I´ve known Tyler for around 24 yrs since the day me and my family moved in by him he was the first one are circle to greet me and welcome my family to the neighborhood. I instantly liked him and as time went along living next to him I learned he was from around where my father grew up and new a lot of the same people he did growing up I think that´s what brought us closer as neighbors and as friends him telling me story´s of where he grew up and all the things he did as a young man we always joked about how one of us was going to swipe parts of each others jeep since we both had the same year model and color in a are yard. I am truly going to miss my neighbor and friend, may he find peace and all his loved ones in heaven I know I will see you again my friend.
For ever your friend,
