tiburon, In our corner of the world, we've watched you grow from chubby boy to handsome man, blonde curls and beaming smile. We know of your love for God, and how you wanted to be a preacher. By your witness and giving spirit and final sacrifice you have preached to us. On this day, the second anniversary of the accident, we know of your struggle. I wish I could give you a big hug and tell you it's going to be ok. But I know God is holding you in His ever-loving arms and it is ok. We miss you, love you.
Zach, as always, we are here for you. Y'all are the bestest friends and we love you so much.

My thoughts and prayers are with Tib's family and friends. He was a student that warmed the classroom with his smile and friendly demeanor. He was a genuine and caring young man who had much loyalty to his friends, and family. He will be dearly missed, but always remembered.

Words cannot express the sadness we feel at the loss of this amazing young man. Tiburon was one of our son Elliot's best childhood friends. So many memories of his smile hugs and kindness will always be a part of the Park family. Our prayers cover the Thomas family in this unimaginable grief. Our hearts are broken and there will be a hole in the neighborhood without Tiberon here. Thank you for sharing your son with all of us, he made the world a better place and forever touched any and all who knew him.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Mike always had such fun with Tib and your family when he was little, and you were always so kind in sharing your family with us.

I didnt know Tib that well but I do know that he was there for anyone in need. I remember when my father passed away and I went to his house. He asked me how I was doing and I just fell to the ground in tears. I couldnt help it. Tib got right on the floor with me and held me while I cried while telling me everything would be alright. It really felt like he wouldn't of wanted to be anywhere else at the time. He made my tears go away and helped me get back up on my feet. We sat and talked about my dad, him and Tib had common interest in Chevelles, Hunting, and the same love for The Doors. I know my dad and unlce found him and I bet theyre blaring Jim Morrison having a blast. Rest in peace you beautiful soul. You will always be in my heart. To the parents, I am so sorry and I know that doesnt make anything better but if you need anything let me know I will definitely do my best. You raised a wonderful man.

May your light and love for life forever shine through the hearts of your loved ones and friends. We had a few classes together in highschool and I can assure you, you left a memory and imprint on anyone to have ever had the pleasure of meeting you. May you rest in peace Tiburon and may you're family feel as loved this Christmas as much as people have loved you. We will all miss you. My condolences to the Thomas family no words are enough to comfort the loss and grief they are experiencing but rest assured Tiburon is unconditionally loved and many prayers are being sent for the family that loved him and many tears are being shed by all. To Tiburon may his spirit live on forever through all the lives he touched.
